The Heart-Opening Power of Ayahuasca
Dr. Joe Tafur is an integrative Family Physician, Curandero, Author and speaker. Dr. Tafur’s academic research at the UCSD Department of Psychiatry focused on mind-body medicine and was followed by a six year period where he lived and worked in the Peruvian Amazon at the traditional healing center Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual. During his intensive work at the Peruvian healing center Dr. Tafur studied Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine (TAPM) and Shipibo shamanism under master ayahuasquero Ricardo Amaringo. At the center, he trained in ayahuasca curanderismo and learned how shamanic approaches can help to heal modern health problems like anxiety, depression, PTSD, migraine headaches, and digestive problems.
In his years at Nihue Rao, Dr. Tafur collected integrative case studies from which he developed his theories linking the profound world of shamanic healing to modern medical understanding. Dr. Tafur’s acclaimed book, "The Fellowship of the River: A Medical Doctor's Exploration into Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine," developed from this work and shares his unique experiences and integrative theories on the role of spiritual healing in modern healthcare.
