Who We Are
Luke Jensen
Founder & CEO
Luke Jensen
Founder & CEO
Luke served in the Marine Corps for 6 and 2 years in the National Guard, deploying to Afghanistan for a year with an Airborne infantry unit. After his deployment Luke spent a number of years traveling and searching for his place in the world. His adventures took him to South America in 2014 where he started working with Shamans and plant medicines. During this time Luke started working with different neurotechnologies on himself, spending the next ten years studying the topic. A serendipitous meeting a few years ago brought Luke and his mentor Dr Richard Soutar together, sharing the same dream to combine plant medicine shamanism, neurofeedback and QEEG brain mapping. Luke has been living off and on in Peru for the last five years, and has been involved in brain research with plant medicines and shamanism.
Tiwaz Awakening is a cumulation of a vision and dream that Luke has had for many years. A place that brings adventure and physicality back to the plant medicine space while at the same time pushing forward our scientific understanding of what is possible in terms of human potential.

Bryce Goertzen
Curandero
Bryce has been a full time student of Amazonian plant medicine shamanism for the last 6 years. Hailing from Canada, Bryce was pursuing a career in music while working odd jobs to pay the bills. Feeling unfulfilled, he journeyed to the Amazon in 2016 to sit with ayahuasca. After experiencing genuine holistic healing after the trip, Bryce chose to dedicate himself to an apprenticeship to understand and utilize the mechanics of shamanic techniques for the sake of helping others to improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Bryce studied under renowned curandero Wiler Noriega Rodrigues for several years, dieting various plants and enduring the barrage of trials and challenges that come from a shamanic apprenticeship. Since earning the title of curandero, Bryce decided to open a private clinic called Down to Earth in Tarapoto, Peru with his girlfriend, Carole. Bryce has performed exorcisms, healed trauma, and cured back injuries.
