Jurriën

Dutch-born, Jurriën lived for years with the family of Maestro Gilberto Mahua in the Peruvian Amazon, dieting the master plants and learning the work of ceremony in the Shipibo tradition. He has held ayahuasca ceremonies in that tradition ever since.

He also documented Maestro Gilberto's life and work on film, including SAMÀ, a portrait of the Shipibo maestro and his family.

At Casa Arkaana, Jurriën leads the ayahuasca ceremonies of every Surrender to Remember circle, with Asdru and Maja holding the container around him: the preparation, the daily life of the retreat, and the integration.
