El Jardin de la Paz is a healing center located near Tarapoto Peru and is run by Ashley Avery and his Partner Lara. Trinity originally co-invested to buy the land for the center about a year and a half ago, but quickly thereafter Ashley recognized how much out of alignment Trinity was with anything they were doing at El Jardin de la Paz and since then Ashley and Lara have been making as many moves as possible to break away from anything to do with Trinity.

Also from Scott Montgomery from the above youtube link, in comments.

The place in Peru has put out their own media release
http://www.eljardindelapaz.com/#!Media-Release-El-Jardin-de-la-Paz-and-ayahuascahealingscom/cay8/56a968a10cf215a9bb9eacdd

The video by Scott is about 24 minutes long, he is being encouraged now to refine his message, and put out a concise statement. He says he and others are working on this.

I watched most of it and took notes on Scott's message:

Warning, this group Ayahuasca Healings is not legal.
They were misled and they are not doing their research

Stop immediately or run the risk of arrest and prosecution

Stop promoting that it is legal. Inform all customers right away.

This is not ethical. This is way too expensive. A brewed bottle of ayahuasca costs about $70, works out to about $6 a dose. Yet AH is charging $1,500 per person for these events.

If ayahuasca is about healing, no one should be turned away for lack of funds. AH is turning people away.

The use of tipis and drumming is just a facade. AH is not involving actual indigenous people.

AH has no trained elders. Actual elders are angry about what AH is doing.

AH is operating a propaganda machine. There is no use of consensus, no open discussion.

I believe Trinity's marketing campaign and practices are very dangerous also. Their events are by no means the key to enlightenment.

When someone has a bad trip, most likely Trinity will claim that it is their fault. That they weren't in the right head space etc. etc. And that they should do more - pay more.

Trinity's group is being so disrespectful to local tribal people. AH is being pretendian with tipis and drum music, while not actually talking with actual tribal councils such as the Puyallup.

I believe that in this context, Trinity and crew are poisoning their paying customers.

Trinity, through his various names, can be read up on through various online postings, including on travel forums. Other posters have strongly implied that Trinity must have been running drugs. Trinity did not clearly explain his huge swings in income and his very frequent travel along the same routes. He claimed instead that all this was due to his super ability to "manifest".
These swings in finances included having to hitchhike to a certain destination and then suddenly have so much money that he was asking for the best locations for partying, beautiful women, and expensive dining with bottle service.

On one of Trinity's past website endeavors:

A Closer Look [reset.me]

An excellent critique of Ayahuasca Healings

[www.forums.ayahuasca.com] Forum discussion includes reports from former members of Trinity's group.
Many participants in the first event left unhappy. Workers say they were taught to manipulate potential customers. Conditions are bad out on the land, cold and muddy. Trinity is at the top of the hierarchy and he is not sharing financial information with anyone else.

Workers are being mistreated, customers are unhappy, locals are concerned. And because the whole enterprise is illegal, everyone is in danger.

Christopher "Trinity" de Guzman is behaving like a charismatic leader using coercive persuasion to make monery.


Ayahuasca Healings is NOT legal is a public Facebook group [m.facebook.com] which includes information from observers and former members.

AH has gone through several incarnations. Currently everything seems to be run through Trinity's business in B.C. Canada - Your Highest Truth Healings, Inc.

A past incarnation, which might still be used [www.sos.wa.gov] The Marc Roland Shackman listed is the "shaman" of the group. The address is where the land is, this looks to be part of a larger parcel that is for sale. Perhaps they are leasing, or Trinity directs workers to do free labor on the property in exchange for rent.

Rural land, frozen earth, very difficult conditions for unprepared workers and customers.

Locals surely remember what past cultic groups have done, such as Rajneesh to Antelope, Oregon. And the current militia standoff in Oregon. Rural land and communities harmed by destructive group outsiders.

Good article on the group, includes quotes from knowledgeable people who state that Ayahuasca Healings in Elbe, Washington is a sham.

Past business endeavors by Marc Roland Shackman in U.K include Kupuri Native Roots Foundation and Soul Projects [www.checkcompany.co.uk]
