Following a new path — one still rooted in story, spirit, and global impact — she has spent the past few years as a student of Huachuma, herbalism, and the healing arts.
Robbie Wilkie – Producer
Robbie Wilkie is an engineer, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, musician, and producer (Robot Teeth) from Melbourne, Australia. After fifteen years of cultivating Huachuma on the other side of the world, he moved to Peru for deeper exploration — and now documents its story through film.
Collaborators and Advisors
The Huachuma Stories is made in collaboration with indigenous healers, ethnobotanists, conservationists, and cultural guardians across Peru, Bolivia, and the United States. The film is being developed with deep respect for traditional protocols and ecological reciprocity, guided by ongoing relationships with the communities whose stories it tells.
