Hamilton Souther is a traditionally trained Ayahuasca and Tobacco Shaman who was born and raised in the United States. While completing his education in anthropology, he began having dreams and visions that lead him to the jungle of Peru. Through a series of unlikely events, he was welcomed in by two local shamans and received formal training in plant medicine work over the next 10 years.

Hamilton now operates a retreat centre in Peru called Blue Morpho that offers healing retreats. In is episode we explore Hamilton’s wild story and unpack the details of how plant medicines heal ailments like trauma, addiction, and other issues.

Hamilton shares some extraordinary jungle stories with us, including what lead him down his path to becoming a Shaman. We also talk candidly about “master plants”, “plant dieta”, and even the Cannabis plant and its role as a master plant.
