Jiri - Blue Morpho Journals


This is my friend Jiri. I met him and many other incredible people at Blue Morpho in Iquitos, Peru during my travels there November 2007.

Many of my friends and family have asked me to describe my experience at Blue Morpho. We worked with Shamans in Ayahuasca ceremony. Each of us had different reasons for being there and undoubtedly we had very different experiences. What we did have in common was the Mesa within which we learned. The Mesa is - to the best of my ability to describe it - is a spiritual arena which is controlled and protected by the Shamans and Apprentices overseeing the ceremony.

Jiri shared the Mesa with me in Peru. He also has captured the experience very well in his journal, though I have no idea how he could even pick up a pen during some of those times.

So, I would like to thank Jiri for his thorough description of the Blue Morpho experience. I encourage anyone who is wondering what it is like to visit Blue Morpho and to navigate an Ayahuasa ceremony (and emerge on the other side) to visit Jiri's JOURNAL. He also took some beautiful PHOTOS. Jiri has multiple Blue Morpho image collections there. Explore them all!

Excellent work, Jiri.

Thank you, my friend...
