Dr. Alberto Villoldo
Discover penetrating insights from the intersection of neuroscience, quantum physics, and ancient Andean practices, which converge on a path to longevity and a new Earth heralded by a new kind of shaman — the neuro-shaman.
Experience the energetic clearing of a fire ceremony with a respected medical anthropologist initiated into ancient paths of healing and illumination.
How old would you feel if you had no formal age?
The idea that we are inherently designed to live, only to steadily degrade until we die, is a story that is becoming less and less supported by science.
As a medical anthropologist who studied the shamanic energy medicine practices of the Amazon and Andes firsthand for more than 25 years, Dr. Alberto Villoldo says that humans are actually one of three species on the planet that do not have death programmed in their DNA.
Perplexing as this may sound, scientific research on the drivers of aging continues to vindicate DNA breakdown as the main culprit.
All of this speaks to what Alberto learned while training with Inka medicine men and women... and the discoveries of the shamans who lived more than 5,000 years ago:
We can switch on and off the genes that create health and disease.
During this captivating hour with Alberto, you’ll explore the medicine that today’s scientists refer to as the master regulator of longevity — and the ancient Indigenous technologies that transform the body, heal the soul... and can change the way we live and die.
You’ll discover where energy medicine and shamanism meet... and how we are all part of Mother Nature’s experiment in longevity, which requires us to become Earthkeepers rather than continuing on the unsustainable path as Earth predators.
Alberto will share the transformative power of shamanic dreaming — shaping the collective dream we are all in — and how we can wake up inside the dream to consciously live and co-create.
And he’ll guide us through a fire ceremony as an invitation to let go of these destructive old ways and embrace a new way of being within and in the world.
In this enlightening online event, you’ll:
- Explore the ancient healing traditions of Andean shamanism, and the modern science that supports them, through Alberto’s journey as a medical anthropologist
- Discover the neuro-shaman — one who dreams their health and life into being — and begin to harness the power of shamanic dreaming to design your life lucidly
- Experience an interactive fire ceremony (bring a candle and toothpick or small stick to participate) — an ancient practice of rapid transformation that invites us to let go of the old story and be born anew
- Gain powerful scientific insight into how we are programmed for immortality as one of three species on the planet without a death program in our DNA
- Learn why your emotional brain needs ceremony in order to change — and why you cannot change your mind unless you change your brain as well
Nearly 30 years ago, Alberto traded his laboratory at San Francisco State University for a pair of hiking boots and a ticket to the Amazon, meeting and learning from Earthkeepers who were scattered here and throughout the Andes, but remembered the ancient ways.
After living in the Amazon jungle for 10 years, he trekked the coast of Peru to the province of Nazca, where gigantic geoglyphs etched into the land thousands of years ago still weather the tests of time...
... and to the fabled Shimbe lagoons in the North, collecting the stories and healing practices of the people from which, legends say, the Inka were born.
Alberto’s potent combination of shamanic wisdom, energy medicine, and modern science forges a path for the neuro-shaman, one who knows how to dream their life and health into being, transforming pain and suffering into sources of strength and compassion.
If you’re ready to explore how you are wired for longevity, join us for what is sure to be a mesmerizing hour.
You’ll also be among the first to hear about Alberto’s upcoming 7-module on-demand course with 4 Live Q&A’s
— a rite of passage into his Andean shamanic lineage and a pathway for the emergence of the neuro-shaman within you.

What People Are Saying About Dr. Alberto Villoldo...
“Alberto has such a wonderful teaching style.”
I loved learning about the energy bands and how to protect ourselves from daily energies that are not in our best interest. Alberto has such a wonderful teaching style. I hope to be able to access the teachings again to continue to re-learn the lessons, until I can attend another course.
— Terry Cichocki
“I sensed a real urgency for me (and the world) to ‘get it’.”
I just want to thank Alberto (and those who assist him, in any way) for making this information and ceremony available to the world. I sensed a real urgency for me (and the world) to “get it.”
— Marcia McEwen
“Alberto’s loving and kind way of teaching and his attitude to his work changed a lot for me.”
Alberto’s loving and kind way of teaching and his attitude to his work changed a lot for me. I understand much more about shamanism now.
— Petra Enguchu
“I learned the real way of becoming a shaman.”
I learned the real way of becoming a shaman. The science behind it and the spiritual aspect is beyond words. This course is very very helpful and I look forward to expanding my training, wisdom, and knowledge.
— Letika Moore
“This kind of work is a blessing for all people and the whole creation, to heal the wounds of the past...”
This kind of work is a blessing for all people and the whole creation, to heal the wounds of the past, which is so necessary in this time.

About Dr. Alberto Villoldo
By his mid-20s, Alberto Villoldo was the youngest clinical professor at San Francisco State University. He was directing the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory, investigating how energy medicine could change the chemistry of the brain. One day in his laboratory, Alberto realized that he was looking out of the wrong end of the microscope. He needed to find a system larger than the neural networks of the brain. Many others were already studying the hardware; Alberto wanted to learn to program the mind to create psychosomatic health.
Anthropological stories hinted that there were people around the globe who claimed to know such things, including the few remaining “shamans” in today’s modern world. So Alberto traded his laboratory for a pair of hiking boots and a ticket to the Amazon – determined to learn from researchers whose vision had not been confined to the lens of a microscope, and from people whose body of knowledge encompassed more than the measurable, material world that he had been taught was the only reality. He wanted to meet the people who sensed the spaces between things and perceived the luminous strands that animate all life.
Scattered throughout the Andes and Amazon were a number of sages or “Earthkeepers” who remembered the ancient ways. Alberto traveled through countless villages and hamlets and met with scores of medicine men and women. The lack of a written body of knowledge meant that every village had brought its own flavor and style to the healing practices that still survived.
For more than 10 years, Alberto trained with the jungle medicine people. In healing his own soul wounds, Alberto walked the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform old pain, grief, anger and shame to sources of strength and compassion.
From the Amazon, Alberto trekked the coast of Peru, from Nazca, the site of gigantic markings on the desert floor that depict power animals and geometric figures, to the fabled Shimbe lagoons in the North, home to the country’s most renowned shamans. Then, in Lake Titicaca, the lake at the top of the world, Alberto collected the stories and healing practices of the people from which, the legends say, the Inka were born.
Through it all, Alberto discovered a set of technologies that transform the body, heal the soul, and can change the way we live and the way we die. These ancient teachings explain that a Luminous Energy Field (LEF) surrounds us and acts as a matrix or blueprint that maintains the health and vibrancy of the physical body.
Alberto is founder of the world-renowned Four Winds Society and of the Light Body School. In his teachings and writings, he shares the experience of infinity and its ability to heal and transform us, to free us from the temporal chains that keep us fettered to illness, old age, and disease.
