Dr Alberto Villoldo trained with the jungle medicine people

For more than 30 years, Alberto worked with the Andean and Amazon medicine people. Healing his own soul wounds, Alberto walked the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform old pain, grief, anger and shame to sources of strength and compassion.

Villoldo

Dr.

Alberto left his brain-research laboratory at San Francisco State University for a ticket to the Amazon – determined to learn from researchers whose vision had not been confined to the lens of a microscope, from people whose body of knowledge encompassed more than the measurable, material world that he had been taught was the ONLY reality.  Scattered throughout the Andes and Amazon were a number of sages or “Earth Keepers” who remembered the ancient ways. Alberto traveled through countless villages and met with scores of medicine men and women. The lack of a written body of knowledge meant that every village had brought its own flavor and style to the healing practices that survive to this day. He has translated the ancient wisdom combined with cutting edge neuroscience into modern, practical tools we can use to heal the body and upgrade the brain, and to become the new human - Homo luminous.
