Organisation
fees, river transport, food, accomodation and all activities, such as ceremonies, workshops and healing sessions whilst in the rainforest are ALL INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PRICE. Food, accomodation and transport costs to get yourself TO and FROM the BOATS, is NOT INCLUDED in the ticket price. You must organise getting to Rio Branco yourself, we'll take care of you from there. Unless you come via Cusco with your guide,in which case he'll guide you overland across the Peru-Brazil border to Rio Branco. Rio Branco is the closest city with an international airport. Cusco is cheaper to fly to, a lot more historic and has much better markets.
What you get! - The all inclusive trip of a lifetime. 8
days* on the river (5 in, 3 out),
12 days* living, working and playing with the Huni Kuin tribe in their
village. Clean drinking water from the recently installed well, food,
solar electricity
for lighting and charging devices, no mobile reception for 3 weeks!!!
(although sat-phones do work if you must), compost loos, showers (or
swim
and wash in the river, recommended) and moloko accommodations (wooden
huts on stilts) PLUS...
Ayahuasca ceremonies
most nights** alongside Rapé (true thought medicine, pronounced hapeh) and less frequently
Sananga (true sight medicine). 2 Kambo (frog medicine) ceremonies at the tribes most sacred Sauma tree (a short walk into the forest) followed by floral baths.
Possibly a Chilli Pepper (true voice activation medicine)
ceremony, other
ceremonies may be possible depending upon what is being suggested and by
whom.The senior shaman and elder medicine women from the neighbouring
territories of the Askaninka, Yawanawa and Shawadawa tribes will also be attending. Along with
assisting the Huni Kuin Chief Shaman Ninawa Pai da Mata during
ceremonies they will also be providing
individual and group healings throughout the festival. Ninawa Pai de
Mata is the tribes most talented and respected spiritual leader. The
medicine elected him leader and has given him the most incredible and
fundamentally powerful icaros (healing songs). Ninawa will normally be supported
and assisted by Txana Ikakuru. Txana delivers Rapé more powerfully than anyone I've ever experienced, he is a master with this medicine.
Alongside all the transformation and healing
ceremonies, there will also be trips into the jungle to collect the medicines and
learn about the forest and it's wildlife. Workshops to learn how to make the medicines, as well
as loads of dancing, singing and music around sacred fires as well as
storytelling relaying the histories, traditions and mythologies of the ancient
Huni Kuin culture who have been a tribe for over 10,000 years! They're
obviously doing something right, come and listen to them! Hear their knowledge
and wisdom. They know a lot more than us about living correctly as a society,
sustainably and in harmony with the natural environment. I guarantee this is a
trip you will never regret nor forget taking. It will absolutely elevate your
life! Make a commitment today, and deposit.
*times may vary depending on river and weather conditions. we are
visiting one of the most remote places on the planet. Mother nature
calls the shots.
**Everyone will be expected to take part and
drink a small amount of Ayahuasca during the Ayahuasca ceremonies. It's
tastes horrible, you may drink as little or as much as you wish but
under the direct guidance and supervision of the Shaman holding the
ceremonial space. The other plant medicines are optional. No-one will
force you to do anything against your wishes, however this is a medicine
festival and we are going to partake in medicine work, we can play
later during the day. The Chief Shaman will gauge how everyone is doing
and decide which
nights we will rest. Expect 8-10 ayahuasca ceremonies over the 12 days
in the Village.
About the Company and some notes on Responsibility and Safety... ILS
is the company facilitating and organising this trip in association
with the Eskawata Kayawai Festival organisers the shaman and the Huni
Kuin Tribe who live in the remote Amazon village of Novo Futuro. You can contact ILS through our Facebook page InspiredLS. ILS
will make available an experienced guide for
as long as you choose to stay with him. Your guide for this trip is
Stephen Ross, the ILS Chief.
Stephen
Ross ('Muru' is his Huni Kuin name) will provide you with support,
information and guidance leading up to, during and after the trip. He
will be on hand to help resolve any issues you
might run into and will take care of your general welfare to ensure you
are as comfortable and well looked after as is possible. You are
responsible for your own conduct,
behaviour and for yourself specifically. This isn't a club 18-30 trip to
Butlins or Ibiza. It'll be a lot more interesting and fun than Bultins
and a lot deeper and more intensely loving than most trips in Ibiza. It
may also be, at times, more difficult and uncomfortable than Butlins or Ibiza. We're going into the Jungle after all! This journey of personal and collective transformation is a full on
proper adventure into the Amazon Rainforest, to one of the most remote
villages on the entire planet. If you choose to act foolishly and ignore
the guidance and instructions intended to keep you safe we will not be
held responsible or liable for you getting eaten by a jaguar,
bitten by a snake or stung by a fish. Follow the guidance and instructions however and you will instead be both strengthened and enlightened.
The
village is safe and, so long as you are being
respectful, you can do pretty much whatever you like there. The river is
reasonably safe so long as you are sensible, there will be guidance
about river safety before we get on the boats. Never go
wandering into the Jungle on your own unless accompanied by an
experienced member of the tribe or your guide. How you
choose to get to Rio Branco in the first instance is your
responsibility. Rio Branco is the closest international airport and the Capital of the Acre region in Brazil. You may choose to travel and fly with your guide via
Cusco, Peru. If so he will be able to assist you the entire way from London
until you choose to return.
Some background information about your guide, Stephen Ross BSc.
Stephen
graduated from Edinburgh University in 1997 and spent almost 5 years
working within the pharmacuetical industry as a
project manager. He was intimately involved in designing and developing
novel solutions for early and clinical drug
development teams.
He
eventually realised that the company he was working for had been
behaving illegally. It was also actively engaged in suppressing
cureative medicines, shelving promising drug research, and abusing patent law. Pharmacuetical
companies prevent curative medicines coming to market to avoid loosing customers. If you cure a person of illness or dis-ease, they no longer need to take medicine. Curing disease might be good for people but it's bad for the pharmacuetical business.
Pushing drugs that relieve symptoms whilst also causing side effects is a much better business model. It's unethical and immoral but it earns Big Pharma £billions$ and £millions$ daily. There hasn't been a new cure for human dis-ease in a very
long time. Cures just aren't good for business, better to exploit and cripple the NHS instead.
Stephen
became very dis-illusioned about this so decided to try and quit
smoking to make himself feel better. He took a smoking cessation drug
(made by a competitor company) called
Zyban. Zyban was actually a well known anti-depressant in disguise. It
had a very different label and and an entirely different name. Stephen
didn't know he was actually taking a 'mild' antidepressant
called Welbutrin.
Had
he known this he might not have taken Zyban at all, but Zyban was all the rage at the time. Before taking
Zyban, Stephen was a fully functioning, arguably successful and healthy
business executive. The consequential side effects of taking Zyban lead
him to become clinically
depressed. He started smoking again about a year into the depression.
Nobdy seemed interested that Zyban had caused his depression
not even his doctors who simply suggested taking more antidepressants
to fix the problem which antidepressants had caused in the first place.
Stephen eventually
discovered a cure for himself in the Amazon. A psychadelic plant
medicine called Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca trips combined with 2 trips to the Amazon have permenently cured Stephen of
his depression, while at the same time expanding his creativity significantly. Stephen
was a poet before drinking Ayahuasca. The poem he wrote after taking just
one dose, The Ceremony, eventually won a competition which made him a Poet Laureate. His company Inspired Logistical Solutions offers hands on bespoke collaborative IT, logistics, and project management consultancy sercives including development, roll-out and implementation. If you can imagine it, ILS can manage, develop and deliver it, on your behalf, for you. Stephen is presently engaged as the Chief Solution Architect for best selling Author James Redfield's Celestine Vision. A vision derived, developed and continually unfolding as a direct result of his hugely popular first book, The Celestine Prophecy.
Stephen
has been working
with curative plant medicines for over 20 years and with Amazonian plant
medicines for 8 years. This will be his 3rd visit to the tribal village
of Novo
Futuro and he has spent almost a full year travelling throughout South
America generally. He eventually did quit smoking by using another
amazon plant medicine, the sacred shamanic snuff, Hape. Hape acts a a
nicotine replacement therapy and keeps his thoughts grounded and clear.

I was off delivering parcels for Amazon to the folks in Kings Norton in Birmingham so missed the Bewdley Sunset. It was dark by the time I finally rolled up onto Severn Side North. Fortunately Richard Lycett was on hand to capture the Solstice closing!! Thanks for letting me use your pic Richard. Much love. ♥♥♥
....and why it is a CURE for so many human ailments and planetary
conditions
Ayahuasca, also known as yage, the vine of the dead or Mother, is a psychedelic plant medicine
that works in human beings at many levels; physically; emotionally; mentally;
chemically; and maybe most importantly for our times spiritually. Ayahuasca is
a combination of the Ayahuasca vine and the Chacruna leaf. The leaf and the vine
are crushed up and boiled together to extract the active molecules within the
plants to make a foul tasting infusion or tea.
The leaf contains high concentrations of the
active psychedelic ingredient DMT (Di-Methyl Tryptamine). The Vine contains an
enzyme called MAOI (Mono Oxidase Inhibitor). The combination of the DMT and the
MAOI produce a magical psychedelic potion. When ingested in ceremony under the guidance
and direction of experienced plant medicine practitioners, called Shaman, Ayahuasca enables the ceremonial participant to re-tune and re-balance themselves back into harmony with their own divine nature, the natural
environment and natures intended natural world order.
DMT is produced naturally in most (if not
all) living organisms including human beings. It has been termed the ‘The
Spirit Molecule’ by Scientist Rick Strassman. I highly
recommend reading his book of
the same name or watching The Spirit Molecule documentary
on YouTube or below. Particularly so if you are not already personally familiar with the
effects of DMT or Ayahuasca. This should be considered mandatory research prior
to engaging in working with this miraculaous medicine.
DMT is produced in humans by the pineal
gland (located near the centre of our brains). The production of DMT is most
active in humans while asleep and dreaming. It appears to be involved in the
later stages of foetal development and it is also produced in the brain during the
death process. Strassman speculates that it is somehow part of the mechanism by
which conscious spirit enters and leaves the body enabling us to have a
conscious (or unconscious) life experience.
DMT is a short acting tryptamine which is
rapidly processed out of our bodies by the Mono Oxidase (MAO) enzyme. MAO is a
naturally occurring enzyme that
catalyses the oxidation of monoamines thus rendering them inert in vivo (in the
living organism) in a matter of 5-15 minutes. The Mono Oxidase Inhibitor within the Ayahuasca vine temporarily blocks
the Mono Oxidase enzyme within us. This allows DMT to remain active in vivo for
longer. Thus the combination of the vine and the leaf allows the DMT to work
over a longer time frame, usually 4 to 6 hours in humans. DMT is a Tryptamine with powerful
healing properties that is only just starting to be considered properly and examined
by western scientists. It continues to be discredited and shunned by governments
and Western medicine.
In the UK and most of the Western world DMT
is listed as a
hallucinogen under the Misuse of Drugs Act and is classified as a Class A drug.
It is therefore restricted and illegal in most first world countries where
people are prone to misusing drugs and medicines. Fortunately in the Second
World countries of the Amazon basin, Ayahuasca is much better understood and has
been used safely for several thousands of years. Although admittedly increasingly
less so by unscrupulous individuals succumbing to our Modern Culture of excess
which is based in greed, fear, control and power over others. Ayahuasca activates
and enables love, light and creativity to shine. Ayahuasca
is the Mother medicine. She activates and enables all the other plant medicines
used within the shamanic healing modalities, most prevalent amongst the
indigenous cultures of the Amazon Rainforest.
Ayahuasca
is properly considered by indigenous cultures to be the most powerful of planetary
medicines. The Huni Kuin people, and many other indigenous tribes, have been successfully
protecting their wisdom and traditions regarding correct use of this medicine for
over 10 thousand years, deep in the remote heart of the Amazon Rain forest.
They have recently been receiving visons from Ayahuasca, the Mother medicine, to
share their knowledge of this and their other plant medicines with the world.
I
used to work for Pfizer Research and Development, at the time it was the
largest and most profitable pharmaceutical company on the planet. Big Pharma
tends to go into the Amazon to find and emulate natural medicines to synthesise
chemical compounds that can be patented, owned and sold for huge profits. There
hasn’t been a cure released for human dis-ease in a long time. That is not to
say that cures have not been synthesised, they may well have been but instead
of being made available to the general population they are locked down and
hidden within private corporations and behind complicated patent laws. Big Pharma
has no interest in curing human dis-ease because doing so would destroy the
very markets that generate such huge profits for them. Don’t expect to find any
cures for human ailments coming out of the Pharmaceutical industry anytime soon.
They deal purely in relieving and masking symptoms to maximise drug sales. The indigenous
tribes of the Amazon have been working with this miraculous curative medicine
for many thousands of years. They consider it to be the most powerful and
sacred of medicines for purification of mind, body, spirit and soul. Huge profits
cannot be readily generated from naturally abundant and freely available plants
and so a process of disinformation and fear was initiated over 100 years ago to
discredit natural remedies and plant medicines.
The first
world is very arrogant. This is evidenced by our Western Society claiming and
naming itself ‘The First World’. We somehow did this despite our modern culture
being objectively ‘the new kid on the block’. Modern Western culture is in
truth the latest world. Yet more and more people in the so called first world
are gradually coming to realise they have a problem, an empty restlessness. Something
that the second and third worlds have known about us for a long time, the first
world has a dis-ease.
More
and more people are becoming aware of their own dis-ease. Becoming aware of the
potentially huge benefits of plant medicines like Ayahuasca and Cannabis, to
human health and the health of the planet. Due in part to the efforts of established
and respected scientists and researchers like Rick Strassman who are not solely
dependent on private corporations with vested interests for their funding.
Fear,
dis-ease and trauma has been prevalent in the world for some considerable
amount of time. This has lead humanity away from healthily and harmonious function.
Away from most of us being well balanced and in tune within
ourselves subjectively and objectively within our natural environment. This by consequence
has created a modern culture with a very strong desire toward control over
environment, greed (for fear of lack) and power over that which we consider
other than ourselves. The balance is badly out of whack as evidenced by the gross inequality we see in the world today. Ayahuasca is a CURE, Ayahuasca can cure us individually and collectively. It helps develop patience in patients and enables us
to find healthy alignment within ourselves so that the desire to power, greed
or control over our environment and others relaxes and dissolves.
If enough
people drink Ayahuasca and do the inner work, inequity and inequality will gradually
fade away and eventually disappear entirely. It is safe within a properly
supervised clinical context but is not especially effective as yet, although
this is changing. Timothy
Leary and Stanislav
Grof have made great strides in developing safe and effective clinical healing
modalities with psychedelic plant medicines. Psychadelic plant medicines are freely available in every
country of the world, you must just step outside into nature and look. How to
effectively apply psychedelics for healing has been apparently lost to the West
and in the UK the magic mushroom is used primarily as a recreational drug
purely for it’s hallucinations and weird experiences. However recent clinical research is indicating
hugely positive benefits for people with anxiety and depression that are simply two of the multitude of symptoms of our modern cultural dis-ease.
If used
properly in a ceremonial context I have no doubt magic mushrooms and truffles
can be as effective to re-tune and re-balance us in relation to ourselves and
our environments as Ayahuasca is. The European Shamanic traditions however appear to have been
lost and so they must be remembered and recovered. Ayahuasca is the Mother
medicine, you can ask her questions and she will provide answers. She unlocks
the downloads and provides the keys to understanding the coding stored in our
very DNA. To decode the messaging contained within the DNA of all the sacred plants and medicines that decorate the entire face of the planet.
It is at present only
safe and effective to use Ayahuasca within a sacred ceremonial context and only
with a properly experienced and well journeyed Shaman.
This is why I am inviting a very limited number of spiritually aware and active curative medicine seekers to come and join me as I lead our group, from the UK, to the fifth annual Eskawata Kayawai Festival of Transformation and Healing, 17th - 28th of November 2018 hosted by the remote Huni Kuin Village of Novo Futuro in the Acre Region of the Brazilian Amazon. Are you feeling the Amazon Calling? Will you answer her call?...
