About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Roman Hanis has been working closely with the indigenous Peruvian cultures in the Amazonian rainforest and Andean mountains since 2001. During this time he has devoted this life to learning the ancient healing ways of these cultures while seeking possibilities for creating ecological sources of sustenance for local populations and working to preserve the rainforest and its spiritual heritage of sacred medicinal plants.

Seeing the vital role that ancient cultural practices can play in today’s world, Roman honors and shares their value and wisdom through his work in community projects, healing retreats and educational workshops in both Peru and the U.S.

He is a certified Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner in Peru, and studied the fundamentals of TCM and acupuncture as an apprentice under the director of the Open International Institute of Oriental Medicine, Myriam Hacker, in Iquitos, Peru.

In 2002, Roman was fortunate enough to be cured of a terminal genetic illness , Crohn’s disease. In 2004, he was pledged as a healer-curandero by the Whitoto and Yahua tribes and has served the international community as a medicine man ever since. He has also practiced physical trauma rehabilitation, medical massage therapy and Eastern bodywork, having earned his degree from New York’s Swedish Institute of Health. With these tools and concentrated efforts, he has been able to help numerous individuals overcome many health issues and pathologies on physical, mental and spiritual levels.

A Great Teacher
Roman is an authority on the global indigenous lineages that he has studied from Tibet to the Peruvian Amazon having walked this path of healing and spiritual exploration for over 20 years. A true Ayahuscaro, Roman's methods involve all aspects of the process beyond simply working with the plant medicine. There is no one who I would rather sit with and cannot recommend him enough.

Respect
Roman is always open to speaking to me about everything I need to go through. No matter how deep in the shadows I find myself, he is always willing to light up that lamp.

Sometimes he prefers to do some of the more intense dark situations in private, away from an open public form. I feel that books should be open for anybody to read. But the lessons of where to keep things to myself are still appreciated. It helps me develop myself and find appropriate times to open up a trauma I noticed is a part of all of society, but is deeply hidden. It's easier for me to see the trauma than it is for me to see that a group of people may not be ready to face that trauma. But Roman helps fill that missing part for me.

про Рому
...... When I met Roman the first time I "saw": ..... We live in such a happy time when the world and humanity are open to all knowledge .... "- and after a few seconds - Roman said this phrase out loud now I heard it ... then it continued the same way: I saw what he wants to say before he uttered ... And I thought: - why is he moving his lips, because I already understand everything, what does he want to say .... telepathy .... this happened to me for the first time, but it hasn’t happened again yet ..... this is the story. And then he was not only a reliable guide, but also a good, honest man and friend. I trust Roman. And I want to go to a meeting with Mother Nature and spirits and to the sacred ayahuazka only under the supervision of Roman.
