Ep. 54 - Scott Hussa - Ayahuasca, Facilitation & Processing

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 54 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Scott Hussa. Scott and I met in the Amazon jungle working at the plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where he facilitated ceremonies. It was a pleasure for me to sit down and reconnect with Scott and learn a bit more about his story, which he opened up on a very personal level. We talked about his journey, plant medicines, and the art of facilitation. Scott has a lot of wisdom to share and does his work in a masterful and integral way. I think you all will really enjoy this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

"As an adoptee from South Korea and raised in the United States, he has been exploring his understanding of identity, family, community, and society throughout his life. Scott spent 6 months in Japan, before making his way to Seoul. What was initially going to be a one-year living abroad experience became an eleven-year exploration of his ethnic background and culture.

While in Korea he was involved in three startup businesses and spent his last five years working as an Executive Coach and Training Program Consultant. He studied Journalism and Advertising at the University of Oregon.

Scott’s innate curiosity lead him to Peru in 2014, and he quickly found himself working at a medicine center facilitating guests in retreat. Known for his compassion and presence, Scott has been working full time as a facilitator for the last several years and is currently apprenticing with his Shipibo maestro Laura Lopez.”

Ep. 53 - Deanna Rogers - Ayahuasca, Integration, & Compassionate Inquiry

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 53 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Deanna Rogers. Deanna and I met in the Amazon jungle working at the plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where she was facilitating ceremonies. Deanna has a broad range of tools from Somatic Experiencing to Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry to studying psychology. She currently works helping people to integrate their plant medicine ceremonies. Deanna has a lot of experience in this field and brings a really solid, present, grounded, and balanced approach to her work. I really enjoyed sitting down with her, catching up, and having her share in her wisdom. I hope you all enjoy this episode as well.

"Deanna has been working with plant medicines for the last decade and with the Temple of the Way of Light since 2013. In this time she has supported hundreds of guests through their medicine journeys and also embarked on her own deep healing with the plants through a traditional study of dieta.

Deanna holds a non-judgmental container and a deeply compassionate space to allow whatever needs to arise, to arise. Her commitment is to help people uncover and work with the root of their illness or condition so that they can live a more connected life. This is led through a process of Inquiry, somatic processing, and a balance of guiding and listening. Her work is deeply influenced by her training with Dr. Gabor Mate and his Compassion Inquiry model, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, and through her study with Indigenous Healers in the Amazon. She is currently embarking on her Master of Counseling. 

Deanna offers preparation and integration sessions before and after plant medicine experiences to help ground and live the healing journey. Her goal is to empower people to cultivate deep connections to self, to help integrate trauma and align to their path going forward.”

Hey everybody! Episode 52 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Juliana Bizare. Juliana and I met in the Amazon jungle working at the plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where she originally came down as a teacher of yoga and meditation. Juliana has many years of working with plant medicine, yoga, meditation, and other modalities, so it was a pleasure for me to sit down with her and have her share more of her story and her knowledge. She has a beautiful presence and a lot of wisdom to share, and so I hope and imagine you all will get a lot out of this episode.

"For the past 20 years, Juliana’s true passion has been the study of the Eastern practices of Yoga & Mindfulness, and the work with Sacred Plant Medicines. Her focus has been around finding ways to integrate all of this knowledge into our modern and busy lives. She has been deepening her own relationship with the Medicine, through Dieting different Master Plants with the Lopez Sanchez Family (Maestras Ynes, Laura & Lila), in the Shipibo Tradition. She has supported hundreds of people in their own processes of integration, working in two different centres in the Peruvian Amazon for the past 5 years: The Temple of the Way of Light and Niwe Rao Xobo. Juliana has also studied Mindfulness & Yoga in India and California, living in these countries, going through different kinds of trainings and long residential retreats for years. Her goal is to empower people to feel safe in their bodies, integrate trauma and all different parts of our human experience, so people can have clarity on their path and purpose in life.”
