Hamilton Souther is a Master Ayahuasca Shaman, founder and Chairman of Blue Morpho retreats, and an important voice in Amazonian sustainability and conservation. In this fascinating episode he shares his original calling and experience with ayahuasca, as well as his intense apprenticeship and training process while living deep in the Amazon jungle. Hamilton describes how we are in a unique time of convergence regarding consciousness, technology and cultural change. We discuss ayahuasca's healing potential which may include treating depression, trauma, PTSD, physical pain, ailments and more. We also discuss the neo-shamanic revolution and the role of plant medicine in the awakening of humanity, and icaros - the magical language and song of the shaman. Hamilton shares the importance of integration following ceremony and suggested supportive practices as well as his personal journey working through duality and fear-based consciousness. He talks of the shaman's skills in facilitating ceremony such as holding safe space, keeping the group field grounded and navigating perception in different realms and visionary states. We discuss the range of effects of ayahuasca such as purging, communication with nature, various psychic phenomena, accessing higher dimensions, visions of sacred geometry and the experience of spiritual unity or oneness. He shares how ayahuasca may be viewed as an accelerant to personal transformation and can integrate contemplative and shamanic practices. We also cover the current legalization process of traditional shamanic medicines and the ethical considerations about harvesting versus growing this sacred medicine. Hamilton studied shamanism in California, Cusco, and the Amazon and was given the title of Master Shaman after apprenticing with Torres Davila and Julio Jlerena Pinedo. He has a Bachelors degree in Anthropology and is an experienced entrepreneur with interest in quantum computing, synthetic biology, renewable use permaculture and agricultural development. The New York Times has said of him, “As the only full-fledged gringo shaman in the Peruvian Amazon, Souther is a natural interpreter for tourists navigating the mysteries of traditional Indian culture and its sacred plants."
