Document the mind of a 90 year old Peruvian Amazon Shaman before her knowledge of natural rainforest medicine/healing is lost forever.
With this film I want to document all the knowledge that Pashkita has gathered over her 90 years of life in the jungle, while healing others with the plants and animals around her. I also want to tell her unique and amazing story. She is the most powerful human I have ever met. She is the last of a dying breed with an epic life and upon her death, all this knowledge will be lost forever. Knowledge the public and medical community should learn.
She lives alone. Her husband (a once powerful shaman as well) was cursed by a black shaman and ran around the jungle naked while consistently attempting to kill her until he mysteriously died. Her husband before this also died a tragic death. What happened? It all depends on who you ask. He either was lost forever in the jungle, fell from his boat while night fishing and drowned, or was seduced by mermaids that tempted him into their underwater realm for eternity.
Upon your request I will be honored to send you a copy of a story I wrote about her. If you have any questions that the video did not cover please feel free to contact me personally. www.RustyJohnson.tv
Thank you so much for your consideration,
Rusty Johnson
