I would like to offer you all a warm greeting from Blue Morpho. This newsletter is designed to reflect themes of interest of the reader, so I am asking for feedback on any topics that you would like to see addressed in the following months. Amazonian Shamanism is an ample topic with many facets that we can develop through this medium to open our understanding of this ancient system of spiritualism.

First of all I want to thank all of our guests that came to our new camp this year 2006 and the guests from the first half of 2007. Thank You from our entire staff and shamanism team! Shamanism is something we practice together and the opportunity to form groups and share the wisdom and medicine in and out of formal ceremony is continuous blessing.

Don Julio Llerena Pinedo: Master Shaman (Medico Vegetalista, Palero, Ayahuasquero, and Maestro de la Ciencia Magica) and medicinal plant expert has recently passed away at the age of 89, but before passing pledged his alliance to the lineage and mesa. Don Alberto received the inheritance of Julio's medicine and guides in accordance to a 35 year pact of medicine between the two and his spirit is still present and supporting in ceremony. Don Julio apprenticed directly under the tutelage of the Doctor Spirits (Genios of the medicinal plants) of the Jungle during isolated diets in the highlands outside of Pucallpa. In his collective experience he has over 1,500 ayahuasca ceremonies and has healed thousands of patients from the Peruvian Amazonian regions and worldwide.  Julio is still with us in Spirit. Our medicine pacts live strong even if he has left his body behind. It was a blessing to work with one of the world’s true masters and receive his teaching and guidance. He will forever be held in our hearts and thoughts as our Spirits continue to work together.

2007 is slowly coming to an end as we have only one more 9 day workshop planned for the year. This has been the best year in the history of Blue Morpho and we want to offer a tremendous thanks to all of our guests from this year helping it to have been so special. Each and every group had a unique energy that transformed through the week getting lighter and stronger. The ceremonies as many of you will remember were very strong filled with medicine and insights. The medicine has expressed itself with you and through us as well. The apprentices excelled this year being taken to places that were hard and breaking all the way through the ecstatic and divine. It was a year for transformation in the medicine and we grew. The mesa became stronger as the bonds between all of us gelled into greater loyalty and commitment. Don Alberto continues to lead the mesa with the mastery of over 40 years of experience. It continues to be an honor to sit next to him in ceremony and experience the power of his medicine.

The first five months of 2008 have been amazing. Our groups this year so far have been full bringing the dream of holding consistent groups of 20 or more guests into reality. As Blue Morpho was growing up and we were working with smaller groups, our current manifestation was only a distant thought brought into my heart. Now it is manifest and the medicine is flowing through it each and every week we are together with guests, holding ceremonies, straightening energy and learning.
