I'm welcoming you to the hundredth episode of this podcast! In this episode, I finally get around to talking about my experience that I had a few months ago, where I went on two different retreats to experience Ayahuasca medicine in South America.
I can't quite believe I've carried on for so long. It's been an amazing experience for me to do this podcast. I started this podcast because it was actually a bit of a mission for me to overcome those last little bits of social anxiety and fears about speaking to people. Especially people I really look up to.
I share about:
* Why I went to the Amazon jungle and what it was like (spoiler: it was intense!)* What I learned from the plant medicine and what you can learn from it too* The risks involved and how I overcame my fears

Yes, it was a powerful experience
So in this episode, I'm finally getting around to talking about my experience that I had back in December and January of 2019/20. Where I went on two different retreats to experience Ayahuasca medicine from South America.
I have to say I've been putting this conversation off. I am feeling a certain amount of trepidation to even be talking about it because of the fact that it is not legal in the UK. It is legal in a lot of South American countries. There is definitely an aspect to it, which is pretty scary, a bit dangerous.
