Areas of Expertise
My life’s purpose centers around facilitating journeys of self-discovery through ceremonial plant medicine and entheogenic offerings. The essence of Vipassana, a meditation practice taught over a 10-day silent course, involves observing reality as it is, within the body’s framework, moment to moment.
Since 2008, I have sat in a dozen courses, deepening my awareness and equanimity about suffering and its causes. As an initiated Sufi and leader in the Dances of Universal Peace, I relate with the wisdom of all the great traditions and serve from a place of integrity, caring, curiosity, understanding, and empathetic intuition. In 2010, my first plant medicine ceremony set into motion a pivotal motorcycle journey across South America and a lifelong relationship of healing and wisdom from the Plant Teachers.
My regular visits to the Amazon continue to inform me deeply about the interconnectivity of all things. With great respect, humility, and gratitude, I continue my work with entheogens. The lineage of Mestizo shamanism flowing from respected healers, such as Don Solon Tello, Dona Cristina, Don Jose Campos, and Don Nissan is where I primarily hang my medicine hat. I also draw inspiration from the Sacred Valley Tribe and Diego Palma’s teachings.
Ultimately, my approach is syncretic and held through the lens of non-duality. You may find me devotedly serving ayahuasca, jaguar (5-MeO-DMT), or a few other sacraments from the entheogenic pantheon. With a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and trained as a CHEK Practitioner, I am well connected in the holistic elements of human health and fitness as a certified addictions recovery and psycho-spiritual integration coach with Being True To You.
As a husband and father living in the mountains of British Columbia, I retired from a long career as a crew leader in wildfire suppression in order to follow the fire in my heart to serve those who feel called to growth and transformation and to help them recognize the shaman in each of us.
