It all started when...

In 2010 Nick began working in the Peruvian Amazon as a writer and filmmaker for the Crees Foundation - a non profit working to conserve the Amazon. He spent 2 years living in the Amazon, working with locals and learning about rainforest traditions and history. 7 years later Nick continues to return to Peru every year and has found Ayahuasca to be deeply healing and  enlightening experience. He has taken Ayahuasca with Amazon Awakening' Curandero - Juanmanuel since 2010 and has formed a strong friendship with him over the years. 

Juanma

JuanManuel Redondo was Born in Malaga Spain though he has been living in Peru for over 20 years. He has studied with various Peruvian Curanderos, including Shipibo. Originallly trained as a carpenter, the father of 3 has a unique approach to his ceremonies, incorporating ancient wisdom, deep insight, a caring nature and lots of humour. After working with numerous Shaman over the years, we feel Juanma is by far the best.  

Kim

Kim Cruz has worked in the Amazon since 2015 and has studied Yoga in Thailand. She has experienced a deep healing through Ayahuasca and feels the plant can heal physically and spiritually. She is deeply caring and a lover of nature and especially the rainforest. She will help guide and assist in ceremonies through the week.
