You can heal your inner world as you work to heal the outer world, and the ancient wisdom practices of shamanism offer a powerful means of doing it.

RANDY CHUNG GONZALES was initiated by disembodied spirits into shamanic knowledge and power during an ayahuasca shamanic ceremony in 2016. Such initiations by spirits are extremely rare, the most common method being initiation by an embodied, living shaman. Since then he has been given powers by other indigenous spirits, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and other sacred beings. He directs a retreat-cum-ecological workshop center — called in English “The Place of the Sacred Mountain,” because it faces the mountain sacred to the local indigenous people, the Kichwa-Lamistas — located in the forest near the Sachamama Center for Biocultural Regeneration in Lamas, Peru, where he is from. He is also a painter and a self-taught architect.

FRÉDÉRIQUE APFFEL-MARGLIN, PhD, is Professor Emerita, Dept. of Anthropology at Smith College and founded Sachamama Center for Biocultural Regeneration in the Peruvian Upper Amazon, which she directs, in 2009. She has spent years in India and Peru working with indigenous peoples and with farmers. She has authored or edited 15 books, including Subversive Spiritualities: How Rituals Enact the World, and published some 70 articles and book chapters.

An extraordinary opportunity to work with a native Peruvian shaman and curandero near to home, at The Rowe Center in Rowe, Massachusetts. Shamanic Healing for the Interior and Exterior Landscape will be a deeply personal experience where you will learn how plants, trees, waters, and mountains manifest agency via their spirits and the importance of experiencing such spirits for developing a caring and sustaining relationship with the non-human world of nature.
