Ive organised a Shamanic Adventure into Peru

Dean — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:07:17 GMT

Hi,
Its Dean Jefferys here, the filmmaker who made the Shamans of the Amazon DVD.

Since I organised the last Shamanic Adventure into Peru and Machu Picchu in 2004 amongst other things, I have been working solidly to help the whales and dolphins swim free. I will be crossing the pacific to go to the International Whaling commission meeting in Chile in June to try to help the whales and dolphins and thought this was a good opportunity to organise another Shamanic Adventure into Peru. Read the reports from my last trip and get more info about the trip at http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com. This trip also fits in with The Fourth International Amazonian Shamanism Conference: Magic, Myths & Miracles, Iquitos, Peru July 19th-27th, 2008 see http://www.soga-del-alma.org/ConferenceSite/

So I am organising some shamanic trip options for those who may want to join me and have a direct experience with Ayahuasca, San pedro, the mountains, the jungle the shamans and everything else. You can't go to Peru without visiting the Sacred valley and Machu Picchu region. I have meet a strong shaman named Sayre who lives in the Sacred valley to facilitate the journey. Sayre is a descendant from the Incas. We ran an amazing tour together in 2004. see a short clip I made of that trip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oI-PSBxa50 Also see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4ru3z0OtXE&NR=1

We have put together a great journey visiting many of the sacred sites in the Sacred valley and Sayre will run many San Pedro and Ayahuasca ceremonies throughout the 16 day trip around the Sacred valley and Pulcalpa in the Amazon jungle, from the 3rd of July to the 18th of July. In Pulcalpa we live and drink with the Shipibo people and shaman until the start of the conference on the 19th of July. See itinary. http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com/journey2.htm For more information about the Shipibo and the work Sayre is doing with them see http://web.iapicc.org/. and http://www.weaversofwisdom.org/index.php?id1=projects&id2=shipibo

I will also be staying on in the Iquitos region after the Shamanic conference for a week and visiting an Ayahuascaro shaman to do more ceremony. You may wish to also attend the conference ( you have to organise and pay for the conference seperately) and if you want to spend more time in Peru with the medicine join me before and / or after the conference. The Sacred valley, Machu Picchu, Pulcalpa trip is $2400 USD for the 16 days and 15 nights. Which works out at $160 pr night. It will be a jammed pact shamanic adventure, not for the light hearted.

Once you arrive in Cusco everything including sessions will be paid and catered for. Internal flights though will need to be paid by you. If you want to join me just for the amazon leg after the conference I have organised a 7 day 6 night amazon shamanic adventure it will be $780 = $130 pr day. Again everything will be catered for including aya sessions. We will be going to see Percy Garcia. He has been working with medicinal plants for over 25 years since he was 12 years old. Percy has excellent ayahuasca and he is a very very humble man. He has private cabins as well as his maloca, everything is screened in. The maloca was built over a small river, really nice. He is about 48 kilometers outside of Iquitos. We should get 2 or 3 ayahuasca sessions in, in that time. He has lots of information about medicinal plant of the jungle he will share with us and take us to some special places in the amazon Jungle. We will also learn how to prepare the sacred brew.

As this journey starts in only 6 weeks I need to get numbers sorted out and confirmed asap. I will only have maximum 12 people on each trip so first in with the deposit will be ensured a position. So if you are interested you need to pay 25% of the trips deposit to me by the end of May or asap. The balance can be paid when we meet in Peru. So if you are joining me from the 3rd till the 18th a total of 16 days 15 night its $2400 USD . 25% = $600 usd Or if you are just joining me for 7 days 6 nights of the Iqutos section, 25% of $780 = $195 deposit. If you are paying with paypal rather than bank transfer add 4%

Also I want to let you know that I have just released a new DVD which includes all my Shamanic stuff. Its a 3 DVD Boxed set and includes some classic extra clips from the cutting room floor. Its 332 mins of running time. Its for sale from my http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com/sales.htm website.I ll be shooting another doco on the trip and may be doing some live internet streaming of both conferences in SA from my still to be built Online TV website. Ill let you know when it happens.

Also Im am planning three, 10 day retreats called "Diving into whale conciousness" in Tonga on a small tropical island in the middle of the pacific ocean, starting mid August. Tonga is one of 3 locations on the globe where humans can legally swim with whales and the humpbacks come here to breed and play from July to October. see http://www.malaislandresort.com/ for a taste of what im organising there. It will be around $2500 for 10 days with the whales.

If for some strange reason I dont get the numbers for the trip your deposit will be refunded 100% If you pull out half your deposit will disappear into another dimension. If you are interested please respond expressing your interest and I will put you on a special email list that I will send out more info to you. If you have any friends who you feel may be interested in one of these trips feel free to pass this web address onto them. Likewise if you or a friend has a related shamanic type website that may wish to swap web links feel free to pass this one onto them or contact me. If you are on my email list and someone you recommend this trip to, comes on the trip, you can recieve $50 aud and a free 3 DVD boxed set of "Shamans of the Amazon" For more details, photos and reports from the last trip see other pages on my website. http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com
Also see a 8 minute clip of "Shamans of the Amazon" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NZpOXj6u78

I hope to be at both the International Whaling commission and the The Fourth International Amazonian Shamanism Conference with My http://www.Planetearthinternettv.com to do live interactive internet streaming of the events and all that happens around it. Including run downs of the days events and interviews with delegates and activists. Its not up yet but check it in a week or so. And stay tuned.

Great outcome for Ayahuasca court case in Australia. 6th-08-05

Great outcome for Ayahuasca court case in Australia. 6th-08-05

Those who have been following Darpans court case in Australia over the last 12 months will be very happy about the outcome in the Lismore local court yesterdays. Australian, Darpan jumped on by a 7 car drug squad with dogs guns the works. was originally charged with Importing Prohibited Narcotics , namely DMT and Harmine. He was also charged with dealing a schedule one substance. He was put on $100,000 bail. and spent 3 days locked up. He was looking down the barrel of 10 to 20 years in Jail. The Lawyer said before the hearing 99.9% of people charged with what he had been would go straight to jail, no questions asked. Then the magic started to happen. Was it the plants or the spirits that work with the plants or maybe the focused beems of love? who Knows. but for some strange reason the police prosecutors started dropping the charges. Sure it was only a bottle of ayahuasca, a shamanic potion of 2 amazon plants used for millennia for all sorts of positive reasons. It was not a white powder made in a laboratory for financial gain.

As we sat breathless while the magistrate read Darpans "glowing" references and we beamed him love I could see he was starting to get what this was really about. The Magistrate virtually apologised for the ordeal that such a well respected community man as he, had to endure since his arrest. He said there would be NO FINE AND NO RECORDED CONVICTION. HIS ONLY PUNISHMENT WAS A 2 YEAR GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND. People usually get more than that just for being caught with Pot.

So what does this mean for Ayahuasca use in OZ? or importing aya? Its still technically illegal but a precedent has been set that makes the punishment for importing and even use, fairly unimportant as far as the law goes. Yet the High court in the USA recently intervened to keep Ayahuasca illegal. So what is the big difference between USA and OZ. Who Knows??

PS
Darpan is just about to release an amazing double cd called Madre Ayahuasca in around 2 weeks. Its Sacred journey music, excellent for sessions, featuring Darpan on vocals, harmonix and crystal bowl beautifully supported by Bhakta’s music and production. This album takes you on a healing journey from the shamans in South America, into the depth of overtones and sacred sounds, ancient Indian mantras, and healing songs. It also features Amir and Avishai from the globally loved band “Sheva”, on Santur, Turkish clarinet and Bansuri. You can help contribute to his court costs and get an amazing aya CD. It can be ordered now from my site at http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com/sales.htm for $19.95. US or $27 (Australian)
