Hi all,
A little about myself: About 13 years ago, I ran in to a friend who handed me a bag filled with mushrooms. This started me on a journey that brought me into contact with the contents of my mind, as well as Peruvian ayahuasqueros, Huichol elders, the Lakota Sundance, and new age ayahuasca addicts.
Seeking wisdom, I looked for a cultural context for my mushroom journeys, and through a local shamanic teaching network, became friends with a Peruvian Yatiri (priest) who has led me and my family on true adventures, and has helped me provide a context for working with the plant medicines. I have vision quested in Mexico, worked extensively with the peyote and ayahuasca medicines, as well as other traditional Native ceremonies--inipi (sweat lodge) and sun dance.
I found this forum by accident some time ago, and have benefited from the support that the community offers. Besides offering a true forum for free speech, the members care about one another, and care about the metaphysical questions raised by journeying with these medicines. I would like to add to this network of support, and think that I have an interesting background and knowledge that may be of benefit to many here, and I know a great deal about the culture surrounding emerging ayahuasca churches in North America.
Peace to you all, and blessings to your families.
