Among his experience are years of tourist guiding in Iguassu, Amazonas and Pantanal; living with Indians in the Brazil-Peru-Colombia-Triple Border area; Leading kayak, nature and birdwatching tours in Amazonia and the Pantanal and done several kayak solo crossings (good meditation), what brought him to a quieter perception of the environment, solitude and silence; little by little developping his ideas of eco-spirituality, ecophilosophy and his personal ecosophy. All led him to open up for the understanding of subtler energy forms.

Today he talks on the subject and organizes the Reconnection Experiential Groups REG/
GVRs) which includes visits to Y-Guassu and other Sacred Places. The search for subtle energies has led him into healing and therapies. He has a practice in Ayurvedic Massage and Watsu™ besides being a Reiki Master / Teacher in the Usui System of Natural Healing, Ascension and Kundalini Tantra Reiki™. He is a shaman Master/ Teacher in the Ama Deus Shamanic Healing (Uirapuru) Tradition of the Guarani People. This book was written with the intention to support those who are willing to see in the Iguassu Falls and other brother-sister sacred places – more than just tourist attractions. It was written also in the hope that it will help save the Iguassu Falls (Yes, they are endangered) and promote its ecological health and spiritual peace. The book is offered as a prayer for the healing of the Planet and all of her people which includes you.
