About the teacher
Alberto Villoldo
Alberto Villoldo trained as a medical anthropologist and studied extensively with shamans in the Peruvian Andes and Amazon before founding the Four Winds Society and Light Body School, which teach what he calls energy medicine, a synthesis of Andean shamanic practice with concepts drawn from neuroscience and psychology.
He teaches a ten-month Path of Energy Medicine programme and a two-year Energy Medicine Master's Circle including an in-person Master's Gathering in 2026 with Marcela Lobos, alongside Grow a New Body retreats in Chile and Europe.
“The shaman is a self-realized person. She discovers the ways of Spirit through her inner awakening.”Alberto Villoldo
