Castaneda's first book in the Don Juan series. He meets Don Juan and is introduced to his magical world and philosophy by means of hallucinogenic plants and special exercises.
The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge was published in 1968 as a work of anthropology. It was written by Carlos Castaneda and submitted as his master’s thesis in the school of anthropology. It reportedly documents the events that took place during an apprenticeship he claimed to have served with a self-proclaimed Yaqui Indian Sorcerer, don Juan Matus, between 1960 and 1965.
The teachings of don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey: the first awesome steps on the road to becoming a "man of knowledge".
The staff are fantastic, the environment healing and I leave feeling rejuventated despite the fact that I am leading the course....
