THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RIVER
Dr. Tafur’s exciting book explores his extensive experience with ayahuasca and traditional medicine in the Amazon Rainforest. During his intensive work at the Peruvian healing center Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual, Dr. Tafur studied Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine (TAPM) and curanderismo under master Shipibo Ayahuasquero Ricardo Amaringo. At the center, he learned how shamanic approaches can help to heal modern health problems like anxiety, depression, PTSD, migraine headaches, and digestive problems.
Dr. Tafur continues to work in both allopathic and shamanic medicine. In his years at Nihue Rao, he collected a number of integrative case studies from which he developed his theories linking the profound world of shamanic healing to modern medical understanding. Woven into the stories of his Amazonian adventures, Dr. Tafur has summarized these theories in his thought-provoking book, The Fellowship of the River: A Medical Doctor's Exploration into Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine.
