Since the late 90's I have organised journeys to the Amazon Rainforest and the Andes to work with the shamans and the sacred 'jungle doctors' (healing and visionary plants) of this area. I have written numerous articles about the Amazonian plant medicines, and have worked with some of the most respected shamans in the region. I was baptised into their tribe by the Shipibo Indians in the Amazon, and was initiated into the lineage of the maestros of the Rio Napo in the Upper Amazon.
I co-authored the book Plant Spirit Shamanism (published by Destiny Books USA) with a foreword by the great visionary artist Pablo Amaringo.
