069 | Bridging Indigenous Ayahuasca w/ The West at An Ethical Psychedelic Retreat

PUBLISHERS NOTE: As of January 2024, I can no longer recommend Reunion as a place to experience plant medicine. See full statement HERE. This does not pertain to the guests in the episode, whom I still endorse as medicine providers.Ayahuasca and Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are a beautiful gift to humanity. As we explore these medicines in the West, we need to remember that we are entering a cultural paradigm that is different from our own. In this interview with Sr. Program Directors at Reunion Experience, we explore how we can show up to medicine in a good way.If you want to enter medicine spaces with respect, reverence, and reciprocity for the cultures that these medicines come from, this conversation is for you. This convo is extremely valuable for current or aspiring space holders in the world of plant medicine, AND, for participants in plant medicine circles. I had an opportunity to visit Reunion in Costa Rica, and realized that it's a truly special place. The fact that it's a not for profit center is the tip of the iceberg. Medicine is truly guiding the way the Reunion team operates: With deep humility, grace, reverence and respect for the cultures, plant teachers, and the Way of Nature.Karina and Julian are not speaking on behalf of any of the lineages they work with, rather from their experiences as students and cultural bridges.Topics covered:How they both got involved with facilitating plant medicine experiencesA little bit about Reunion Experience in Costa Rica, a not for profit plant medicine centerBuilding relationship with different Wisdom Keepers and teachersReciprocity and the art of giving and receiving under a not for profit modelWhat it means and looks like to put people and the planet over profitWhat is a cultural bridge & how to be oneThe path of studentship with direct indigenous wisdom keepersWhat does respect in medicine spaces mean?Plant medicine as a relationship, not a toolLand stewardship & devotion to the elementsCreating narrative neutral spaces for exploring spiritualityShow Links:Flow Formula: 8 Week Microdosing Program - Early Bird Until Sept 26!Kanna Extract Co - LANA to save 10%Reunion Experience in Costa Rica - use MODERNREUNION at checkoutBook a discovery call with ReunionMy Full Review of ReunionMy Experience at Reunion: Episode 60 & Episode 64Reunion specialty weeks (Leadership Series, LGBTQ+ Week)Reunion on InstagramShow Notes👉Stay connected to Modern Psychedelics via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉 Inspired to transform your life from the inside out, and integrate higher consciousness in your day to day life? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explore 1:1 Coaching with Lana ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply Now⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE Intention Setting Journal for Psychedelic Experiences⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Integration Journal to Help Make Sense of Your Journey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ceremony Checklist for Safe Plant Medicine Journeys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Psychedelic Journey & Psychedelic Integration Playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉Looking for daily integration support or a legal microdose option?
