Matthew Toussaint
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Matthew Toussaint was born and raised in upstate New York and has since called home several places around the world. He has a background in Cultural Anthropology, where he conducted original ethnographic research on the emergence of ayahuasca shamanism in Western contexts. He first went to Peru to drink ayahuasca in 2008 and underwent a deeply meaningful, life-changing experience.
For the next six years Matthew continued to deepen his relationship with the plants until he relocated to Peru in 2014. Since then he has worked professionally with plant medicine in a variety of contexts: at three retreat centers, in small private groups, and one-on-one with clients. He partnered with Maestro Alberto and joined the team at Casa Del Maestro in 2021.
Matthew helps coordinate and manage the administration of our retreat programs, translates for guests, supports the guest experience, and serves as an apprentice to Maestro Alberto. He loves the work and is honored to share this medicine with the world.
