Integral guidance for ceremonial experiences and the path ahead.

 

Hello and Welcome.

My name is Alan Scheurman. I’ve been living and learning within Medicine Traditions since 2007. I’ve spent more than a decade with my Shipibo-Konibo Maestros, Sina and Emilio Ramirez, undertaking years of plant and tree diets, in addition to facilitating group visits to the Amazon and guiding ceremonies in multiple communities.

I’m also a husband, father, musician, and writer who recognizes that power plants and fungi, taken within a sacred container, have the ability to merge with your unique character, to enhance your best qualities and correct behaviors that distract from life-affirming actions.

This path is not without very difficult tests that can temporarily lead to confusion, jadedness, fear and rash decision-making, but with the proper guidance it should always blossom into empowerment, health and the awakening of your own innate gifts. It’s my work to see your highest potential — your wholeness — and to clarify your experiences so that your journey is supported with initiated and centered guidance.

Seek Initiated Spiritual Mentorship

Whether you’re contemplating your first ceremony, need to process a difficult or confusing experience with plant medicine, seeking clarification and support about life-changing insights from a ceremonial vision, interested in the path of learning through plant diets, are facilitating ceremonies and could benefit from speaking with another practitioner to debrief confidentially, or simply looking for reflections on spiritual questions in general, Koshi Mentorship is here to be of service and meet you wherever you are on your unique path.

synthesis

/sǐn/thǐ-sǐs/

noun

  1. The combining of separate elements or substances to form a coherent whole.

  2. The complex whole so formed.

  3. Formation of a compound from simpler elements.

Synthesis is our community membership portal. Below you’ll see different tiers. There’s also a fourth option for those seeking more personal one on one mentorship. But what exactly does it entail?

We meet as a group twice per month. This is not a course, nor a mystery school. You’ll receive no certification. This isn’t a “shamanic training” or initiation. Each call will begin by covering a topic. For instance, 5 Reasons Why You Don’t Actually Want To Be A Shaman, or Practical Rituals and Tools for Energetic Protection and Clearing, or Ayahuasca and Astrology… You get the idea. We’ll then break out into questions and discussion and wrap it up with a closing prayer.

For those who sign up for meetings twice monthly, the second call will be a bit more intimate, with more space for specificity in questions. These calls will also inform (with community input) the topic for the next larger group call. Action steps and a little homework will be given once a month. We’ll also occasionally feature truly distinguished guests (almost like a live podcast). And, I wouldn’t be willing to put all this work in if it wasn’t going to be fun.

Over the last decade I’ve had the opportunity to provide my services for an incredible array of talented and inspiring people. This is an opportunity to begin weaving some of these energies together for mutual support and deeper community connection. I’m also finally stepping out of my own shell here and giving everyone access to information, teachings and wisdom that has only been available for those of you who’ve had access to my ceremonial work.

Most importantly, synthesis is here with grounded, creative tools for integration, whether you’re working with plant medicines or not. It’s open to everyone. It’s designed to be able to drop in at any time. There is no beginning.

"I was lucky enough to have participated in 3 sessions with Alan. At that time I was going through a really hard divorce from an abusive relationship. I feel beyond grateful for the healings I received in these sessions and guidance to have overcome all the difficulties I was going through at that time. Thankful for his dedication for this path, his music and magical icaros. This will always be remembered as a huge gift in my life." -Sophia U

"Overall, my experience with Alan and his medicine has been a deep familiarization with grief. Through this, I came to understand that grief is one of the greatest expressions of love. And this expression, for me, was the key to unlocking the heart and opening to potentialities that I never anticipated. I am forever grateful for Alan for creating the space to do this work, the greatest accomplishment of my life, and for being my witness. Beyond ceremony, Alan has a depth of spiritual knowledge beyond anyone else I know personally; all based on his own personal experience and years of study under indigenous elders and teachers. Finally, the music that comes through him in ceremony is beyond words. If you know, you know ;)" - Rashel T

"A SUPER wizard! He’s not only extremely talented and well-educated but also carries with him a deep respect for (many) indigenous medicine traditions. His unique connection with the medicine is both relatable and tangible to me. Despite me having rocky start in this world, he persisted with belief in our journey together and stood tough by me these past 5 years. He has become more than a trusted teacher, he’s a truly a cherished friend. His commitment to honoring his truth and character is admirable. You can ask him any question and he probably has the answer or knows of a way to figure it out!" - Austin S

"Ronin Koshi (Alan) is a special and gifted teacher, artist, ceremonialist and ally on the medicine path. Alan brings artistry, humor, integrity and wisdom that comes only from many years of dedicated study to his offerings and shares generously in a safe, approachable container. Many of us will never be able to repay him for his service and inspiration to make the most of what we can with this precious life." - Laura F

"Working with Alan has helped to get through blockages in life in a way that is patient, kind, neutral, and safe. In other situations working with other people, this has often not been the case. In trying to look at the things that are hard to look at, hard to admit, and hard to sort out, Alan’s style and approach has brought levity, sobriety, and humility that has made it possible to move forward in many areas of life. With much gratitude and respect, I would recommend working with Alan towards personal growth, education, and healing." - Jesse W

"I've been on the medicine path for 10 years and have been working with Alan for about 7 years. In my time with him my understanding of this path has exponentially grown and shifted in only good ways. He's the first and only facilitator I've worked with that opens up "school" during the journey. His teachings are like gold nuggets of clarity that are especially helpful while in the effect. His dedication to continuous learning is an extremely valuable trait. He also knows when to sit back and let you figure things out on your own, giving the guidance or nudge when appropriate. He's shared many tools with me over the years and he takes a straight forward approach in helping me see my blind spots and make adjustments. He's tought me how to properly work with sacred tobacco, navigate diets, make plant baths, interpret dreams, release addiction, lessons in reciprocity, and protect my energy. I'm grateful for his continued studies, support and for his presence in my life." -Manny M
