He was initiated by Don Guadalupe to be a guide to Shamanic apprentices in the Huichol tradition. He is founder of the Blue Deer Center in Margaretville, New York, and a true healer working with the spirits of plants and animals, as well as the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine. Tune in to be inspired by his wisdom and knowledge of nature, and learn how plants, animals, earth, fire, metal, water, and wood can interact with us to bring about amazing healings.
Guest, Eliot Cowan

He began the study and practice of herbalism in the 1960’s and completed a Master of Acupuncture degree with J.R. Worsley in England in the 1970’s.
