Hey everybody! Episode 148 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Remi & Ashley of Kumankaya Healing Center. I had heard about Remi a number of years ago as I am friends with and have interviewed two of his friends and colleagues, Joe Tafur (ep15) and Martina Drassl (ep42). They spoke very highly of Remi and his dedication and skill to the plant medicine path. He was a Christian monk for a number of years before apprenticing with a renowned Shipibo Onaya (ayahuasquero) Ricardo Amaringo, at the healing center Nihue Rao. That is where he met Ashley, his wife, who has had an interesting journey herself coming to plants and also apprenticed there. It was a pleasure to sit down with both of them and learn about their background, speak about plants, ayahuasca, the Shipibo lineage, dietas, master plants, cosmovisions, and what they have learned on their path. Their depth of knowledge, training, and wisdom in this field is very apparent and I trust you all will gain much from their extensive knowledge.

“Remi Delaune and Ashley are co-founders of the alternative healing center Kumankaya in Mexico. Remi is a Western healer who spent over 20 years in an Greek Orthodox monastery before becoming a sacred medicine practitioner. Like Remi, Ashley acquired her plant medicine training in the jungles of Peru undergoing years of severe aestheticism to learn how to help people with the knowledge of master plant diets and Ayahuasca. Together, Remi and Ashley have over 20 years of experience and more than 10 years of master plant diets.”
