  • 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…

  • Midnight Special

    I like science fiction. I am aware that, for many, this is the one genre which they are not prepared to tolerate but you can blame ‘Star Wars’ for my infatuation. In fact, I suspect that my entire love of cinema is born out of that first film’s glorious opening moment, as the Star Destroyer…

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…
