Dr Scott Irwin
Dr Scott has an extensive and unique background at the intersection of modern psychology, functional medicine, ancient spiritual tradition and Amazonian shamanism.
Jungle Medicine Retreat
https://junglemedicineretreat.com/
Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/scott.irwin.33
Email: Drscottirwin@gmail.com
Presently, Dr Scott offers Plant Medicine Retreats in the Amazonian rainforests of Ecuador. These retreats take place in a small, Kichwa indigenous community called Sacha Wasi Communidad, about 30 minute’s drive from Puyo where guests stay in simple, locally-constructed bamboo huts and participate in numerous rituals with medicinal plants, as well as daily hikes and music, ensuring a close connection with la Pachamama, our earth mother.
Here seekers can experience the healing power of ancestral master plants such as Ayahuasca, San Padro, Psilocybin, Sananga, Guando, Mapacho, Rape' and others.
Profits Support this Indigenous Community.
Dr Scott works with this Kichwa tribe in numerous ways, and the profits gained from retreats are shared with these important partners to help improve the community infrastructure. New electrical power supply, water supply, hot water, laundry, refrigeration, and a community learning center with high speed internet and 4 computers are examples of recent improvements.
At the community, you are surrounded by nature. The village is located between two rivers and hikes in the surrounding areas take you to breathtaking waterfalls. This is an essential component to the retreat and healing process.
For the past 5 years, Dr Scott was the Senior Minister, Staff Psychologist and Senior Ayahuasca Facilitator at Soul Quest Ayahuasca Church of Mother Earth in Orlando, Florida.
Soul Quest is considered to be one of the largest Ayahuasca churches in the United States and has served ayahuasca to over 20,000 individual members.
One of his achievements while at Soul Quest was the development of over 26 free online weekly pre & post-ceremony integration groups. Groups included psycho-spiritual integration, Zen Buddhist Meditation (taught by a former Zen Buddhist Monk). Psychedelics in Recovery Groups, A Course In Miracles Study Group, Bhagavad Gita Study Group, Jungian Group, Jungian Shadow-Work Group, Transformational Breathwork Group, Writing Circle, Buddhist Spiritual Studies, Support for First Responders, Motherhood group, Women's Only Group, Veterans group, and a weekly online Church service that received 1500 to 2000 weekly views.
Dr Scott left Soul Quest to pursue a deeper understanding of the ancestral plant medicines of the Amazon.

In this special episode we are having a Round table discussion about the integrity of a healer.
Highlights
What does integrity mean to us?
Creating a safe container
Trust and informed consent
Quality over quantity
Clear communication and agreements
Vulnerability and transparency
How long is the healing process?
Educating and empowering our clients

The intention of this Round Table is to unite healers and teachers across the globe to join in service, to educate and uplift humanity in this time of global transition. The focus is healing, awakening and self empowerment, expanding our awareness of who we truly are. We stand on the common ground that we are our own healers and love is the medicine that heals old wounds and brings us together as a real family that we are. We walk many paths but we all walk the one path of the One Heart.
And so, we gather together to bring our experiences, wisdom and tools to those who are looking for guidance, community and support.
Gathering in circle is and creating a sacred space intentionally to share and cooperate reminds us that we are equal and part of the one human family.
We are planting this idea as a seed, and we are excited to see how it will grow, flourish and enrich the collective.
