My purpose is rooted in guiding people through self-discovery with ceremonial plant medicine and other entheogenic offerings. Vipassana, as taught in a 10-day silent course, invites us to observe reality as it is, moment by moment, through the body’s own experience.
Since 2008, I have attended a dozen courses, steadily deepening my awareness, balance, and understanding of suffering and its causes. As an initiated Sufi and leader in the Dances of Universal Peace, I draw from the wisdom of many great traditions and serve with integrity, care, curiosity, understanding, and empathetic intuition. In 2010, my first plant medicine ceremony sparked a life-changing motorcycle journey across South America and began a lifelong relationship with healing and wisdom through the Plant Teachers.
Regular journeys to the Amazon continue to teach me about the deep interconnection of all things. With respect, humility, and gratitude, I continue this work with entheogens. My primary lineage is rooted in Mestizo shamanism, carried by respected healers such as Don Solon Tello, Dona Cristina, Don Jose Campos, and Don Nissan. I also receive inspiration from the Sacred Valley Tribe and the teachings of Diego Palma.
My approach is ultimately syncretic and shaped through a non-dual lens. You may find me devoted to serving ayahuasca, jaguar (5-MeO-DMT), and other sacraments within the entheogenic tradition. With a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and training as a CHEK Practitioner, I am also well versed in the holistic aspects of human health and fitness, and I serve as a certified addictions recovery and psycho-spiritual integration coach with Being True To You.
As a husband and father living in the mountains of British Columbia, I left a long career as a crew leader in wildfire suppression to follow the fire in my heart. Today, I support those who feel called to growth and transformation, helping them recognize the shaman within each of us.
