Hey everybody! Episode 157 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friends Todd and Lacey. Todd and Lacey and I go quite far back where we met working together at the ayahuasca center the Temple of the Way of Light. They have started their own ayahuasca retreat called Intertwining Medicines where they work within the Shipibo lineage. It was a pleasure to sit down and catch up with them both. They have been involved in this medicine path for a long time and both hold a lot of wisdom and teachings. We spoke about their background, facilitation, healing, black magic and brujeria, and the evolution of this work. I have a lot of respect for both of them and think they have a lot to share. I trust you all will gain much from this episode. As always, to support this podcast, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

“Lacey is an international yoga teacher specializing in yin yoga, vinyasa, hatha yoga, and hot yoga. The significant healing that yoga brought to Lacey’s life eventually led her to her first ceremony one year after her yoga teacher training graduation. Her medicine path now is entirely devoted to her shamanic development with plants and energy healing in the extended containers of ayahuasca plant dietas. Lacey has been in full time apprenticeship with the Shipibo tradition since 2019, and with the permission and blessings of her initial teachers, she has begun holding her own small ceremonies in Peru and singing Shipibo icaros. She offers long distance pranic healing energy work to clients around the world. She also holds online Zoom coaching sessions to those seeking plant medicine development, ongoing support with ayahuasca integration, empathetic listening, and guidance on Mind-Body-Spirit health.”
“Todd is a world traveller, university graduate, multi disciplinary visual artist, and outdoor athlete. His interest in shamanism and all things mysterious began at an early age, and is what eventually brought him in contact with ayahuasca in the beginning of 2004 when he attended his first Shipibo based ceremony on Vancouver Island. After a personal life shift at the end of 2012, Todd visited Temple of the Way of Light outside of Iquitos, Peru as a guest. Later in mid 2019, Todd joined the facilitation team at Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica. Less than two years later Todd was promoted to Director of Retreats for Soltara until spring of 2023 when he relocated to Peru. Todd continues to dedicate himself to the ever evolving path of plant medicines with nearly two decades of experience within the realms of pre and post ceremony support, integration guidance, conscious communication, and insight practices. When he is not facilitating retreats, Todd spends his time in his art studio with his creative outlets of painting, designing digital art, and tattooing. His other passion in life is surfing.”
