Podcasts about Sacred Valley

Trust the path. Let it all unfold. Just release the control.   This is the mantra the medicine gave me in the Sacred Valley of Peru and it became the song I have been sitting with ever since. And now it is finally here.   In this solocast I am sharing the story behind Trust the Path, my new single, and everything the dark night of the soul taught me about surrendering to the unknown. Because the void is not something to rush through or fix. It is the fertile ground that everything most beautiful in your life comes from.   In this episode we explore:

Hey everybody! Episode 196 of the show is out. This episode is a podcast I was interviewed on called The Evolving Man Podcast hosted by Ben Goresky. Ben has a great podcast I was happy to come on his platform and speak about my work with tobacco and trees. He is involved in similar fields and so has a good knowledge of these subjects and was able to lead a really good interview and bring out some good subjects from within me. I really appreciated his style, presence and questions and I hope you gain some insight from this interview. And if this interview resonates please consider supporting his work.

Hey everybody! Episode 195 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with White Walking Feather, also known as Rob in the Pagé family. WWF is a deeply fascinating man. I was very grateful he came on the show to share his story and wisdom. After struggling in life he found a calling of what it meant to be a truly free person. He emancipated himself from the system of governance that seeks to control us, returning all of his identity documents, stopped paying taxes, or receiving any benefits from the State. He questioned deeply what it means to be in relationship and trust ultimately in Spirit. He now lives off-grid and helps to educate people in the Art of Peace and what it means to be a truly free human and spiritual being. I have a deep respect for the work he is doing and think he is a visionary and shaman in his own right. This may seem like a strange topic but I think its actually at the root of all spiritual practices around the world. And thank you to my friend Shonagh Home for the introduction.

Hey everybody! Episode 194 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Robert Gourlay. Robert is a scientist, in, I think, the best definition of that word, someone who is an innovator, a pioneer, a philosopher, and who looks at the world through a holistic lens. He has dedicated his life to the study of water and how structured, negatively charged water supports and helps humans and life to flourish. We spoke about his background, how an NDE helped to open him to his passion for water, what structured water is and the benefits, how to improve health through water, water on a micro and macro scale, climate science, and much more. It was a fascinating conversation, and I really think Robert is doing amazing work in the field of water and life and has much wisdom to share to help to improve people's lives on the individual and collective levels.

Hey everybody! Episode 193 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Jessica Begin. I have known Jessica for many years since we met working together at the Amazonian Shipibo ayahuasca center, The Temple of the Way of Light. Jessica has dedicated her life to a deep spiritual curiosity and calling. For many years, she has apprenticed with a well-known and respected family of Shipibo maestras, where she also helps to run their center. She has a deep and experiential knowledge of the plant medicine world, and we spoke about her journey into Santo Daime, the Shipibo lineage, the Tubu, ayahuasca, dieta, wisdom, and visions of the future. It was really a pleasure for me to reconnect with Jessica, and I know you all will gain much from her wisdom.

We didn't go looking for magic on this day. It came looking for us.Part 3 of our Peru recap covers the day everything stopped being coincidence. A shaman we didn't plan to meet gave us a private worldview lesson in his shop. The tarot cards on the train predicted the exact day before it happened — mountain, woman walking, flowers in a bunch. And then a full ceremonial procession appeared on the trail behind us, with a shaman, musicians, animal masks, and chairs — heading to the same waterfall we were. Our guide Tina, who is Quechua and has guided these trails her whole life, had never seen this ceremony happen. Ever.And then they pulled us into it.We also cover the Pisac village and ruins, lunch with the Amaru people high in the Andes, the most magical train ride of our lives through the Sacred Valley, and arriving at Aguas Calientes before heading up to Machu Picchu — which gets its own episode because it deserves it.If you've been following this series you know Peru kept proving itself. This is the episode where it stopped being subtle about it. Want to experience this kind of magic yourself? We have trips open now — Germany this fall and Costa Rica next spring. Links in bio.

What happens when a world-ranked fighter and coach to champions realizes that his toughest battle isn't in the cage, but within his own soul? In this episode, we sit down with Lance Gibson Senior—a veteran of the UFC and mixed martial arts, actor, and founder of The Fearless Way. Lance shares his incredible journey from overcoming racism in Canada to becoming a pioneer in the early days of MMA. We dive deep into the "26-year legacy" of his son, Lance Gibson Jr., who mirrored his father's historic knockout victory exactly 26 years later to the month. Lance also opens up about his transformative healing journey in the jungles of Peru, where he traded the physical armor of a "protector" for spiritual clarity and purpose. Whether you are looking to master your own resilience or seeking a deeper understanding of the "spiritual fighter," this conversation offers a roadmap for leading with calm confidence and purpose. Key Takeaways: ·  Calm Confidence: True fearlessness is leading with clarity and purpose, reframing past hardships into the foundation of current strength. ·  The Power of Legacy: The "26-year mirror" knockout achieved by Lance's son underscores the deep impact of generational discipline and shared values. ·  Healing the Protector: Strong individuals must periodically "drop their armor" to process grief and fatigue; seeking spiritual maintenance is essential to avoid burnout. ·  Vibrational Focus: Maintaining peak performance requires guarding your environment and tuning out external noise or social media negativity. ·  Integrated Mastery: Elite physical performance and deep spiritual practice are not mutually exclusive; they are mutually reinforcing components of a "spiritual warrior.

Hey everybody! Episode 192 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Paul Austin. I was recently on Paul's podcast, Third Wave, and was happy to welcome him on mine. We sat down and spoke about his background, being raised in a very religious family and how his early experiences with psychedelics began to shift his worldview, his work with micro-dosing, practitioner training, religion, plants, legalization, and a number of other topics. Paul speaks from a place of having been immersed in this field for many years and has thought deeply about a lot of these topics. I'm sure you'll gain a lot from this one.

In the second installment of our Paths Less Traveled series, Stacy Blackman interviews Terry Cumes and Tristen Langley, a married couple who share how the same Stanford GSB foundation led one to global wellness entrepreneurship and the other to top-tier technology investing — and what this says about career optionality, partnership, and long-term impact. Here are the full bios for these amazing interviewees: Tristen Langley has over twenty-three years of experience in venture capital, operations, M&A and equities research with leading international investment and technology companies.

Hey everybody! Episode 188 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Marta Wanderlust for her second appearance on the podcast—the first was five years ago, back in episode 16. Since then, Marta has become a mother of two, and this conversation centers largely on motherhood and the birthing process. We explore the parallels between birth and plant medicine ceremonies, birth as an initiation and threshold, the medicalization of childbirth and its downsides, and how birth itself can be a path to God. Marta also speaks to the role of Christ and faith, the reclamation of women's sovereignty, and what that return of power could mean for a society less dependent on institutions and hierarchy. This was a deeply fascinating conversation about life, and Marta's grounded, experiential wisdom truly shines through. I trust you'll gain a lot from this one.

Hey everybody! Episode 187 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Nathan Bryan. Dr. Bryan is a doctor who has spent much of his life studying the effects and benefits of the molecule nitric oxide and its relationship to health. We spoke about how he first came to know it, the correlation and potential causation of a lack of nitric oxide in various health conditions, ways to improve endogenous production, the role of the oral microbiome in health, and holistic health in general.

Mark McCartney is an Irish-born coach, host of the acclaimed What Is a Good Life podcast with nearly 300 conversations, and facilitator who helps leadership teams move from performative to genuine authenticity through presence, silence, and radical honesty.3:00 Mark describes his early career in corporate banking and capital markets in Ireland and Canada, passing the CFA Level I but realizing finance wasn't his calling: "If I do the next versions of this, I just haven't had a better idea yet as to what I want to do with my life."5:00 The New York Stock Exchange bell-ringing moment—what looked like a career peak became the catalyst for leaving finance. "I felt like a bit of an imposter where people really seemed to love their work."7:00 Mark's sabbatical to India—meditation, ashrams, Vipassana—and the surprise of meeting his future wife in McLeod Ganj, proposing within five weeks. Ten years later, the story holds.10:00 Turning down a 40% pay increase after a body-scan meditation revealed total clarity. His wife's response: "Yeah, I know you can't. It's fine." They sell everything and leave for Peru's Sacred Valley.15:00 Patterns from 300+ interviews on "What is a good life?"—the deeply individual nature of the answer, the importance of presence, and how people who say they're living a good life have often endured divorce, addiction, or depression.20:00 Authenticity as inner and outer coherence—not sharing everything, but no longer saying things your heart doesn't believe to be true. Tom Morgan reference: "When I said something that my heart didn't believe to be true, it hurt."25:00 Silent conversations explained—groups sit in silence for 10-45 minutes before speaking. Vulnerability isn't sharing your biggest trauma; it's sharing what's alive in this moment.32:00 Leadership teams moving from performative to genuine—creating conditions where defenses lower, elephants get named, and "I don't trust you right now" becomes a conversation starter, not a threat.39:00 Intellectual understanding as a "consolation prize"—the difference between reading Eckhart Tolle and embodying the teaching. "The lived experience of our life equates more to wisdom than sharing intellectual ideas."47:00 Belonging through attention—how a Peruvian woman's daily eye contact gave Mark a sense of home, and why belonging is built through tending to the people around you, not nationality.51:00 Transactional vs. relational living—Bogumil's infinite game tennis analogy and Mark's insight on the psychic toll of pretending something is important when it isn't.59:00 Mark's definition of success: spending days doing something you care about, being with people you love, and having the financial foundation to support it. "It feels like I've created the foundation for something that I hope to enjoy for many more years in this life."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Hey everybody! Episode 186 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Luis Eduardo Luna. Luis is one of the luminaries in the field of plant medicine as has a career that spans nearly seven decades. He has worked alongside and learned from some of the greats such as Richard Evans Schultes, R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hoffman, Pablo Amaringo, the McKenna's, Dolmatoff, and many more. We spoke about his life growing up in Colombia, his early years in a Catholic monastery, how a chance encounter with Terrance McKenna and ingesting yagé changed the course of his life and work, and the extraordinary life he lived and created as one of the pioneers of researching the idea of plant intelligence and how indigenous groups of the Americas used plants to shape their cosmosvisions. It was a fascinating conversation and I was very happy and honored to have Luis on.

Ai summary for seo ~ Latin America is a sprawling, high-contrast mosaic that defies any single label, offering a lifestyle that is as exhausting as it is exhilarating. To live here as a "gringo" is to enter a world where the social fabric is woven with deep-seated warmth and a collective resilience that prioritizes human connection over rigid schedules. Whether you are navigating the high-altitude Andean peaks or the humid pulse of a Caribbean coastline, you'll find a culture that operates on the "Tranquilo" principle—a fluid approach to time where bureaucracy is slow, but the coffee is fresh, the music is loud, and the people are genuinely curious about your story. It is a region that rewards the flexible and punishes the impatient. For those looking to plant roots, the "Gringo Trail" has evolved into a sophisticated network of hubs catering to different flavors of expatriate life. Mexico City and Medellín remain the heavyweights for digital nomads seeking cosmopolitan energy, world-class gastronomy, and robust infrastructure. Meanwhile, places like the Sacred Valley in Peru or the coastlines of Costa Rica offer a more soul-searching, "Pura Vida" existence focused on wellness and nature. In 2026, the influx of remote workers has pushed prices up in trendy neighborhoods like Roma Norte or El Poblado, but the cost of living still offers a "luxury-for-less" trade-off that is nearly impossible to find in the US or Europe, particularly regarding private healthcare and domestic services. However, the transition isn't always seamless, and "gringo" life requires a specific mental toolkit to navigate safely and respectfully. Safety is the most common concern, but it is often more about "situational awareness" than dodging cartels; it's about learning not to "give papaya"—local slang for not making yourself an easy target by flashing wealth. Beyond security, there is the hurdle of the "Gringo Tax," where foreigners are often quoted higher prices. Integration is the only cure for this; those who bother to learn the local Spanish (or Portuguese in Brazil) and respect the formal etiquette of the Usted find that the "foreigner" label eventually softens into that of a "local friend," unlocking a much deeper, more authentic version of the city. Ultimately, living in Latin America is an exercise in trading "First World" convenience for "Real World" vibrancy. You might lose a day to a confusing bank errand or a sudden power outage, but you'll gain a life filled with spontaneous Sunday asados, vibrant street markets, and a sense of community that makes the hyper-individualism of the North feel sterile by comparison. It is a place where the infrastructure might be crumbling in spots, but the spirit is unbreakable. If you can handle the noise, the spicy food, and the occasional chaos, it offers a richness of experience that makes it one of the most rewarding regions on earth to call home. #travel #travelblogger #nomad #latinamerica #expat #wifimoney

#401 In this episode, Guy talked with Julian Polzin, a former psychotherapist turned spiritual teacher, and shared his profound awakening experience that began while grieving on a graveyard bench in Germany, leading to a complete dissolution of ego and entry into samadhi.  Through deep meditation practices, he began remembering hundreds of past lives as a Buddhist monk and yogi, receiving downloads of ancient yogic systems and experiencing visions of Atlantis and its fall due to spiritual corruption and transhumanist technology. He explained how dark entities on the astral plane compete for human souls by offering temptations that disconnect people from divine will, and how the Buddhist system was designed to counteract the Atlantean karma of the hyperactive intellect separated from God. Julian warned that humanity is repeating the Atlantean pattern with AI, transhumanism, and recent technological interventions that disconnect individuals from divine current, leading to a timeline split between those who surrender to God and those who fall into ego gratification. Now based in Peru's Sacred Valley, he works to build a monastery and teaches proper spiritual discernment, emphasizing that true liberation requires total surrender, renunciation of worldly attachments, and the guidance of a genuine teacher assigned by divine will. About Julian: Julian practices and teaches Zen-Buddhist methods in combination with the Yogic realization process and various other mystical practices. On his spiritual path he opened himself to mystical insight. He experienced realization beyond physical experience which changed his therapeutic approach.  In 2021 he traveled to Nepal to meditate in holy places to experience the land, ancient energies and intelligences of a non-material nature. He practiced psychotherapy in Germany for seven years, but moved on from the method after experiencing the limitations of the psychotherapeutic framework.  Now he focusses on sharing spiritual teachings of direct inquiry to assist his clients in realizing themselves through the mystical experience.

Ahead of Pat Kenny's move to weekends at the beginning of March, we've delved into the archives to bring you some of the best pieces from his dozen-and-a-half years of mornings on Newstalk.High in the Andes the mountains rise in sheer ridges, their flanks cut with cliffs and ravines, their summits capped with snow. To the casual eye they seem forbidding, a landscape of rock and cloud where little could grow. Yet if you follow the river valleys upward into the Sacred Valley of the Incas you begin to see an extraordinary sight. The Inca Gardens of Ancient Peru. To tell us the story of the wonderful sight is Diarmuid Gavin, award winning garden designer.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Eva Hooft. Eva has an interesting story of being diagnosed with a number of childhood ailments that persisted into adulthood. After following a career in modeling she began to become disillusioned by her diagnoses and began a search into more holistic and integrative therapies. We spoke about her journey and a number of topics including her background, yoga, somatics, liver detoxification, mineral balancing, functional medicine, the power of the mind and beliefs, and much more. It was a really interesting conversation and I think her knowledge from her own discoveries, many interests, and what she has found working with others really shines.

One of the greatest surprises of this journey wasn't the visions, the purging, or even the revelations; it was the people. In just four days, strangers became family. Not metaphorically. Literally. People from different countries, histories, and wounds trusted one another with their tears, their truths, their breakdowns, and their rebirths. This episode explores one of the most important distinctions of the entire experience: the environment is not secondary to the medicine—the people are the medicine. Arkana is not just a retreat center; it is a living ecosystem designed to make it safe enough to stop performing and start being real. When judgment evaporates, and egos are checked at the door, something ancient reawakens. Trust becomes the air you breathe. Authenticity becomes effortless. Healing accelerates. By the third and final night of Ayahuasca, the work had shifted. There was no war. No descent. No funerals. Grandmother wasn't teaching anymore; she was integrating. Confirming. Blessing. What once felt overwhelming now appeared as memory, perspective, and clarity. The darkness was never removed; it was revealed as temporary. And for the first time, it became clear that both the darkness and the light were never happening to me. They were moving through me. Day Five introduced San Pedro, Huachuma, the Medicine of the Heart. Where Ayahuasca turns you inward to meet your shadows, San Pedro moves you outward into connection, unity, empathy, and love. Under the guidance of Alcides, a man who doesn't just tell stories but transmits truth, the group experienced something rare and unmistakable: collective heart coherence. Not symbolic. Not poetic. Physically real. Fourteen nervous systems beating as one. This episode captures the final transmission of the Sacred Valley: connection isn't something you create, it's what remains when you remove the barriers. The heart has always been unified. It's the ego that divides it. San Pedro didn't give us anything new; it revealed what had always been there beneath the masks, defenses, and personas. As the fire burned low beneath the Andean sky, one final truth became clear: plant medicine isn't the point, it's the doorway. Nothing fixes you. Nothing completes you. These medicines remove what was never yours to carry and reveal who you've been all along. This is the ceremony after the ceremony.And this is where the journey home truly begins. Make Sense?

Hey everybody! Episode 178 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Thomas Hatsis. Thomas' books were recommended to me a few times and he was introduced to me through a mutual friend, Peter Boghossian. Thomas wrote two very good books that I am familiar with (as well as a number of others) called The Witches Ointment and Psychedelic Mystery Traditions. We spoke about these themes including the foundation of Western mystery traditions, their potential entheogenic roots, plant medicines, magic, witches, and a lot of other really interesting topics. Thomas is doing very good work and I trust you all will gain a lot from his wisdom.

The Ruins, the Return, and the Realignment After two intense nights with Ayahuasca, Day Five brought a different kind of teacher: the Sacred Valley itself. In the ancient terraces of Pisac and the colossal stones of Ollantaytambo, I found a quiet wisdom that didn't speak in visions—but in presence, humility, and perspective. As I walked among mountain-carved ruins, burial sites, and engineering miracles we still can't explain, I began to understand my own “deaths” from the ceremonies as returns—returns to trust, patience, and truth. This unexpected excursion stirred a mix of sadness and gratitude as Thanksgiving approached and I felt the ache of being away from my family… while standing in the embrace of a new one. In this episode, I explore how ancient civilizations, unexpected emotions, and the right people at the right time can become medicine just as powerful as the plant itself—and how trust, not fear, becomes the compass for Night Three.

Episode 1 of 4 Part Series — Dying to Know: My Ayahuasca Experience Into the Sacred Valley of Peru This opening episode marks the true beginning of a five-part, raw, unfiltered account of my time working with plant medicine in the Sacred Valley of Peru at the Arkana Spiritual Center. Before any medicine was poured, before the visions or revelations, there was the quiet ache. The inner calling. The fear beneath the fear. The deep, restless sense that something in life still feels unfinished. Most people don't seek out Ayahuasca or Sapo because everything is perfect. They come because something inside them is dying to know, Who am I really? What is this life for? Did I miss something essential while trying to keep it all together? The paradox is that what we're dying to know is not “out there” somewhere in a jungle or temple. It's here, buried beneath layers of identity, protection, trauma, and roles that no longer serve us. Plant medicine doesn't teach you new information; it excavates. It dismantles the inner tyrant who insists life must be predictable and safe. It burns off outdated versions of the self so a truer knowing can rise. Ego death isn't your death; it's the death of everything blocking your access to truth. But the real challenge isn't the ceremony, it's integration. You can't pour awakened clarity back into the shape of an old life. Integration is about becoming the version of you that the medicine revealed and staying awake in a world designed to pull you back to sleep. This is why I came back to Peru, not for novelty or visions, but for the soul's quality control. To shed another layer, to die another small death, to remember something ancient living inside me. Something I had forgotten. This is the moment before the beginning.Where running stops.Where remembering starts.Where the real journey begins.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Sam Believ. Sam is an interesting guy. I was recently on his podcast and had him on mine. We spoke about Sam's past working as an engineer, his depression that eventually led him to ayahuasca or yagé, and how he eventually founded a center in Colombia. We spoke about these things and some of the culture in Colombia around the traditions and uses of yagé. It was a very interesting conversation and I think you all will gain a lot from Sam's story, his knowledge of yagé and Colombia, and his insights into this medicine.

Hey everybody! Episode 173 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Rael Inshan. Rael is an interesting guy who specializes in the amanita muscaria mushroom. I was really happy to have him on to speak about this sacred medicine as its not a topic I have covered much. We spoke about his difficult childhood and how that led him to South America to work with different indigenous medicine traditions. This eventually led him to discover the amanita muscaria mushroom in the woods near him and to begin working with it and to learn, firsthand, it's benefits. He speaks about the wisdom it has taught him about it's medicine on the individual level as well as the collective and a vision of a new earth that he feels the mushroom is guiding us towards.

Hey everybody! Episode 171 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Stephen Hussey. Stephen has a fascinating story of having survived a widow-maker heart attack in his 30s' He went on to deeply research the role of the heart and how to optimize its health. It led him on journey to question many of the fundamental assumption of what the heart its, it's role in the human organism, and how to keep it healthy. We speak about some of these fundamental assumptions, the role of structured water, infrared light, and the deeper meaning behind a purely physical model of the heart. This was a really fascinating conversation and I think Stephen has a lot of wisdom to share and you will gain much from his insights.

This week, we're thrilled to welcome Terry Cumes, Managing Director of the world-renowned retreat center Willka T'ika, nestled in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. Raised in the U.S. yet deeply rooted in the Andes through family and spirit, Terry bridges two worlds, blending modern Western sensibilities with the ancient wisdom of Andean cosmology.Terry takes us on a transformative journey through the lush landscapes and spiritual heart of the Sacred Valley, where mountains are revered as living deities and the Quechua people honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, through rituals of gratitude and reciprocity. He shares the remarkable story of his mother's vision to build Willka T'ika nearly 30 years ago, creating one of Peru's first luxury wellness sanctuaries devoted to yoga, nature, and the spiritual traditions of the Andes. What began as a family dream has evolved into a destination for seekers from around the world, drawn to its sacred gardens, ancient energy, and timeless wisdom.In this episode, we explore the essence of Andean cosmology, including its three worlds of spirit, earth, and underworld, its deep reverence for the mountains known as Apus, and the practice of ayni, a guiding principle of balance and reciprocity with the natural world. Terry also shares how his Western business training and his father's background in both medicine and shamanism inform his unique approach to leadership, wellness, and purpose.Join us for a rich and soulful conversation about finding harmony between modern life and ancient truth, reconnecting with the spirit of the earth, and discovering what it means to live in true reciprocity with the world around us.

We spoke about her journey with ayahuasca, her time working in an ibogaine clinic, her Bwiti initiations with iboga, ancestral lineages she has studied with, and some of the wisdom of this work she has learned along the way. This was a really beautiful and insightful conversation and a real joy for me to listen to her.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Adrian Freedman. Adrian recently came into my radar as he was performing in a festival that I knew about. We delayed our talk unit we could meet in person and I'm glad we did. Adrian has a really deep presence and we spoke about his journey being trained in classical music, his learning the Japanese shakuhachi flute and buddhism, his encounter with Santo Daime and ayahuasca, and what he has learned in many decades walking this path. We went over three hours and I really enjoyed speaking with Adrian and trust you all will get a lot out of the depth, wisdom, and clarity of Adrian. Note I had some difficulties with the audio and needed to use voice enhancement so there is some distortion in our voices from time to time, apologies!

Hey everybody! Episode 168 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Ian McCall. I had known about Ian for many years as a mixed martial artist and recently with his advocacy in psychedelics as medicine. I was really happy to have him on to speak about his background, martial arts, his low points in life and the transformation psychedelics had for him, traumatic brain injury, the the organization he created to bring awareness and help people. Ian is a really fascinating guy with a great life's story and I'm sure you will get much from this conversation.

Hey everybody! Episode 167 of the show is out. This episode is a podcast I was interviewed on called Cosmic Triggers with Sam. Sam has worked with us in the past and is doing really good work on her podcast. It was a pleasure to sit down with her as she was primarily interested in speaking about politics and the world situation. It can always be a challenging topic that can evoke a lot. I was happy to speak with her and admire her courage to go into difficult topics. I think its an important conversation and hope you all gain from the insights and topics we covered.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Sam Believ. Sam is an interesting guy. I was recently on his podcast and had him on mine. We spoke about Sam's past working as an engineer, his depression that eventually led him to ayahuasca or yagé, and how he eventually founded a center in Colombia. We spoke about these things and some of the culture in Colombia around the traditions and uses of yagé. It was a very interesting conversation and I think you all will gain a lot from Sam's story, his knowledge of yagé and Colombia, and his insights into this medicine.

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Alisa Reimer. Alisa was recommended to me by a listener of the podcast and I knew quickly she would be a great guest. We spoke about her background growing up in East Germany, the influence of her grandmother opening her to the invisible world, her time in Latin America and the influence of learning from indigenous cultures, and her work with sound and being a bridge for different cultures. It was a pleasure to speak with her. I think Alisa has a lot of wisdom to share and trust you all will gain much from this episode.
