What to Expect

This course involves 3 stages, wherein the apprentice will live, work and practice at the Rainforest Healing Center. The full apprenticeship will include: working with guests and facilitating and guiding their experiences before and after ceremonies, working in conjunction with other facilitators and the shaman during ceremony in the maloca, learning the tools and rituals involved in sacred medicine ceremonies, learning the concepts and actions behind the icaros, learning how to cook and/or process the sacred plants, and finally administering ceremony.

This apprenticeship has flexible dates, depending on the availability (and maturity) of the applicant and the availability of our staff. While the full apprenticeship includes three stages, they do not have to be done in immediate succession. If interested, please send a letter of interest and a medicine-related resume to info@rainforesthealingcenter.com
