The discovery of a cache of prehistoric flutes suggests that music soothed the savage beast in early man as far back as 35,000 years ago.

Wisdom Keeper of The Month

Pablo Amaringo

A native to the Peruvian Amazon, he was first exposed to ayahuasca at the age of ten. A severe heart illness, along with the treatment of ayahuasca, led Pablo toward the life of a shaman. Eventually, after learning the icaros (healing songs) he became a powerful curandero.
Abandoning his vocation as a shaman, Pablo devoted himself to painting ayahuasca visions in 1977. His books, teachings, and seminars soon became a major force in spreading this plant medicine in the West. Currently, he teaches the art of painting at the Usko-Ayar school to students, free of charge.

After an enlightening ceremony, Tindall’s journey reveals the crucial component missing from the metaphysics of the West: the understanding and appreciation of the sentience of nature itself.
