The Fellowship of the River details Colombian-American doctor Joe Tafur’s extensive experience living among ayahuasca healers in the Amazon rainforest. Drawing on these experiences with refreshing honesty and clarity of prose, Tafur makes a compelling case for ayahuasca’s role in healing the discontent of modern life. Alternatively personal, spiritual, and scientifically rigorous in scope, this unique book serves to bridge the paradigm gap between Western allopathic medicine and traditional Shamanistic views of healing.
