Hey everybody! Episode 84 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Stephano Gutierrez Manrique. I met Stephano a couple of years ago as we both practice Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the Sacred Valley of Peru where he lives and works. Stephano works with plant medicines, especially Wuachuma, Wilca, and DMT. He also has a very good knowledge of the Andean cosmovision and we had a really interesting conversation about plant medicines, Qero, and ancestral knowledge, and even touched on ancient civilizations. Stephano has a lot to share and I learned from this conversation and I think and hope you all will as well.

Stephano was born and raised in Lima, Peru. Strongly pulled towards a quieter lifestyle, he left his career of Flair Bartender and management of hotels decided to change his life to live within the communities of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in order to seek his purpose in life. From his all journey since 2013, Stephano does not stop learning from the living knowledge that the indigenous people of the High Andean communities of Cusco saves for those who earn their trust, Stephano learned from them an important ancient law called “Ayni” in Quechua the reciprocity, because thanks to the help to all the teachings that the Andean people of Cusco and “Pachamama” (Mother earth) gave him, Andean Encounters was founded to ascribe them back everything that the Andean people of Cusco did for him, thanks to it, Stephano found his purpose and he feels like a living entity son of Pachamama (Mother Earth) to be able to offer his most sacred secrets from the origins of Qosqo and its cosmogony so he can share it with the rest of the world.
