Francesca Barone is a teacher, facilitator, and lifelong student of the Shipibo healing tradition devoted to the intersection of shamanic medicine, feminine healing arts, somatic-based embodiment practice, and the classical tantric path. She is the co-founder of Anam Cara Healing Retreats, an intimate Shipibo Ayahuasca retreat center in Costa Rica and Peru dedicated to preserving indigenous wisdom, honoring the Shipibo lineage, and creating deeply personalized healing experiences rooted in reciprocity and integrity. Having apprenticed for years with Shipibo maestros, Francesca has guided hundreds of people through profound healing journeys by weaving Amazonian plant medicine with trauma-informed care, somatic healing, breathwork, and embodied spirituality. Her work explores the body as a sacred pathway to awakening, where trauma is transformed, the feminine principle is reclaimed, and ancient wisdom becomes a lived experience woven into every day practice.

James Burke is a contemporary Bard and music producer with a devotion to the throbbing Now. A pilgrim of the in-between, he is at home on the paradoxical path of Christ yet drawn to the wisdom of the old pagan Earth, and his work explores the reconciliation of these estranged worlds. Through writing and song, he inhabits the thresholds where myth and daily life meet. James returns for Part 2 to tell the full story of his 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago — the desperation that drove him there, the woman who broke his heart open, and the soul encounter that changed everything.
