About

In his early twenties, Jason’s focus shifted toward plants—as food, medicine, and living teachers. He studied herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and nutrition, which ultimately led him to the Amazon to learn traditional plant-based healing. The plants of the Amazon and the cultures that work with them profoundly transformed his life.

In 2012, Jason began working at the ayahuasca healing center Temple of the Way of Light, where he remained for nearly a decade. He apprenticed in the Shipibo tradition, beginning plant dieting in 2013 with maestro Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. Through years of isolation, fasting, and plant diets, he was eventually authorized to work with plants and administer diets himself. He has lived, learned, and worked in Peru for over a decade and now facilitates dietas in the Sacred Valley of Peru and internationally.

Jason works with the master plant tobacco as a bridge and Amazonian tree medicines, and increasingly with trees from North America and Europe, inspired by Celtic wisdom. He has helped guide over a thousand people through ceremonies in the past decade and is also the creator of the Universe Within Podcast.

He sees himself as a bridgekeeper, inspired by his teacher Imika from the Tubu nation and their prophecy of the Diramassä - those who bridge the medicines of the Four Directions to create a new maloca, a ceremonial house that symbolizes the world itself.

Deeply grateful to his teachers, students, and the plants, Jason approaches his work with humility, integrity, and devotion to learning. He is married, has a son, is an Eagle Scout, and in his free time enjoys Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (brown belt), riding his motorcycle, woodworking, and spending quiet time in nature.
