Javier Regueiro is a Peruvian plant medicine specialist with over a decade of experience sitting with the medicines as well as holding space at his healing center, Ayaruna.

Working with Perú's two main plant medicine teachers, ayahuasca and huachuma (aka San Pedro), Javier has explored the depths of his own soul, psyche and pain. In these explorations and journeys, he's found surrender, healing and clarity that wasn't as easily accessible in other healing modalities that he pursued.

We explore many topics in this deep and engrossing conversation. May the wisdom and opinions shared here lead you on your own healing path towards a state of wholeness and love.
