The Ayahuasca Test Pilots are a collaboration of individuals who engage in the ceremonial practice of "ayahuasca journeying" with skilled shamans in Peru. In this episode we meet Medicine Hunter Chris Kilham.

Chris Kilham's latest book, The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook: The Essential Guide to Ayahuasca Journeying, provides a practical guide to ayahuasca use, aiding seekers in making right—and safe—decisions about where to go, who to drink with, and what to expect.

“As pertains to my activities related to ayahuasca shamanism, I first became involved with South American shamans in 1993. From that time to the present, I have lived, studied, traveled and engaged in various types of ceremonies with over 40 different shamans, in Brazil and Peru. A little over eight years ago, I started drinking ayahuasca. For me, this path fits perfectly with my 45 years of daily yoga, and my career of hunting for medicinal plants all over the globe. These modalities all go together very well, helping to enhance overall health, vitality, wellness and spiritual insight. I also work extensively in media, helping to get out messages of high value to people all over the world. I’ve done over 1500 radio programs and 500 TV shows, and appear on FOX News, CNN, NBC, ABC, PBS, and numerous other outlets. We are fortunate to live in an era when so many valuable teachings are readily accessible.” -- Chris Kilham
