Amazonian Shamanism: The Ayahuasca Experience


Pages: 13 - 19

Abstract

Torn Pinkson is a psychologist and business consultant who has incorporated the classic teachings of shamanism in his work. He has traveled as far as Bali, Peru and the Andes mountains, as well as throughout the Americas, in search of the "deeper vision." He recently completed an eleven year apprenticeship with Huichol shamans in Mexico, including a bull ceremony, to become a mara akame, a shaman. The following article details Torn Pinkson's work with the psychedelic plant teacher Ayahuasca while studying with Peruvian shamans and healers. Dr. Pinkson's ability to draw these lessons into his therapeutic practice and daily life present a poignant, heartfelt look at psychedelic vision questing.
