Ed and Tania Tuttle

Meet with highly respected Shamans and participate in sacred ceremonies which promote transformational events of self-awareness and personal growth.

Ed and Tania's purpose is to become a bridge between the worlds of the South American Condor and the North American Eagle. Through Sacred Journeys, people are introduced to Amazonian and Andean healing techniques , and experiences with the Amazonian plant teachers. Also they  give presentations and  workshops on their efforts to continue a healing of the North American heart.

In 2002, they created  the "Samai Lodge", a  place dedicated to support the spiritual, emotional, and physical healing of the earth and all her living creatures . This center is located on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador , in the town of San Jose.
