Jason Martin, the co-founder of the Starseed Center for Yoga and Healing, has written a new book that closely aligns to his own life story. In his novel Voluptua, released last week, a young university professor travels to Peru to study with a shaman. Martin, a former professor of medieval studies and comparative literature, has been involved in Amazonian shamanism for more than 20 years. With his late wife, Jyoti Chrystal, he ran Starseed Yoga for more than 20 years until he sold it after Chrystal’s death in 2009.
