87 - Becoming an Ayahuasca Shaman | Michael Peterson
Show Notes

Michael is currently studying Ayahuasca and Tobacco under maestros from the Mestizo lineages in Perú and Guatemala. The Ayahuasca Family Training Mandala begins as an intensive personal development program with basic shamanic training in Level 1.  Then, if completed through Level 4, the program will yield a complete apprenticeship and initiation into the Ayahuasca Family shamanic lineage.  This is such that the graduate will be capable of serving and facilitating small Ayahuasca ceremonies and shamanic dietas at a superlative level of mastery. Michael is almost finished with this program.

Topics Discussed:

  • Micheal's call to work with Ayahuasca
  • How he describes what he is doing
  • What he is learning from Ayahuasca
  • What it is like to experience Ayahuasca
  • How would you describe the experience of Ayahuasca?
  • The Shamanic Dieta and the importance of this while studying Ayahuasca
  • Thoughts on motivation via love vs. pain
