So Welcome to episode 8!

This week I’m excited to share a conversation about the power of plant medicine with Marta Wanderlust, space holder, spiritual mentor, Yoga teacher and a Breathwork facilitator.

I’ve long been intrigued by ayahuasca, listening to friends, watching documentaries wondering if the opportunity arose if I’d feel called to try it.

Ayahuasca’s appeal has become widespread over the last 10 -15 years and now you don’t have to travel to source to experience it - you can find ceremonies in your neighbourhood, in apartments in London and New York but you also hear a lot of negative stories of people feeling blown open, even traumatised and questioning their desire to try it in the first place.

Marta shares her experiences living in the Amazon jungle and the High Andes, working with the Shipibo people and plant medicine, and being immersed in community.

She brings rich context the power of plant medicine, its history, its place in amazonian shamanism and how the importance of being held in a safe container with experienced practitioners, either directly or directly from the communities - with which it holds its roots.

Its a fascinating conversation about healing, self awareness, and Marta has such reverence and respect for the medicine. I’m still not sure if its for me - but I definitely feel I can make an informed decision and understand the care necessary in the preparation before and the integration afterwards!

Marta also opens up about her own journey and how plant medicine has help her heal from trauma and addiction - and how it has helped her to guide others on the healing path.

Enjoy!
