Her work starts by doing research in nature, followed by capturing it under microscopes and then starting to work on paintings that express these microscopic observations as well as what has been recorded in the field. Her family comes from the jungle in Peru and through her Amazonian heritage, Caro embraces the notion that we are all connected, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, and embracing our unity with nature in our daily lives. Through her paintings and videos she invites us to cultivate more love towards ourselves and our planet in order to stay creative, curious and aligned with our purpose in the world.   In This Episode: Caro Arevalo | www.carolina-arevalo.com Discount code "fourvisions" |  @caro.arevalo | Youtube cafeinacoli Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa   Today's episode is sponsored by Clareia Das Aguas (FVFAMILY for 10%).  Luminous Channeled Creations from the Garden. ✨

Join us as we delve into the transformative power of plant medicine with Melissa Stangl, the co-founder of Soltara Healing Center. Melissa holds a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, USA. After several years conducting brain and lung cancer research and gaining managerial experience across a wide range of businesses, her interests turned toward the healing power and responsible use of plant medicines and psychedelics, and working with the wisdom traditions and cultures that steward them. In 2015, she consciously chose to leave Corporate America and moved to live and work in the Amazon jungle. Melissa's own healing journey and desire to support others led her to co-create Soltara Healing Center, an ayahuasca center working with Shipibo healers in Costa Rica and Peru, with a focus on integration. We talk a lot about the importance of safe sanctuary in the plant medicine journey, and the extensive post-retreat integration experience offered by Soltara, providing tools such as habit trackers, rituals, therapist consultations, and accountability buddies to support individuals on their healing path. Emphasizing a heart-centered approach and the interconnectedness of communities, this episode highlights the profound impact of collective consciousness and a new perspective that prioritizes the well-being of all beings involved in the healing process.   In This Episode: Melissa Stangl  | @soltarahealingcenter |@melissalynnestangl  Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa This podcast is brought to you by Four Visions Website | fourvisions.com Instagram| @fourvisionstribe Facebook | Four Visions Youtube | Four Visions Nominate a podcast guest!
