I was in a plant medicine ceremony recently, which revealed some deep messages around the colonization of these spirit beings, and how these ancient technologies were changing due to these new practices. Over the last few decades, plant medicines have gained popularity as a cure-all for just about anything.

Yesterday I was coaching a client who was heading to the jungle for her first Ayahuasca retreat and plant medicine deep dive into her consciousness. The doubts surfacing around the experience were visceral, causing her voice to shake as the panic crept in. As we peeled back the layers of her fear, what nestled itself in the center of her concerns was a core of mistrust in herself and her consciousness.
