Hello,

My name is Eric. I’ve been a world-traveled tattooer for over 25 years. For longer than I’ve been tattooing I’ve had a fascination with cultures of indigenous customs and shamanism.

Almost all ancient earth cultures practiced tattooing and shamanism symbiotically at one time, so it’s easy to see the connection.

My goal is to travel to Peru to study indigenous healing methods amongst a native family of shamans. The family I'll be staying with lives in the Peruvian Amazon near Iquitos, Peru.

I have been to the Amazon 3 times prior, the last being in 2012, and I've been fortunate enough to experience the magnitude of shamanic healing each time I traveled there. Now, almost ten years to the day, I will return to study alongside truly gifted healers for two months.

The primary goal of my study is to bring back what I learn and to help others benefit from that knowledge. The power and profundity of these ancient ceremonies and healing cannot be overstated. With the guidance of a qualified teacher, this ancient wisdom can be life-changing.

In my own experience, I have used these methods to heal my past traumas and addictions. I've also developed a closer, natural connection to Divinity I had never experienced before. This extraordinary healing and spiritual connection has brought immense benefit, meaning, and fulfillment to my life. I'm grateful for its impact every day.

I desire to immerse myself in this study program, learn from the masters of these uniquely powerful ancient techniques, and offer these healing gifts to any seeker who needs them.

We've never lived in a more tumultuous time. Confusion, disillusionment, and inner and outer turmoil are the norm. We all want to be happy, but clarity, peace, and harmony have never been so hard to find. I'm passionate about helping to change this and to bring some light and healing to a world that desperately needs it.

Donations will help cover:

- Airfare

- Tuition: 8-week intensive study program

- Room & Board

- Food & living expenses for 2 months

- Any extra funds will be donated to the family I’m staying with so that they can continue offering this vital program

Living right and loving right are essential. Eat healthily and love yourself.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my request and am truly grateful should you decide to donate to my cause.

All the best to you.
