"In a world of ultimate mystery, we create boredom. In a Universe of overwhelming abundance, we create lack. In a long life of safety, despite thousands of demonstrations of peace, we still create disquiet. In a life with but one guarantee, death, we create being afraid of it. And, finally, with a consciousness that is able to so powerfully create these things, it is also a Truth that we can as well create their opposites, at any time, in any place, for no reason, other than we can."

All the good things,

Hi Alan and Meriella,
Sorry but I won't be able to make it this year. IF my books come out this summer I can probably attend next summer on one of your sessions. We never did get to finish what we began in the that cold building in Amsterdam in 1999, so I am still looking forward to running with the Jaguar.
Thanks for being there and for what you are both sharing with the world.

We'll miss you John.. so let's hope things come around for you and you would be able to make it!
this morning, I received confirmation that the incredible ayahuasca visionary artist Pablo Amaringo will be with us at the Conference.
Pablo is most always with us at the Conferences and he brings not only his original art but very nice litho's printed in Spain. He's one of the most fascinating "Presenters" as he discusses his paintings, explaining in great detail the meaning of each small section of the paintings while they are projected to the large screen.
It's always nice to hear about these conferences every year. Be sure to give us a run down of the high points. I won't be able to make it but perhaps one of these years I will.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have added many new things to the Conference website www.soga-del-alma.org/conferencesite (http://www.soga-del-alma.org/conferencesite)
And we just got confirmation that the famous musician Tito Del Rosa will be at the conference with his music and his medicina.
and Peru just knocked 19 percent off all flights flying into and out of Iquitos!
So booking the flight now, a roundtrip for July, costs $126 USDs total....
Cheers!

We know it's a long and expensive ride to get to Iquitos... but we always have several people from Australia that make the trip. Many found that buying a Round the World pass was the way to go, but then you have to have the rest of the funds to manage that round the world passage. Regardless of how you can manage it, we love all of you here and you always bring new information that we don't see anywhere else. We really appreciate that.
However, from Carpedmt we have some excellent new! You can fly to Lima roundtrip on Aerolinas Argentina for $1000 Australian dollars... that's a huge difference from the 2,500 to 3,000 USDs it was in the past!
I can book you from Lima to Iquitos at really good rates if you buy early. Currently we're booking that roundtrip from $125 to $145 USDs.
