Carlos Tanner is an apprentice to the curandero don Juan. He lives with him and his family and study the science of plant spirit medicine. They run a healing retreat program that also offers two educational courses each year. It is their hope and dream to return the spirit to the reality of the civilized world so that it may guide us once again, and bring us back from the brink of destruction to a peaceful harmony with all things. ONCE WE HEAL OURSELVES WE CAN HEAL THE WORLD.
Carlos began studying with don Juan in January of 2004. After four year of living together in Iquitos, where they ran a healing retreat program called AYAHUAYRA, Spirit of the Wind, he has now begun to work with other curanderos and have begun the Ayahuasca Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to protect and preserve the sacred wisdom of plant spirit medicine in the Amazon Rainforest. He runs a six week initiation course in the spring and fall each year to introduce potential students to the study of curanderismo, and have put together the Amazon Curandero Seminar, a nine day event featuring five local curanderos leading workshops and holding ceremonies demonstrating the various aspects of healing traditions practiced here in the Amazon Rainforest. For Carlos this is a tremendously fulfilling life and he has never been happier in his life.
