About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Jim is an experienced and compassionate sacred plant medicine facilitator, who had his first experience with ayahuasca in 2000 in Peru.
Fast forward to 2007, Jim began his training in facilitating ayahuasca ceremony. He worked closely under his maestro and mentor Michael Sonn, of Mahua family lineage —with its great master teachers like Don Solon Tello—as well as maestros from the Shipibo lineage, including Antonio Munoz Diaz, Benjamin and Pancho Mahua, Luzmilla Mori and Maximo Lomas Vela. Jim sat with ayahuasca over 300 times during his 3.5 year apprenticeship with Michael, and gained a wealth of experience in holding space and energy work.

Jim has served medicine as the founder of Shanti Wasi Medicine Nights for over 14 years, supporting hundreds of clients through their sacred medicine journey. He offers a uniquely wholesome and compassionate space for everyone to learn, grow, and evolve together.

My guide, my teacher, my brother
If you know Jim then you already know. If you don’t, I will tell you. Jim is truly a unique individual with an endearing vision. His heart combines with his knowledge to create a comfortable environment that makes the plant medicine journey as comfortable and effective as possible. I felt safe, protected, and cared for from the time of arrival and even after my departure. Jim does so much work to help his community, the plant medicine community, and those who are involved with the vision. I will definitely see Jim again, and I can’t wait.

Great Ceremony
I really enjoyed this retreat! Jim is a great ceremony leader. There couldn't be a more perfect setting in which to do ayahuasca. Everyone was great- from the ceremony leaders to the helpers and musicians. I feel great after doing the ceremonies, and all the participants were very nice and supportive. It is really cool how there is so much wildlife at the ecolodge. What really made this retreat for me was the incredible music that was played during the ceremonies. I would highly recommend this.
