Courses

Ayahuasca courses are in depth training programs in the Shipibo healing tradition of plant spirit medicine known as curanderismo.  By learning the core principles of the tradition, students can build a strong foundation to practice for the many years it takes to become a true maestro.

Ayahuasca Training Courses at the Ayahuasca soul quest help people who feel called to the healing path of ayahuasca find their way by offering authentic educational opportunities in a style that resonates with western learning models.  By presenting the Shipibo teachings as written texts and audio recordings, as well as lectures and workshops, the complex tradition can be understood more fully as it is experienced through powerful plant dietas and personal explorations of profound ceremonies and treatment processes.  Of course, spending one or two months in the jungle is not a lot of time, but it is enough to make significant progress in understanding the key principles of the indigenous paradigm and the Shipibo healing tradition.  It will take a lot of practice and continued diets to further develop those principles, but by having a strong foundation in the optimal methods of practice, that development and progress will be heightened and accelerated.

During the courses, participants attend ayahuasca ceremonies, do powerful plant dietas, and receive a variety of traditional plant remedies. They attend important lectures, participate in workshops, contribute in discussions and share in conversations.  There is also a great deal of learning that happens directly from their experiences with the plant medicines.  Ultimately, the courses are led by the spirits of the plants, assisted by Shipibo curanderos and their apprentices.
