Conscious Conversations

Ep 21. Nico Canon on Spiritual Awakenings, Ayahuasca, Integration, & Relationships

LanaRose Season 1 Episode 21

In Episode 21 of Conscious Conversations, I sit down with Nico Canon — mentor, guide, and co-founder of Ayahuasca Colombia — to explore some of the deepest questions on the spiritual path.

We talk about:

What spiritual awakening truly means (beyond the glamorized idea)

The terror and beauty of shedding old identities

What grounded spirituality looks like in daily life

How desire can blur into entitlement — especially for men with power, status, or money

The role of romantic relationships as mirrors for our own healing

If you’ve ever wondered:
👉 Why awakening can feel like everything is falling apart
👉 How to stop chasing peak experiences and embody what you’ve learned
👉 Why integration is the real work
👉 Or how relationships reflect the places we still have to grow

This conversation is for you.
