We are challenged by our environment and growing up in a rural area, the countryside or a small town is one of them. Some of us get trapped in our heads, resistant to change, engage in small talk, sharing toxic stories about others because we have nothing more interesting in our lives to talk about.

Ayahuasca is a powerful ancient psychedelic medicine used by the indigenous people of Central & South America that offers emotional, physical, mental, spiritual healing and awareness along with having the power to help bring humanity closer to our truth, unlock possibilities and show us our infinite potential. Completed in Peru deep in the Amazon Jungle it was the experience of a lifetime, 16 ceremonies in silence and isolation participating in the Shipibo diet called the Dieata. No sugar, no salt, no meat, no dairy, no touching others, no masterbation, in isolation, and zero talking to others. Just me, paper, pens, crayons, a bed, a mosquito net and the voices inside my head. One of the toughest challenges I have ever put myself through but also one of the most rewarding.
