Arturo connected with the teachings of Diego Palma and his assistant Jean Pierre. Later, Arturo became Jean Pierre apprentice helping him with many ceremonies. As Jean Pierre pursued his own path sharing Ayahuasca with the world. Arturo felt connected with his work, medicine music and followed his lead. 

Our shaman has now been the teacher of many medicine men and women, this allowed him to cultivate a powerful staff who not only are musicians but also hold years of experience working with Ayahuasca. such that they are able to safely and effectively hold space for our guests during ceremony.
