Jim Holcombe

Jim is an experienced and compassionate sacred plant medicine facilitator, who had his first experience with ayahuasca in 2000 in Peru.
Fast forward to 2007, Jim began his training in facilitating ayahuasca ceremony. He worked closely under his maestro and mentor Michael Sonn, of Mahua family lineage —with its great master teachers like Don Solon Tello—as well as maestros from the Shipibo lineage, including Antonio Munoz Diaz, Benjamin and Pancho Mahua, Luzmilla Mori and Maximo Lomas Vela. Jim sat with ayahuasca over 300 times during his 3.5 year apprenticeship with Michael, and gained a wealth of experience in holding space and energy work.

Jim has served medicine as the founder of Shanti Wasi Medicine Nights for over 14 years, supporting hundreds of clients through their sacred medicine journey. He offers a uniquely wholesome and compassionate space for everyone to learn, grow, and evolve together.
