Beyond Ayahuasca

Traditional Ando-Amazonian medicine man takes readers through the three main pillars of Amazonian indigenous teachings, and through a deeper place of transformation and healing with insights and step-by-step guidance.

Beyond Ayahuasca empowers readers to transform their very relationship to themselves—and the entire universe—through a series of tools and practices, questions for self-inquiry and guided contemplation, reminders of the power to stay “real” and accountable throughout the innate spiritual journey, and information about the evolutionary science of humanity. This will aid in recognizing patterns in their life—both beneficial and malefic as well as provide the awareness training tools to help transform one’s life.

This book offers a unique guide to Ayahuasca ceremonial traditions, allowing the reader to have a direct firsthand experience of going through a shamanic rite of passage and apprenticeship, and realizing one’s fullest potential to live a life free of suffering.

"For the past two decades, I have incessantly studied and consulted with elders, native guides, ethnobotanists, anthropologists, and archaeologists of the Peruvian Amazon and the Andes. The lessons, revealed to me through these encounters and those discovered through personal practice, have been pieced together, thread by thread, to recreate a spiritual discipline of a forgotten and highly advanced civilization. Many elders I met referred to their ancestral wisdom as the evolutionary science of humanity. At the heart of this book is the indigenous evolutionary science of what it means to be human."
