  • Ancient Andean Traditions under threat by the UN - This month the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board recommended a ban on coca chewing and the use of coca in mass-consumption products such as tea in Peru and Bolivia. Millions of Indians have chewed coca on a daily basis for many hundreds of years, yet never has a plant been so misrepresented and its use so controlled by prejudice and ignorance, including up to the present day. The Conquistadors considered it an idle and offensive habit to be prohibited, but it was soon seen that the Indians could not work without coca even when forced to do so.
  • Ayahuasca Shamans and the Healing Plants of the Amazon Rainforest of Peru - Part 1 - The Ayahuasca Shamans Artidoro Aro Cardenas We have worked with Maestro Artidoro on our previous Amazon Retreats, and again we were greatly impressed with his knowledge of medicinal and power plants, and his compassion and support for the participants. Although Artidoro is Mestizo he has lived amongst the Ashaninka Indians for many years, and has learned their languages which result in that many of his chants come from a variety of indigenous groups including the Ashaninka, Cashibo, and Capanaua .He has started his own centre near Iquitos. Javier Arevalo We have worked with Javier since the late '90s on our Retreats, we also brought him to the UK for a special Amazonian Medicine camp in 2002.
  • Ayahuasca Shamans and the Healing Plants of the Amazon Rainforest of Peru - Part 2 - A note about aguardiente, often used for preparing plants. Good aguardiente is clear and pure. Adulterated, it looks cloudy and is not good for making medicine, it will upset the stomach because water and chemical alcohol - which is sold in the pharmacy for cleaning wounds and is not intended for drinking - have been mixed in to make economies. You should buy it straight from the alambique, the container where it is kept in the distillery. It is good to drink a little glass first thing in the morning for good breath and dental hygiene. Chullachaquicaspi The name refers to the Amazonian folktale about a gnome which lives in the jungle.

  • Ayahuasca Shaman - Javier Arevalo Interviewed in the Amazon Rainforest Peru - Spirituality is at the centre of the Ayahuasca experience. Purification and cleansing of body, mind, and spirit in a shamanic ceremony can be the beginning of a process of profound personal and spiritual discovery. This process can continue indefinitely even if one never drinks Ayahuasca again. We believe that by seriously looking at the way Ayahuasca is used we can improve our life experience and benefit more from this medicine. This article is extracted from the original interview by Howard G Charing and Peter Cloudsley which appeared in Sacred Hoop Magazine.
  • Medicine for the Soul - Plant Spirit Medicine of the Amazonian Rainforest - Medicine for the Soul 'Whether the plant is to heal the body or the spirit or whether it is part of an apprenticeship, what makes it work is your good intention towards the plant. They are beings, which have their own forms or they can be like human beings with faces and bodies. When the spirit accepts the person, and the person has the will, the spirit grants them energy. The path to knowledge opens, and the healing takes place' Guillermo Arevalo - Shipibo Maestro In the Amazonian tradition working with planta maestras (teacher plants) is known as the Shaman's Diet. The working can be seen as a conscious body of actions to incorporate the plant spirit into one's own spirit.
