Exploring Indigenous Traditions and Wisdom with Dr Joe Tafur
My unofficial Vital Student Zine #2 with observations from Vital Psychedelic Training and recent happenings in the space.
In Vital’s second lecture Dr Joe Tafur blew minds with a clinical overview of shamanic plant medicine healing. It included his staggering current research into conditions possibly related to epigenetics that range from PTSD to cancer.
The family doctor from Phoenix, Arizona is also a shaman in the Shipibo curanderismo tradition trained by Maestro Ayahuasca Shaman Ricardo Amaringo. He’s the author of ayahuasca blockbusterThe Fellowship of the River (‘with introduction by Gabor Mat´é') plus the co-founder alongside Amaringo of Nihue Rao healing centre near Iquitos, Peru.
