## Resource

I have been so excited to share this episode with you. My week in the Amazon was a wild and life-changing ride. A journey deep into the jungle where I sat in ceremony with shamans and sacred plant medicines, and met myself at whole new depths. In this episode, I open up about my time at Arkana Spiritual Centre in Peru, how profoundly transformational it was for me, and how this experience has set the course for a lifelong dream: to bridge the Amazon and Australia by leading my own retreats at Arkana in 2026. What you will hear in this episode: Immersion in the Amazon jungle and the atmosphere at Arkana Spiritual Centre The experience of sitting in ceremony with shamans and sacred plant medicines The insights, breakthroughs, and moments of transformation that stayed with me How this journey revealed a clear path to bridging Australia and the Amazon The dream of hosting my own retreats at Arkana in 2026.
