Benoit

My name is Benoit, I am 43 years old, and I have spent 11 years of my life immersed in the Shipibo-Conibo culture in the jungles of Peru, seeking spiritual knowledge and the last 4 years with bufo and Peyote shamans.

Disenchanted with Western materialistic culture, I chose to look for an answer that came from the Earth, from the plants, and from the sacred knowledge contained within the indigenous traditions of the Amazon jungle.

From the time I left my home in France in 2008, I have lived with some of the most respected ayahuasca shamans of the Upper Amazon. I have been drinking the ayahuasca brew for years with them, multiple times a week in ceremonies almost with no interruption. In the same tradition as my Shipibo-Conibo teachers, I have learned this ancient, sacred medicine path directly from the plants and trees; having spent more than 2 years in isolation totally alone in the jungle drinking master plants. From dreams to reality, I have strived to learn some of the sacred knowledge of spiritual re-connection from the plants. Now, I want to share that knowledge with you.

I also share Bufo Alvarius with 1 year training with the President of the Bufo Alvarius Association of Mexico city and I am also a Peyote path walker for the last 4 years. I have been directly at the encounter of those authentic shamans in the Sonoran and Warikuta deserts of Mexico.
