Bio here.

yes. I really must write something here

I was born in Lincolnshire….

Oh and here are some FAQ’s of questions people have been asking

Jungle Trip

Q: What happened on the thirty days in the jungle alone?
Q: What happened to you when you’d finished?
Q: What was that yucky thing you swallowed?

Here are some of the replies I have sent to people who have emailed detailing their problems and asking for contact with Don Demetrio of Yumbatos..and the other shamans I have worked with

I got a lot of emails from people who feel stuck, who feel in need of a whack on the head or who feel let down by western medicine – and many feel that ayahuasca will be the right thing for them. That doesn’t mean that ayahuasca is the right thing for them though!

Annoyingly the answer (if there is one) probably lies in a combination of long sessions of talking therapy with a qualified psychotherapist, finding a good and understanding doctor….and then maybe one day again considering some of the more non mainstream therapies like ayahuasca.

That’s not because I am somehow special and can handle it – far from it. But life is a long game and there’s plenty of time.

When you really feel ready then best of luck. Unfortunately Don Demetrio is elusive. The phone number I had for his village of Yumbatos no longer works apparently.

Personally I would start with these people in Iquitos, Peru.

and work with them to right the right curandero to work with. And take care about the legalities and ethics of ayahuasca use.
