About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Gwendal is a traditional healer, initiated as a Curandero and Tabaquero, with over 13 years of experience working with the sacred plant medicines of the Amazon. His journey began with a transformative encounter with a tobacco shaman in Vanuatu, which led him to apprentice under Maestra Olivia Arevalo (Shipibo lineage) and later deepen his training with Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres (Mamancunawa lineage).
In addition to his plant medicine work, Gwendal is a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner, trained under Danny Paradise and refined in India and Indonesia. He also integrates sound healing—blending Mongolian throat singing and shamanic drumming—to enhance the energetic process of transformation.
Gwendal’s spiritual journey continues to deepen through his connection to plants, the Earth, and ancestral teachings. He is devoted to honoring the sacred wisdom of plant medicines and offering their transformative power to others.
