  • Solar Practices

    These are the instructions on how to perform some of the Incan ‘solar practices’, as taught by the great shaman and chacaruna, Jorge Luis Delgado, on the ‘Inca Cosmovision’ experience in Denmark (see my previous blog, link is here: ‘Inca Cosmovision, Denmark’). I have adapted these processes from Jorge Luis’ own notes and I thank…

  • Inca Cosmovision, Denmark

    The chance to hear Jorge Luis Delgado speak was too good an opportunity to miss and the fact that my friend and fellow shaman, Debbie Tregloan, was hosting the event in Denmark, a country I had long wanted to visit, was the icing on the cake. So, my partner, Dan, & I headed off to…

  • Embrace of The Serpent

    ‘Embrace of the Serpent’ is a film about the Amazonian shaman, Karamkate, who travels the river, forty years apart, with two separate German ethnologists, searching for the mysterious and psychedelic Yakruna plant.

  • Ayahuasca

    It is a common misconception that shamans around the world make use of mind-altering substances to ‘journey’ (see my previous post, ‘How to journey’). Whilst some do, it’s worth noting that the majority do not. Entering an altered state is perfectly possible to achieve through setting your intention and visualising. And what is the best…

  • Once a conquistador

    I do not know if past lives exist and I do not seek, in this article, to persuade you that they do, I merely seek to tell you about a recent ‘connection’ I experienced with another soul. I can offer you no name or concrete evidence of this particular soul ever having existed, so you…

  • Beautiful

    After all the healing shamanic work I had done and after my wonderful visit to Peru in May 2015, I thought that I was much happier ‘in myself’ but, last November, as I approached my 42nd birthday, I faced the painful realisation that I had let the exercise and the healthy eating slide – I…

  • Icelandic Revelations

    As I recorded in my post on the Glastonbury Munay-Ki, I felt a surprisingly strong ‘call’ that I should visit Iceland.

  • Summer Solstice Retreat Algarve: 16th June – 23rd June 2016

    Summer Solstice Retreat Algarve: 16th June – 23rd June 2016

    As I have previously mentioned in posts on this site, I have been planning a Munay-Ki retreat in the Algarve for some time now and, thus, it is with great pleasure that I can finally announce the details for this wonderful adventure – I really hope that you can join me! Our time will be…

  • Peru 2015 Photobook

    Peru 2015 Photobook

    Together with the publishing company, Blurb, I’ve produced a really beautiful coffee table book of more than 100 of my photographs from the Spirit of the Inca trip to Peru (with a few photos, with her permission, from my talented friend, Nay Aoun). You can see some of the photographs on this site and read…

  • Munay-Ki Glastonbury 2015

    Munay-Ki Glastonbury 2015

    In September, 2015, I attended the Spirit of the Inca’s training course in the Munay-Ki at Glastonbury. I had received the Munay-Ki rites during the Spirit of the Inca’s ‘Medicine Wheel’ course and, again, whilst in Peru but the Glastonbury course was to teach me more about the initiations, as well as the processes by…
