#022: Healing from a Turbulent Childhood and Becoming an Ayahuasca Shamanista | Teri Hupp


Listen Later

Teri Hupp was working in the restaurant industry when she interviewed a man who she didn't have a good feeling about. She didn't want to give him a job but her general manager overrode her and hired him. Teri and Steve eventually fell in love and married. Steve was a devout atheist and struggled with anger but things changed when he found ayahuasca. Teri saw the changes Steve underwent as he began drinking ayahuasca and eventually decided to try herself. Ayahuasca helped her heal from a turbulent childhood and she and Steve started Aya Quest Native Americas Church in Kentucky, where they hold ayahuasca retreats. Teri shares some of her own experiences with ayahuasca and reflects on the changes she's seen in people who have attended their ayahuasca retreats.
