april of this year (2025) i had my first experience with ayahuasca, tucked away with the trees on the edge of the colombian jungle. after his own ayahuasca journey, sam believ created lawayra retreats to make the wisdom of this sacred medicine accessible to a wider range of people. his vision, presence, and approach is truly a gift to this world. alongside him in this conversation is the at the time head of facilitation, dr. clara porwoll. while i am still in my process of integrating all that i learned through my own journey, and it has not felt right to share my experience yet, i share this conversation with you with trust that it will resonate with those whom it's meant to.if we keep our minds open, the possibilities are limitless.
