Greetings. I am Hamish, and this is my testimonial.
As a healer in training, the first thing that struck me upon meeting Shawn was the example he set for those wishing to understand themselves more deeply. He is deeply committed to his personal growth and makes his process transparent to those he helps, as he lives life with loving care. He is grounded and mindful of his boundaries. He carefully tends his connection to himself and his spiritual guides to better connect with and support others. Experiencing this daily has helped me to start doing the same for myself.
The small group setting Shawn offers blessed me with new friendships and gave me the community I needed to break through during my time in Colombia. Abigail ensured that all communication, accommodation, and food nourished and supported the work. The magical ceremonial setting that Taita Aristeides, Shawn, and the whole team carefully nurture allows for a deep connection to Yagé. Across the three ceremonies in the heart of the Siona community, I was deeply cleaned, and my energetic system was optimised for love and service. A blockage that had stopped me from fully connecting to life was removed, and I was cleared of a lingering fear that had been holding me back. Once this had been done, Yagé took me into his heart and strengthened me before passing me into the presence of God. I now pray daily, giving thanks for my life, knowing that if challenges arise, I have the resources I need to meet them head-on, with strength and a soft and open heart.
If you have found your way to Shawn, be confident in making the right decision. The Native Guides offer strong medicine, practical tools, and love that will guide you in returning to wholeness. When you leave, the real work will begin, and you will feel supported, as Shawn’s post-ceremonial guidance is exemplary.
I am genuinely grateful and send my loving support to Shawn, Abigail, Aristides, and the whole team, and I pray they may continue loving and supporting those who need their help. This is medicine! Surupa surupa!
