Tomek's Numinous Way
‘I had my first numinous experience at fifteen, encountering the spirit of Cannabis Sativa. The experience was intense, dark, and purgative, marking a profound initiation into deeper layers of existence. What many might label a “bad trip” I recognise now as a powerful doorway into self-understanding, the first step in a lifelong apprenticeship with the Plant Teachers.
Soon after, I explored other altered states through MDMA and LSD alternatives, but I felt a growing call to natural, traditional healing methods. This led me to the Master Plants of the Amazon, and later to Peru, where I undertook deep apprenticeships with Shipibo Shamans. Through several Master Plant Dietas, I learned the sacred practices of ceremony, the healing technology of Icaro singing, and the art of facilitating transformational spaces.
Guided by visions and insights from Ayahuasca ceremonies, I was drawn to help create a place of learning and healing in the Amazon rainforest—land rich with Ayahuasca vines and medicinal plants. My vision remains to honour the plants as the true teachers, while supporting indigenous traditions and creating spaces for profound inner work.
Whether through music, ceremonial song, or the creation of sacred spaces, my focus is always to uplift, transform, and share the gifts I have been privileged to receive with others who feel the call.’
