For the third epiosde I have the incredible Nightwave talking about her healing experiences with psychedlics, ancient amazonian medicines and Kambô, of which she is now a practitioner. In this podcast we talk about her unusual first job, getting into DJing, her own struggles with mental health including being diagnosed with OCD, what she learned about OCD and the routes she's taken to healing through scared rituals with psycillocybin, plant medecine, kambo and more. We talk about how she works with kambo, what it does, the ethics and sustainability of practicing with sacred methods and plants, spirituality/ spirtual bypassing and the similarities between DJing and shamanism!
Nightwave (or Maya) is a Glasgow based DJ, producer, vocalist, club promoter and label boss with a punchy signature sound of acid, Chicago house, Detroit techno and electro fused with heady rave nostalgia and hybrid forms of bass and club music. She's one of my personal faves and has released some really incredible music over the years including her most recent EP " Prince of Flowers" on Optimo. But Maya is also a holistic therapist and Kambô practitioner specialising in women's health, autoimmunity issues and mental health. She says "Most people know me as a touring DJ and music producer but I've also been on a healing path for the last 20 years years pursuing my love of knowledge and passion for all life's mysteries, spiritual development and plant medicines. "
She has been serving Kambô for 3 years and works with a wide range of clients but is particularly passionate about women's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and addressing the root of the issue which often is trauma or suppressed emotion. She works closely with Indigenous communities in the Amazon and is passionate about the fair and ethical use of these prcatices and medicines.
