Presenters

Dr. Alberto Villoldo
Dr. Alberto Villoldo carried out research into the effects on the brain of energy medicine and visualisation as a young professor. His research guided him to embark on a journey of inner and outer discovery amongst the shamans of the Amazon and Peru. He learned from the shamans a sacred set of technologies that transform the body, heal the soul and change the way we live and die. Alberto Villoldo will share this knowledge with us during this Easter Symposium. Dr. Alberto Villoldo now teaches these spiritual and healing practices internationally and is the founder of the Healing the Light Body School which teaches transformation of the body, heart and soul.
