In this episode I speak with Sophia Rokhlin author (along with Daniel Pinchbeck) of When Plants Dream: Ayahuasca, Amazonian Shamanism, and the Global Psychedelic Renaissance.In this conversation we explore the potential and risks of the global ayahuasca boom, neo-shamanism, the utopian impulse, spiritual bypass, how to consume ayahuasca responsibly, and reforestation and regeneration efforts currently underway in the Amazon. More about the book: Ayahuasca is a powerful tool for transformation, that more and more Westerners are flocking to drink in a quest for greater self-knowledge, healing and reconnection with the natural world. This formerly esoteric, little-known brew is now a growth industry. But why?Ayahuasca is a psychoactive tea that has a long history of ritual use among indigenous groups of the Upper Amazon. Made from the ayahuasca vine and the leaves of a shrub, ayahuasca is associated with healing in collective ceremonies and in more intimate contexts, generally under the direction of specialist – an ayahuasquero. These are experienced practitioners who guide the ceremony and the ‘drinkers’ experience. Ayahuasca has gained significant popularity these days in cities around the world. Ceremonies happen nightly and Hollywood stars, Wall Street players and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs now drink the brew. Why? What effect might ayahuasca be having on our culture? Could it be the LSD of our time? Does the brew, which seems to inspire environmental action, simplified lifestyles and more communitarian behaviour, act as an antidote to frenzied consumerist culture? In When Plants Dream, Pinchbeck and Rokhlin explore the economic, social, political, cultural and environmental impact that ayahuasca is having on society. Part 1 covers the background; what ayahuasca is, where it is found, and its cultural origins. Part 2 explores the role and practices of the ayahuasquero in both Amazonian and Western cultures. Part 3 examines the medicinal plants of the Amazon, looking particularly at the ingredients in ayahuasca and their therapeutic qualities, covering the most up-to-date biomedical research, psychedelic science and psychopharmacology. Part 4 looks more closely at how ayahuasca is perceived and used today, covering law, the drug wars, media and money. Lastly in Part 5 Pinchbeck and Rokhlin question the future of ayahuasca. When Plants Dream is the first book of its kind to look at the science and expanding culture of ayahuasca, from its historical use to its appropriation by the West and the impact it is having on cultures beyond the Amazon.

In this episode I speak with herbalist and health coach, Marie Frohlich, about her powerful Ayahuasca Ceremony experience in Peru.

This is the third and final installment in the ayahuasca talks series, recorded in the Peruvian Amazon. This episode is with the multitalented wonder woman, Irene. Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, she's been working as an ayahuasca facilitator and teacher at the Temple Of The Way Of Light in Peru.  Studying cultural and social anthropology opened Irene to a new way of seeing the world and led her to discover art therapy as a tool to explore the human psyche. Irene has been a volunteer with ICEERS (the International Center for Ethno-botanical Education Research and Service, www.iceers.org ) since 2010 and is currently in collaboration with the Temple to research how the use of Ayahuasca among Westerners can be useful in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD and grief in a three-year study. Stay tuned till the end of the episode where Irene sings us one of her many beautiful songs.  If you enjoy this show Please Help Make It Better By Subscribing and Sharing.

Part 2 in my 4 part series chronicling my ayahuasca journey in the Peruvian Amazon. In this episode I go into detail about the center I attended, The Temple Of The Way Of Light. I talk about the amazing things the Temple is doing to provide a safe and effective healing center. I talk about the various ways in which they are involved in the fight for cognitive liberty, healing, and how they give back to the local community. It truly is a remarkable place. I then talk about the daily routine of being there. I go into the 1st and 2nd ceremony. Next week I will solely focus on the next 2 ceremony experiences. I will describe in full detail everything that happened during the 2nd and 3rd ceremonies. Stay tuned.
