First I’ll give you the surface details. If you are interested to know the deeper details, please see below.

I was born at the end of 1979. I grew up in a suburb outside of Toronto, Canada. My father is a clinical psychologist and my mother is a fitness instructor. My father has been working as a psychotherapist for Canadian veterans for the past 15 years.

I lived a very privileged and trauma-free life.

I attended an all-boys private school, St. Andrew’s College, from 1990 to 1998.

I studied literature and psychoanalysis at Yale University, getting my B.A. in 2002.

My shamanic calling arrived in 1999, during my second year of University.

I started studying sacred mushrooms and various psychedelics in 2003.

I studied Depth (Jungian) Psychology, Mythology and Education at the Pacifica Graduate Institute, getting my M.A. in 2009.

I began my initiation into the lineage of Santo Daime (an entheogenic, shamanic Christian tradition that uses transubstantiated ayahuasca as a sacrament) starting in 2007.

Since then (over the past 16 years) I have participated in approximately 700 Santo Daime ceremonies, in Brazil, Canada, the United States, and Peru, making frequent visits to my elders to continue my training and initiation.

In 2016 I created The School of Modern Soul Science - an online school devoted to guiding Westerners going through modern day initiatory crisis. The curriculum draws on Jungian psychology, shamanic studies, Western alchemy and esotericism, mythology, and Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy.

In 2019 I moved to the Sacred Valley of Peru with my wife and daughter. That same year we opened the first Santo Daime center in Peru. Since then we've been conducting regular ceremonial works, and nurture a thriving spiritual community.

I have been leading ceremonies (and making and serving the medicine) for the past 4 years.

In late 2023 I received a strong spiritual call to work with veterans. And so the Sol Invictus program came together very quickly.

I have never been exposed to war on the physical plane. So why then would I feel this calling to do healing work with veterans?

All I can say is that I received a sacred calling to do this work. It was most unexpected, but when the calling arrived, it was so clear that I could not deny it. Even though I am heading into new and uncharted territory, I go forward with faith that my shamanic training and initiation has prepared me for this new stage of work.

I don't want to assume you are interested to hear more details about my life; about my spiritual journey. And I only want to share this more intimate information about myself with people who are seriously interested in the program.

So how about this? How about, if you are seriously considering this program, and you want to learn more about me, where I'm coming from, what I've been through, what is my shamanic training and qualification, whether or not you can trust me, etc...

...then please enter your email address below, and I will send you short documents telling you more about myself. 

The first document is called "Modern Shamanic Hero's Journey" and tells the story of my initiation and what inspired me to create the Sol Invictus program.

The second document addresses an important question that you should always ask when considering to do entheogenic work with a shaman: "Is Andrew Camargo Trustworthy?"
