My shaman Dave has been working in the vegetalismo tradition for over 16 years and, along with two other shamans in the same sangha, brought me out of my 'incurable' disease.In this very special episode, we discuss how to properly use ayahuasca, what it really is, what it means to take it out of its native land, how one becomes a true practitioner of this medicine, reincarnation and ancestral curses, dreams, chanting, and other plant spirits. I also ask how is ayahuasca different from other plants? What does it mean to be taught by a plant teacher? What does a shaman experience during ceremony? What is the cause of disease? and everybody's favorite: Can you die on ayahuasca?Join us as we talk about deep healing, shadow work, and the mysteries.Visit philoofhealth.org to support this podcast and my path to healing by donating or using my ebay or amazon links, or to set up a personal consultation with me.
