Shaun has been working with plant-based entheogens for well over a decade. He began his journey seeking self-healing through every modality he came across for 8 years prior to working with entheogens. Some of the modalities that aided him on his quest for healing were Yoga, EFT, Energy work & Clairvoyant training, traditional & non-traditional therapy, acting class & improv, NLP, Inner (child) Work, Archetype exploration, Watsu, sound/theta/alpha healing. As helpful as this foundational work was none of it was as profoundly healing as when he sat with Ayahuasca. This began his deepest self-exploration and facilitated the healing of deeply root traumas, even uncovering a key situation he didn’t realize was part of his life that needed to be healed.
Numerous travels to the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon jungle have taught him the ways of the indigenous tribes & traditions. Immersive dietas with Master Plant teachers have enabled him to learn from & build relationships with the Sacred plant spirits directly, as is the indigenous custom. Shaun has primarily studied in the Shipibo tradition & also studied the Brazilian ways of shamanism.

"I am called to work with those that will dive in with me to do the work. I love to work with people that will allow their vulnerabilities and challenges to come up so that they can be met with Love.This work isn’t for those that just want an experience, escape or ‘trip’. This work is sacred to me and dear to my heart; I put a lot of energy into making healing available with the Medicines I work with. I am called to work with those that truly want to be healed and are committed to doing & Being what is needed in Ceremony for this to happen. As well as Being & doing what is needed to prepare and integrate the work. Preparation & Integration are a process to be honored daily that enable the work done in Ceremony to unfold into a new way of Being.
Honoring the traditional sacred containers I hold and maintaining reverence for the process of whatever unfolds throughout Ceremony is paramount. Everything prior to, during and after Ceremony is part of the Ceremonial process and is an opportunity for growth. The plants work in this Divine way of supporting us through our process with unconditional love and compassion. Along with how they orchestrate the details around our entire process to unfold with grace, even if it’s challenging to experience or acknowledge at times."
