"If you do not ask yourself "why in the world have I come here?" at least once then perhaps you have not fully engaged the profound effect that ayahuasca, Peru and Michael will have on you " -Wayne Ayers Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

We are offering a no hype, unscripted experience with the Shipibo of the Peruvian Amazon. The Shipibos welcome you to come experience their culture in their home. We will be spending our time in and outside the city of Pucallpa and then travel on the river to a Shipibo village where we will be enveloped in their way of life. Individuals should be prepared for an experience of 'roughing it', our expedition is intended to push individual boundaries in all areas of life. The itinerary is spontaneous in order to provide the best possible experience in the moment. We will be participating in many Ayahuasca rituals. I welcome all questions and encourage you to contact me should you need more information.

"It's difficult to recommend programs these days as most are what I refer to as "boutique shamanism". However, Amazon Medicinals let's you get your teeth into the jungle and brings you a very real experience. I'm behind them completely."

Shipibo Expeditions
Greetings,
I am pleased to formally extend this invitation to come explore yourself, our planet, and the Peruvian and Shipibo cultures in the heart of the Amazon.
These expeditions are not for the average tourist, yet if you are seeking new experiences, foods and medicines this is your opportunity. Our journeys are intended to provide a real view and experience of ancient Shamanism in its modern living context, and to expose participants to an overall broadening experience. We will work with a variety of Shipibo Onayas (Shamans), in order to provide participants with a panoramic view of style and practice in the Shipibo world of Ayahuasca. This journey will expose you to Indigenous healing practices as they exist today.
I aim to diligently guide you through the various trepidations of life in the jungle. Participants will be carefully chosen in order to provide a harmonious and complementary experience for all parties involved. The jungle is wild, spontaneous and unpredictable, our journey will reflect this living design. This is my life, my passion and love.
Regards,
Michael Sonn
