Episode 179 - On April 19, 2018, in the village of Victoria Gracia, a community close to Pucallpa in Peru\u2019s central Amazon region of Ucayali, a man got off his motorcycle. He walked toward the home of Olivia Arevalo Lomas, an 81-year-old shaman and respected elder in her community. The man was irate over a debt owed to him by the woman\u2019s son. After firing a warning shot that drew a crowd of neighbours, the elderly healer came out of her house. After a bit of yelling back and forth, the man gunned the woman down with two shots from his pistol, killing her in broad daylight.\n\nThe man, later identified as Sebastian Paul Woodroffe, a 41-year-old British Columbian in Peru as an Ayahuasca researcher, was pursued by villagers who publicly lynched him. A cellphone recorded his killing, and the user later posted the video to Facebook. Woodroffe\u2019s body was buried in a shallow grave. Two Peruvian men were later arrested for Woodroffe\u2019s slaying.\n\nWhat led this man, known to his friends as a gentle, helpful soul, to such a brutal crime?Sources:[Descent into darkness | CBC News][Blurred Vision: A Shaman\u2019s Murder Exposes the Dark Side of Ayahuasca][The Cull of Personality Ebook - Kevin Tucker \u2014 Black and Green Press]https://retreat.guru[Preparing for Ayahuasca Ceremony - The Uncensored Guide][Ayahuasca, dimethyltryptamine, and psychosis: a systematic review of human studies][Sebastian Woodroffe \u2014 YouTube Channel][Sebastian Woodroffe \u2014 Facebook][Improving \xa0On Addiction Help | Indiegogo \u2014 Sebastian Woodroffe][Sebastian Woodroffe - VICE][Global News \u2014 SEARCH: Sebastian Woodroffe][Sebastian Woodroffe video | CBC.ca][YouTube \u2014 Murder investigation in the jungle - The Fifth Estate][Hallucinogenic Plants and Their Use in Traditional Societies - An Overview | Cultural Survival][(PDF) \U0001f4c4 The Consumption of Psychoactive Plants in Ancient Global and Anatolian Cultures During Religious Rituals: The Roots of the Eruption of Mythological Figures and Common Symbols in Religions and Myths][Ayahuasca Retreat Peru, Traditional Retreat Center in the Amazon of Peru][Tragedy in Pucallpa: the Death of Maestra Olivia Ar\xe9valo - Temple of the Way of Light][Peruvian mob kills Canadian man accused of killing respected shaman | Daily Mail Online][Terence McKenna - Self Transforming Elf Machines - YouTube][\u201cMachine Elves\u201d or \u201cDMT Elves\u201d: A Spirit World Journey | DoubleBlind Mag][Canadian lynched in Peru after being accused of shaman\u2019s death | Peru | The Guardian][All evidence shows B.C. man lynched in Peru had shot and killed Indigenous healer: prosecutor | CBC News][Woodroffe remembered by neighbours as \u2018spiritual, loving, kind and polite\u2019 \u2013 Comox Valley Record][Briton Unais Gomes killed by Canadian Joshua Andrew Freeman Stevens in Peru | Daily Mail Online][The Canadian Man Who Killed a British Guy at an Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru Speaks Out]\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine\nLearn more about your ad choices.
