Jose Vila

Josep Vila, born in Sabadell near Barcelona, began his professional life in a technical field as a successful entrepreneur. A personal health crisis led him to seek healing beyond the scope of conventional medicine, ultimately guiding him to the traditions of Amazonian plant medicine.

Through his encounters with the wisdom of the Peruvian Amazon, Josep experienced profound personal healing and discovered his capacity to support others in their own processes. For more than three decades, he has been working with what he calls “master plants,” dedicating his life to facilitating healing and self-discovery through non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Deeply rooted in the traditions of the Amazon, Josep maintains an ongoing relationship with indigenous lineages, traveling regularly to the Peruvian rainforest to connect with experienced practitioners and accompany those who wish to engage with this work in its original context.

His approach is grounded in humility and service. Rather than positioning himself as a healer in the conventional sense, he consistently emphasizes the importance of the inner healing intelligence within each person. His guiding principle—“El maestro eres tú” (“You are the master”)—reflects his commitment to empowering individuals to trust their own inner guidance.

Josep facilitates groups across Spain and other parts of Europe, including Ireland and Austria, often within organically formed communities that arise around this work. His focus includes supporting individuals working with addiction, depression, and processes of deep personal transformation.

He is also a Stan Grof certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator and the author of Let It Happen: A Path of Healing through Ayahuasca and Master Plants of the Peruvian Amazon.

Known for his deep humanity, humility, and unwavering dedication, Josep embodies a path of service that continually points back to the inner teacher within each individual.
