Ep. 5 - Carolina Pilara (Caro Luna) - Ayahuasca, Plant Medicines, & Ceremony

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Welcome! In this show, I sat down with my friend Carolina. Carolina and I worked together for a number of years at the Amazonian plant healing center the Temple of the Way of Light. Carolina has been immersed in this work for more than a decade and brings a joy, knowledge, and charisma to this work that few possess. It was a pleasure to reconnect with her and I hope you enjoy the show.

"Carolina "Caro Luna" Pilara has accumulated over a decade of experience working with indigenous cultures and plant medicines in Latin America. For the past eight years, she has held leadership positions in ceremonial settings and retreats in Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the UK. She has guided over a thousand first-time and experienced participants in medicinal work with ayahuasca, peyote, and cacao as ceremonial practices, as well as facilitated Elemental Shamanic breath-work workshops and seminars. As a Latin American with a Western upbringing, she sees both her identity and work as a bridge between cultures and approaches, but also as a platform from which to create new spaces of dialog in the spirit of radical transparency, authenticity, and growth."

Ep. 4 - Sacred Tobacco

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Welcome! In this show, I talk about tobacco. For those who are new to this work, it may seem strange that tobacco is being spoken of as a medicine plant. And not only is it medicinal, but it is also considered a Master Plant, a plant that has the ability to both heal and teach. For those of you who are familiar with tobacco, I hope this sheds some deeper light onto this plant and for those who are not familiar, hopefully this offers some insight and sparks curiosity. I hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 2 - Zuzana Valesova & Lacey Ann Luna - Amazon Plant Medicine Facilitator & Yoga Instructor

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

**Note: the first 30 minutes it was raining so there is some background static but it stops after**

Welcome! In this show, I sat down with Zuzana and Lacey from the Temple of the Way of Light, an Amazonian plant healing center located near Iquitos, Peru. Zuzana facilitates ceremonies there and Lacey teaches yoga. We talked about their journeys that led them to plant medicine, plants, ceremonies, their work, and COVID. I enjoyed the conversation and I think you will too.

Bio Lacey: Originally from Las Vegas, Lacey is an international yoga teacher, and began working with plant medicines in 2010. After traveling to Peru in 2011 and 2012, she continued participating in ceremonies in the US, the UK, and Peru. Lacey believes yoga and ayahuasca are synergistic medicines, one enhances the other to deeper the healing process. Lacey started working at the Temple of the Way of Light in January 2019. When she is not in Peru, she continues to teach yoga and host retreats around the world.

Lacey can be found on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @SerpentLacey

Bio Zuzana: Zuzana traveled to Peru in 2012 where she got introduced to plant medicine and started to train with one of the most well-known and respected tabaqueros in Peru. Since then she has completed an apprenticeship in Amazonian plants and has worked independently alongside with guiding people on their journey at the Temple as a facilitator.

Zuzana can be found facilitating retreats at The Temple of the Way of Light and at zuuvalesova@gmail.com
