Lester’s Numinous Ways
‘I was born in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, on an island beside the great Amazon River. From a very young age, I was healed and taught by my parents and grandparents. They showed me how to work with plants, roots, bark, and leaves—medicines of the Earth that had been passed down for generations.
As I grew older and began to understand more, I felt a deep call to protect and love the trees and plants of the jungle. I began to do plant diets to connect more deeply with the spirits of the forest and to receive their teachings. Through this path, I came to know the power and wisdom of the master plant Ayahuasca.
Today, I guide ceremonies with Ayahuasca and other powerful plants, offering healing and knowledge to people from all over the world. Through these sacred plants, we can reconnect with nature, heal our hearts, and learn how to live in harmony with the Earth.
I invite everyone to experience the teachings of the jungle, to feel its medicine, and to walk the path of healing with us.’
