Welcome back to the continued adventure of my ayahuasca adventures. This time I went to Guatemala less than 3 months after my first retreat in Costa Rica to get clarity. That clarity I wanted, was if I am truly being called to continue to down the medicine path, meaning, to learn to become a facilitator to serve ayahuasca. This is no easy path. On this path I will be torn limb from limb, have every crevice of my heart excavated and light shone upon everything I'd never want to look at yourself, let alone have anyone else see. One doesn’t put him or herself through that for no reason. I take this path seriously, I respect the medicine, and my intentions for coming to La Familia Ayahuasca in Guatemala was to see if my ego was the one talking or if it was a true calling. I discuss the 4 ayahuasca ceremonies (the last 2 in this episode), the shamanic plant dieta, the transformational healing, the insight, the perfect lessons and the magical experience of being deep in the jungle, all alone. Divided into 2 parts, this is the story...
I know this one is a longer than my usual podcast episode length, but it is PACKED full of good stuff, including a poem I wrote, and also a song I wrote called, River, on the guitar at the very end.
