Shamans and Healers: The Untold Ayahuasca Story from a Shaman’s ApprenticeBOOK 1

In 2008, I quit my job in art therapy in Canada and flew to Peru to spend 9 months in the jungle studying shamanism. It was a crazy idea, but it was what I wanted to do at the time. I met Pablo Amaringo, the famous painter of ayahuasca visions… Before I only knew him through his books. Now, we exhibited together at the 5th International Shamanism Conference. Later I acquired one of his largest paintings. (I need to sell it, so let me know if you’re interested, by the way)

While in Peru, I kept a diary. This diary resulted in the Shamans and Healers book. If you do read the book, or any of my books, please be so kind as to leave a favorable review on Amazon. Thank you!

Walk in the Light: Holy Wisdom for Modern TimesBOOK 2

After reading my first book, some people wanted to know what happened during the next few years of my journey. As a response to these inquiries, I published more diary entries covering my early Christian spiritual experiences from 2010 to 2014. The book contains teachings and sermons by Jose and Ela from El Refugio in Oaxaca, Mexico.

God With Us: Autobiographical Short StoriesBOOK 3

My third (and perhaps final) further describes my spiritual journey, including my return to Orthodox Christianity. This book was also compiled from diary entries that span from 2014 to 2020. It includes many travel stories, more than a few accounts of miracles, well as a number of sermons and talks by Jose and Ela from El Refugio.

Remembering Toller Cranston: A Friendship Between Two ArtistsA Tribute to a Friend

This little book was written shortly after the tragic and untimely passing away of my dear friend and mentor Toller Cranston, the Canadian figure skating champion and artist. His death left me devastated and I could not write for months… After all I had been visiting him almost every day. We were exhibiting together, traveling together, painting together. As soon as I calmed down enough to write at all, I wrote this book, also using my notes and diary entries for the process.
