Carlos is an American living in Peru, where he has been studying the science of plant spirit healing in the Amazon Rainforest since 2003.  He currently works as the director of the Ayahuasca Foundation, a non-profit organization based out of Iquitos, Peru.  He organizes healing retreats and educational courses with authentic indigenous healers, called curanderos, to help people who are in need of healing--anything from depression to cancer--or who are interested in learning the healing traditions of the Amazon Rainforest.  He has participated in over 700 ayahuasca ceremonies and has spoken at conferences, workshops, and seminars about his experiences with the sacred medicine ayahuasca and his path to becoming a "Gringo" shaman in the Peruvian Amazon. In 2017, he opened the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center which currently hosts the first and only government funded ayahuasca research in the world.  Upcoming studies with ayahuasca plant medicine will investigate treatment of childhood trauma, chronic pain, epigenetics, and other fascinating topics.  For more information about Carlos and his work, please see:   https://www.ayahuascafoundation.org/ayahuasca-foundation-about-us/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carlos.tanner YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhs4h2WMbYZ1_d58I4j8Dw Twitter: https://twitter.com/ayahuascahealer?lang=en Happy 2020 to you and yours!
