Caiyuda is a wilderness rites guide, ceremonial facilitator and multidisciplinary practitioner within the shamanic healing arts for awakening and higher consciousness.
With over a decade on the medicine path, his syncretic approach weaves together a unique blend of practices, principles and traditions - bridging shamanic experience, ceremonial initiation rites, modern and ancient philosophy, holistic vitality, rewilding skills, deep wilderness immersion and grounded spirituality.
At the core of his offerings is a question: how can we walk a path aligned to our greater mission, vision, purpose, power and potential, in a world severely fragmented from soul and spirit?
His work seeks to answer that through grounded and powerful practices - integrating ancient wisdom into modern relevance. He bridges the seen and unseen, the ordinary and mystical, the ceremonial and the practical, guiding others to remember their place within the great mystery.
Caiyuda’s intention is to help others awaken their “wild genius” - the unique inner blueprint from which purpose, creativity, and vision naturally unfold. His facilitation has supported well over a thousand individuals through ceremonial processes, shamanic initiation, and wilderness expeditions across multiple continents.
He works across many layers - offering pathways to reclaim personal power, sharpen intuitive wisdom, activate subtle perception, master inner energy, and reconnect to heart, soul and spirit.
In the digital realm, he hosts the podcast Birdsong with Caiyuda, which explores the themes of nature awareness, shamanic practice, initiatory rites, deep ecology, grounded spirituality, holistic wellness, honouring the sacred, and the budding paradigm of new earth leadership.
The podcast’s first season reached over 20,000 downloads and continues to draw insightful conversations with visionary guides, earth stewards, and wisdom keepers across the planet.
He is also a published author, experienced workshop leader, and public speaker, with qualifications in Wilderness First Aid, Psycho-Spiritual Maturation & Addiction Recovery Coaching, and a Diploma in Naturopathy.

EARTH HONOURING TRADITIONS & SHAMANIC INITIATIONS
Caiyuda was initiated into the world of plant-based shamanism as a Spirit Quest Alumni, under the late maestro Don Howard Lawler in the Peruvian Andes. Over the course of six years, he consistently returned to Peru to learn from numerous Huachumeros and Q’ero elders - studying the wisdom of the mountains, the medicine of cactus, and the ceremonial traditions of curanderismo.
Beyond Peru, his path has been shaped by mentors across the Americas, Australia, Asia, and the Mediterranean - synthesizing diverse streams of shamanism, mysticism, contemplative practice, passage rites and earth honouring ceremonial traditions. His work supports the broader path of cultural regeneration, embodied leadership, and soul-rooted initiation in contemporary life.
His Vision Quest Guide training stems from various traditions, most noticeable under the tutelage of The School of Lost Borders, founded by Steven Foster and Meredith Little, and the Southern Lipan Apache Stalking Wolf lineage.
Continuing with the Stalking Wolf tradition, as passed down through Tom Brown Jr, he expanded his knowledge in the field of wilderness survival and nature-awareness skills through Nature Philosophy, completing their Nature Connection Teacher Training program.
A father to two young daughters, Caiyuda likes to remain close to the valleys, mountains and crystal clear waters that nourish his heart, soul and spirit.
