The level of experience we have as a combined team of Ayahuasca and San Pedro shamans equals over 100 years. We work together as an incredibly harmonious fusion of two different shamanic paths, Ayahuasca and San Pedro. Our focus is to help everyone we can to the best of our ability. It is amazing how some of the ceremonies can last until almost sunrise when everyone’s shamanic treatment is finished.
