Episode 193 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Jessica Begin. I have known Jessica for many years since we met working together at the Amazonian Shipibo ayahuasca center, The Temple of the Way of Light . Jessica has dedicated her life to a deep spiritual curiosity and calling. For many years, she has apprenticed with a well-known and respected family of Shipibo maestras, where she also helps to run their center. She has a deep and experiential knowledge of the plant medicine world, and we spoke about her journey into Santo Daime, the Shipibo lineage, the Tubu, ayahuasca, dieta, wisdom, and visions of the future. It was really a pleasure for me to reconnect with Jessica, and I know you all will gain much from her wisdom.
