Shamanism & Sacred Journeys in Peru

The Four Gates Foundation offers inspirational workshops and events to bring healing and empowerment, greater self-awareness and wonder into your life - and to get you back in touch with your soul!

Courses include workshops in shamanism, sin eating, shamanic healing, soul retrieval, plant spirit shamanism, and introductions to ayahuasca, San Pedro and other teacher plants. The Foundation also offers one-year shamanic practitioner training courses, home study programmes, and can make healing appointments for you in the UK and internationally.

Sacred Journeys in Peru

Sacred journeys are also offered to work with indigenous shamans and healers. These include The Magical Earth Amazon Adventure, a 14-day ayahuasca and plant spirit shamanism journey to the Amazon Rainforest which could - literally - change your life - and literally has for others.

Focussed on healing and self-exploration, the event offers seven ayahuasca ceremonies with the “vine of souls”, as well as jungle walks to meet the spirits of the plants, the opportunity to diet on particular plants and absorb their curative powers, workshops on shamanism and plant magic, and the chance to work with expert shamans of the plant spirit tradition and receive one-to-one consultations and healings from them.

Also included are flower, herbal, and clay baths to restore balance to the soul, and for “flourishing”: good luck and success, introductions to healing and the wisdom of the plants and shamanic practices in seminars led by Ross Heaven, author of the best-selling book, Plant Spirit Shamanism, and jungle-style saunas for purification. All you really need do is be open to the magic and the changes it might bring to your life!

The Cactus of Vision Journey

This trip is a separate magical experience of Andean shamanism, using the methods, plants, and approaches that have been practiced in this region for thousands of years. Accommodation is close to the heart of Cusco - the “centre of the world” - so you can enjoy Peru and its culture as well as its magic and medicine.

The programme includes authentic San Pedro ceremonies with the visionary cactus, led by Andean shamans; limpia: an Andean healing method for cleansing and rebalancing the spiritual body through the removal of unhelpful energies; pago: an offering to the spirits of the land and a blessing for those who take part; coca leaf divination using the leaves of the sacred coca plant to produce a picture of a person’s life - and sometimes past lives; and seminars and circle meetings with Ross to discuss your San Pedro insights and provide you with background to Andean shamanism to enhance your understanding of this healing tradition.

Highlights of Magical Earth & Cactus of Vision Journeys to Peru

Enjoy a youtube video of highlights from the Four gates Foundation 2008 Magical Earth (ayahuasca) and Cactus of Vision (San Pedro) journeys to Peru. This video was created by Simon Robinson, a 2008 trip participant.  It has a great soundtrack too.

I also suggest that a sacred space is wherever your intent makes it so.
