About Chris:

Chris Young, Co-Founder, Medicine Man, Purveyor of Tribal Medicine. Founder/Spiritual Guide and Medicine Man Chris founded Soul Quest in September 2013 and established its foundation in April 2015. At a young age Chris felt the call to help others so In 1996 he obtained a certificate in Phlebotomy and Medical assisting where he then worked in a geropsychiatric Unit. In 1997 Chris went back to school to study Emergency Medicine and received a certificate for “EMT” where he worked as an ER tech at a local Hospital.

Chris decided to learn more about alternative Medicine. So, he moved to Germany where he spent three years studying in Europe, he gained extensive experience with Sacred Plant Medicine and Plant medicine ceremonies where he found his spiritual religion Ayahuasca. After attending to many Ayahuasca religious Ceremonies he received the calling to bring the medicine to his homeland “The United States” to open an Ayahuasca Church and begin the teachings of the Ayahuasca Manifesto as well as bringing the miraculous healings of the spirit of Ayahuasca to everyone there.
