A NOTE FROM JERRY: During our time together in the Amazon there will be time for group discussions about your experiences and questions you have on any subject. Usually, after dinner each night, we have found this is the opportune time to gather for group discussions. Keep in mind, you might need time to yourselves to rest and reflect inwardly about your experiences. There is no requirement for you to join group discussions. This is available as time, and your ability to join us, permits. Remember, this is your journey. I wait for you to ask. I never impose myself on others. What is it like at the lodge? There are virtually no man-made noises to distract you. The air is clean and pure. There are no cell phone towers or microwave emitters. There is only the earth, the plants and the creatures who reside here. It's the perfect place to graduate into the next level of your personal journey towards God. If you've seen the movie "The Celestine Prophecy" you know exactly what I mean. As time and circumstances permit, Kathy & I will share what we know to help you along this path of light. Regarding private healing sessions with me: Yes, I am available as time permits. I've discovered from many years of staying here for weeks at a time that my gift works remarkably well in this environment. It is not common knowledge that most of those I have worked with here have recovered nicely. Being at the lodge affords me the opportunity to work with you during our stay. This is something most of my clients never have access to. Finally, if you are interested in the Ayahuasca ceremony I have selected a master for you to work with. He is someone I have grown to know and trust to be sincere in his work. Because of this relationship I trust him. If you are unsure or concerned I can only tell you I have taken part in t he ritual many times as has Kathy and our son Bryce, who started working with shamen at the age of 14. Knowledge is power. I suggest you read "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby for a scientific understanding. There is no requirement, judgment or pressure to participate if you are opposed to this, or simply do not want to join the ceremony. This voyage into the Amazon is not strictly about journeying with a shaman. The jungle is full of beauty and wonder, rain falling and wind in the trees.Many who come here never seek out or experience the metaphysical aspects. They are only here for the thrill of being in a jungle. And that's quite a thrill if you have never experienced it.

Important note If you arrive early on November 30th, you might want to relax in a hotel. Please let us know and a suitable lodging will be suggested. It will be your responsibility to hire transportation from the airport (very easy and inexpensive), and pay for these lodgings once you arrive. A detailed map and full instructions will be provided.
Once we arrive to Iquitos we are met by our Jungle guides and Shaman. From the airport we head by private bus to the Amazon port of Bella Vista, and our speed boat.

We are welcomed to the lodge with fresh fruit drinks and a quick orientation. Afterwards, you are shown to your rooms where your luggage is waiting. The rooms are each equipped with items rarely experienced in the jungle. Hot and cold running water for showers (hot isn't always working), satellite TV and king sized beds. Mosquito screening over windows and drapes complete the experience into a safe relaxing atmosphere you are comfortable within. Dinner is served at approximately 7pm. Later, after dinner, we meet with our Shaman for orientation and an explanation of the Ayahuasca ceremony offered to those interested in participating the next evening. Please read "The Sacred Ceremonies" section for a complete description of this activity. Here is a short video about Ayahuasca |

December 2nd After eating a guided hike into the Rainforest i s offered. During this walk about you are shown many different plants Shamen use to brew Ayahuasca or make their potent jungle medicines. Jungle Shamen are highly skilled practitioners and artful herbal masters whose information is verbally handed down from generation to generation. During the afternoon you are free to relax while listening to birds, canoe the jungle river, or hike trails deeper into the Amazon with an experienced guide. To relax and tune into your surroundings, or venture into the living jungle begins a process expanding your awareness and intensifying your consciousness. For those interested, the first session with our Shaman is offered later this evening.

December 3rd
Day 3 Amazon Rainforest Lodge A free day to explore the surrounding jungle, visit nearby jungle communities or just relax! After breakfast we will be free to explore the surrounding jungle and reflect upon our experiences. After lunch a guided hike into the jungle is offered. Later, we will return to our lodge and stay another night under this beautiful green canopy sprinkled with stars. Our first initiation completed, we are ready to begin our second initiation. For those interested, the next Shaman session is offered.

 |
After a light dinner (and about 9pm) we again gather to journey with the Shaman and Ayahuasca. Usually, this is a powerful evening to experience. Your prayers and intentions have been added to the Ayahuasca as a group. During the ceremony deep memories and visions remind you of your connection to the Earth and all its numerous inhabitants. This is an evening of spiritual communication you might have never before experienced. If all goes as intended you will understand group consciousness and energetic connections which have been dormant within you.
|
In the evening - for those interested - the next Ayahuasca journey is offered. For those who do not participate, an evening meditation is offered.

|
Tonight you are provided a final opportunity to journey. Empowered and knowledgeable, you reach outward towards the glistening stars... and inwards towards greater self discovery. |
Once in Iquitos we stop for brief shopping at the town square before continuing on to the airport. We leave late afternoon for Lima and our flight home. Our journey completed, we return to Lima and our awaiting flights home... We arrive back to Lima (usually) about 9pm. If you are flying home at the end of this trip your flight should be scheduled for departure after 11pm December 8th or early morning (after 12:01am) December 9th. Let us know if you wanted to include shopping and sightseeing in Lima. You will need to reserve lodging and personal services during the time you spend in Lima, especially if you decide to leave after December 8th. We can easily help you with this.
