## Resource

Rebekah Senānāyaka, PhD, is an anthropologist and a certified explorer, having spent a combined total of 27 months of fieldwork in the heart of the Amazon, often living in a house with no walls, protected from the jungle by only a mosquito net. She also shares a bit about her experience as an apprentice with a Kichwa maestro, a first for a woman in the community she lived in. We also go beyond psychoactive plants to the broader relationships the Peruvian people have with the natural world, from dietas to exploring the Amazon’s natural medicine cabinet. Aside from talking to plants, Rebekah also shares her love for broader extreme experiences, from float tanks to ultra-endurance sports. Learn more about Rebekah's work here: https://www.bekplants .
