We are pleased to announce that we will be taking a group of students to the Amazon this coming August.

Amazon Shamanic Medicine provides a unique, intensive exploration of the plant-based medicines of Amazon rainforest, a body of knowledge derived from shamans who are considered among the most capable of natural healers alive today. Examples of medicinal plants covered include Sangre de grado, Catuba, San Pedro Cactus, and Ayahuasca. The course involves three two-hour class sessions, and eight days of travel and participation in studies and rainforest activities, in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.
