Amazonian Dreamtime Ceremony
Indigenous Bodywork Techniques and Skills
With Taita Itzhak Beery and myself
09-10 May 2025, Amsterdam
You are warmly invited to join shamanic healer and teacher Taita Itzhak Beery in Amsterdam for an Amazonian Dreamtime Tea Ceremony with Rapé Introduction, and an Immersive Full-Day Indigenous Bodywork Teaching. This transformative experience offers a unique opportunity to connect deeply with ancestral wisdom and shamanic traditions. This event is made possible through the honored collaboration between Itzhak Beery of ShamanPortal and Mayumi Beckers of ShamansDirectory, uniting their shared dedication of preserving and forwarding Indigenous wisdom.
Itzhak is an internationally renowned shamanic teacher, healer, speaker, community activist, trip leader, as well as author of three books. Since 1995, he has studied with and been initiated by Indigenous teachers from around the world. He apprenticed with Taita Don JoséJoaquin Pineda, a respected fifth-generation Ecuadorian Quechua Yachak (shaman) from the village of Iluman, who initiated him into the 'Sacred 24 Yachaks Circle of Imbabura'. He was also initiated by Shoré, an Amazonian Kanamari Pajè (shaman) on the riverbanks of the Rio Negro. Itzhak studied and assisted for 12 years with Ipupiara Makunaiman (Dr. Bernardo Peixoto), a Brazilian Pajé from the Ure-eu-wau-wau tribe, and his Peruvian curandera wife. Additionally, Itzhak has learned from Elders and shamans in North and South America, Greenland, Siberia, and Africa.
With a generous, grounded, and open teaching style, Itzhak is dedicated to sharing the wisdom he has gathered over decades of practicing shamanic earth-based traditions. He is the founder of ShamanPortal, the Andes Summit, and SPQR Magazine and co-founder of The NY Shamanic Circle. Committed to preserving and sharing Indigenous wisdom and ways of life, he actively supports their communities.
Join us for this extraordinary experience to meet Itzhak in person, be guided by him on a visionary journey, and learn new skills from a masterful shaman! Be inspired and enrich your practice with practical tools that you can seamlessly integrate into your healing work. Read the full program details below.

The Night Watchman: Amazonian Guayusa Dream Tea Ritual with Rapé Introduction
Friday 9 May 2025 | 6:30 - 9:30 PM | Amsterdam
Step into a magical evening of vision and connection with Itzhak Beery as we journey with Guayusa dream tea, awakening our senses to the mystery of the night and our future. Rapé, a sacred tobacco snuff blended with medicinal herbs, is traditionally used before Guayusa ceremonies to clear distractions and prepare the mind. Administered with intention and respect, it aligns energy, sharpens awareness, and deepens spiritual practice. This shamanic gathering invites you to explore Dreamtime and expand awareness through the sacred Guayusa tea ceremony. With songs, music, and heartfelt intention, we will honor the spirit of the Guayusa tree, creating a warm space for insight and inspiration. As we sip this unique tea, we will relax into deep stillness, opening the door to spirit guides and new visions.
Guayusa, a cousin of yerba maté and green tea, is rich in antioxidants and gentle caffeine, providing clarity without restlessness. It also contains theobromine, the blissful heart-opener found in chocolate, and L-theanine, which promotes calm focus and harmony. This experience is not hallucinatory — Guayusa quiets the mind, guiding us into deep meditative states where intuition and vision flourish. Join us for a night of connection and discovery. Book your spot and meet the Guayusa plant teacher if you feel called. You will leave refreshed, inspired, and wonderfully alive.
Price: 95 euros — Spaces are limited. Reserve your spot today!
