You will participate in 2 evening Ayahuasca ceremonies, individual private sessions, and additional healing rituals, including flower baths, under the guidance of jungle shaman and Ayahuasquero Jauriman Garcia. In order to join us for this transformative expedition, four shamanic energy healing sessions with Mimi Jocson must be completed prior to the Amazon trip.
