Tripping the Amazon! - South America's Transformation Trail

Tripping the Amazon (and the Andes) has meant a year on the South American Transformation Trail. And still going strong!


Glorious! I've been river traveling deep Amazon and crawling the peaks of the Andes on a pre-Inca road (one lane) that was partially paved and open 'til the rains of 2017. Taking up residence with Amazon natives to live their rhythm made me one of the family. Ceremonies in Brazil were good for teaching the social (communal) side of ayahuasca and the love that is to be found there. The Shipibo people of the Ucayali River, Peru are a magic matriarchal community. Open, caring and have a special touch.... This year has been full of natives, seekers, shamans, healers and plant experts. My sense of appreciation knows no bounds. I have received much, shared much and cared much. The story is far, far from over. Much good has come of it all. And there's still more to come. And so much more to share, as it fortunately happens! Almabrazo!

Watch for soon to be published exploration; "Ayahuasca - The Amazon Path to Yourself", an in-depth journey that's otherworldly!

The Shaman Prays with a Trinity of Coca Leaves!

A trinity of Coca leaves is called a Kintu. For the Shaman (yatiri) a Kintu is a bridge, an offering, a means of lifting prayers up into the wind to be received by Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) then made reality.

Shaman healing, ceremony, the sacred leaf and more Andean culture available in the forthcoming "SnowBlind in the Andes - Sacred Leaf to Cocaine Tourism"

Alacitas! Embattled Festival of Abundance!


Some twist cultural events into a chance to save souls whether anyone would like that or not. And today in the battle for converts, some came armed. This is the most Andean fiesta of the year, "Alasitas," the Inca Festival of Plenty! And sadly for a few hours, it became a clash between ancient Andean tradition and extremist christian soldiers equipped with bullhorn, pamphlets and obvious lack of respect for all else but their own way of thought. Frankly, I never thought fanaticism was christian, moslem or jewish; just discourteous and intolerant.

Happy to report families went on to enjoy the sunny day and festival atmosphere in spite of theological attack...
