Howard Charing

Since the late 90's I have organised journeys to the Amazon Rainforest and the Andes to work with the shamans and the sacred 'jungle doctors' (healing and visionary plants) of this area. I have written numerous articles about the Amazonian plant medicines, and have worked with some of the most respected shamans in the region. I was baptised into their tribe by the Shipibo Indians in the Amazon, and was initiated into the lineage of the maestros of the Rio Napo in the Upper Amazon.

My book Plant Spirit Shamanism is published by Destiny Books (USA) with a foreword by the great visionary artist Pablo Amaringo.
