QUESTION AND ACCUSATIONS TOWARDS ALBERTO VARELA AND AYAHUASCA INTERNATIONAL

By Ronaldo Tapia (someone who wants to know)

Hello; What is the reason why the shaman Cesar Ahumada (Rumi) from the vegetalista centre of ayahuasca in Santiago´s Medical Centre Manto Wasi say that Ayahuasca International Chile and Mr. Varela are deceitful and charlatans in the use and administration of ayahuasca as they are not experts, shamans or healers…? Why does the most respected authority in Chile relating to Ayahuasca say this about you? It is a question of going into manto Wasi or Rumi Manto Facebook pages and see the accusations against you. I ask these questions of you with utmost respect…my intention is only to clarify the reasons for this situation…. Greetings.

ANSWER FROM A PARTICIPANT WHO KNOWS FIRST HAND BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH ALBERTO VARELA.

By Davan Paez Hernandez (someone who knows already)

I was in a retreat organised in Santiago a week ago and I can tell you that Alberto Varela and Ayahuasca Internacional are very professional and respectful with the use of this medicine. There will always be detractors and critics but through Alberto Ayahuasca has reached many people´s lives who had a unique experience, very restorative and healing, so mission accomplished!!!

Greetings

ALBERTO JOSE VARELA´S COMMENT

I RETURN TO SANTIAGO DE CHILE FROM THE 7 TO 10 July WITH A SHAMAN FROM THE AMAZON JUNGLE.

Who will come with me together with a therapist and several collaborators and musicians in the 3 sessions at Cajón del Maipo. It is a very good opportunity for those who have questions about what it is said, or for those who want to know through first hand experience the truth to participate.

Mr Cesar Ahumada (Rumi) has his reasons to criticise me without knowing me or seen my work. All criticism is destructive and comes from inner unresolved issues, but we all have those internal places still to heal. Maybe my presence in Chile supports many people to open their heart to coming out from what it is said without knowing. Then they may dare to see the truth with their own eyes.

I apologise, if until now Rumi was the only authority with Ayahuasca and I have come to Chile to disturb him. However, I have come following the invitation from many people who read my blog and wanted to find out what I do across the world. I clarify that my work is very different, in fact completely different, although I also use ayahuasca. I do it with a therapeutic aim and supported by shamans and health professionals. The method we have created for the conscious use of Ayahuasca goes hand in hand with psychologists, doctors, shamans and alternative therapists, it is not based on cultural tradition or religious syncretism from the ayahuasca environment. On the contrary, it is an original development which gives it a professional and psychotherapeutic character to the use of ayahuasca.

We will continue to publish testimonials of those who have participated in the experience with ayahuasca and psychotherapy with Alberto Varela and his professional team.
