Tomek is a Plant Medicine Facilitator and Project Roots Coordinator at Numinous Ways, committed to holding spaces where healing can unfold and meaningful cultural connection can take root.
‘My first numinous experience came at the age of fifteen, when I encountered the spirit of Cannabis Sativa. It was an intense, dark, and purgative initiation that opened a doorway into deeper layers of existence. What some might call a “bad trip” I now understand as a profound beginning: the first step in a lifelong apprenticeship with the Plant Teachers.
Not long after, I explored altered states through MDMA and LSD alternatives, yet I felt increasingly drawn toward natural and traditional healing paths. That calling led me to the Master Plants of the Amazon and, later, to Peru, where I entered deep apprenticeships with Shipibo Shamans. Through several Master Plant Dietas, I learned the sacred disciplines of ceremony, the healing technology of Icaro singing, and the art of facilitating transformational spaces.
Moved by visions and insights received in Ayahuasca ceremonies, I felt guided to help create a place for learning and healing in the Amazon rainforest—land abundant with Ayahuasca vines and medicinal plants. My intention remains to honour the plants as the true teachers, support indigenous traditions, and help hold spaces for deep inner work.
Whether through music, ceremonial song, or the creation of sacred environments, I aim to uplift, transform, and share the gifts I have been fortunate to receive with others who feel the call.’
Tomek is a Plant Medicine Facilitator and Project Roots Coordinator with a focus on traditional Amazonian healing practices, Master Plant Dietas, and ceremonial music (Icaros). His path has been shaped by extensive apprenticeship with Shipibo Shamans in the Peruvian Amazon, where he learned both how to facilitate plant medicine ceremonies and how to work with the sacred technologies of traditional healing.
At Numinous Ways, Tomek coordinates retreats that offer participants direct contact with indigenous traditions, with an emphasis on respectful and responsible engagement. His work supports sustainable cultural exchange while contributing to the well-being and autonomy of partner communities.
His commitment extends beyond facilitation to wider sustainability efforts, including support for artisan projects, community initiatives, and the preservation of indigenous knowledge. Through this work, he seeks to bridge the wisdom of ancient traditions with those on a path of healing and reconnection, guided always by humility, service, and devotion to the Numinous.
