FAQ
Taking the opportunity to commune once again with the Amazon Jungle and her many medicines. From the trees and roots and leaves that create healing for so many ailments.
I have found a communion with nature from the first time I set foot in the jungle. Each journey is different than the ones before, but in each one, I find opportunity for deeper communion.There is a transformation that comes from coming into stillness with the jungle, listening to her messages, and learning from the life all around you.
