In this installment, we delve into a journey that took my husband and me to Costa Rica for a life-altering Ayahuasca Retreat. If the term "Ayahuasca" raises eyebrows, fear not – we break it down in this episode for you. This episode features the insights of Ayahuasqueros Matt Mormello and Jeanae White, who provide invaluable insight into the world of Ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca, a potent plant spirit medicine, can induce profound healing and transformation. This psychoactive brew, derived from Amazon rainforest plants, carries deep spiritual and therapeutic effects. The practice of Ayahuasca traces back over two millennia – rooted in Amazonian native traditions – and continues to intrigue scientists and anthropologists. Known as "La Medicina" in the Amazon, Ayahuasca is administered during ceremonial healing rituals led by expert shamans called Ayahuasqueros.
Our personal Ayahuasca experience was truly transformative, revealing personal insights and facilitating emotional healing beyond words.
This episode brings to light our encounter with Matt Mormello and Jeanae White, the visionary founders of New Life Ayahuasca in Costa Rica, where our journey took place. Having worked with plant medicine since 2014, Matt and Jeanae boast extensive experience as Ayahuasqueros, having led between 8 to 900 ceremonies and undergone rigorous training with their teacher in Iquitos, Peru. Our discussion navigates a wide array of topics, so rest assured – an accompanying informational sheet in the show notes helps you keep track.
