In this video, we enter the jungle in the Amazon basin to follow Don Mariano, a Colombian Indian from the Murui tribe. He shows us how to pick up the chacruna leaves, and collect the vines of the Ayahuasca tree which are the two components Murai Indians use to prepare the Ayahuasca brew.
The use of special plants that induce altered states of consciousness has been documented for thousands of years. In South America, many indigenous tribes spread throughout the Amazon continue to have spiritual practices that are centered around the drinking of a brewed infusion of plants known as AYAHUASCA.


To the Amazonian cultures all animals, created by the great mystery, are the embodiments of deep wisdom, and life teachings for us humans. Animals are considered as just different people and equal to humans. Using deep observation we can see that they gift us the medicine we need to navigate wisely the paths of life. A few animals thou, are most central to this remarkable culture and the shaman's work. The mystic Eagle/Condor, the largest of all birds, that fly the highest in the skies has special teachings, achieved through the use of plant wisdom. Shamans learn to invoke their medicine powers through their Icaros (soul songs) and prayers when they perform healings.
