Making of a Modern Day Shaman

At the age of 25 Rebekah left her home in London, her loving boyfriend and a potential future in banking to travel to South America. There she eventually met Don Juanito, an Ayahuasquero shaman, who changed her life. Beyond Illusion tells Rebekah's story after her profound experience in the Peruvian Amazon. With every cell in her body longing to stay in the embrace of the Peruvian Amazon with her new shamanic family, Rebekah is forced to return to the west and try, to bring what she learnt and share it with the modern world. With no help, no road map and no instruction manual, Rebekah has only her courage and the passion in her heart to guide her. Alone, Rebekah tries to find a way to make a difference, to communicate her belief that the modern world is destroying itself and heading fast towards disaster. As she peels away the illusions, from academic research, to political campaigns, ethical business and even a meeting with the top men in the World Bank, the questions remain unanswered. Who am I? What is my purpose? And, how can I achieve it? In the end, she has to dig much deeper and find more strength to finish the journey and find the answers. She now shares this journey with the reader in a brutally honest, emotionally compelling, and always surprising book.
