During journeys into the heart of the Amazon, spiritual healer Foster Perry experienced the strange, otherworldly perceptions of shamanic cultures by participating in their sacred ayahuasca rituals. These visions brought up every charged issue separating him from the "natural harmony between the spirit and the conditions of life." To heal himself, the author had to confront his wounded male with its seductive behavior, which he processed in group seminars throughout South America. In redeeming himself, Perry shows us what drives "wounded healers" to abuse their spiritual authority.
