Ep. 166 - Sam Believ - Ayahuasca, Yagé, & Colombian Traditions

Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Sam Believ. Sam is an interesting guy. I was recently on his podcast and had him on mine. We spoke about Sam’s past working as an engineer, his depression that eventually led him to ayahuasca or yagé, and how he eventually founded a center in Colombia. We spoke about these things and some of the culture in Colombia around the traditions and uses of yagé. It was a very interesting conversation and I think you all will gain a lot from Sam’s story, his knowledge of yagé and Colombia, and his insights into this medicine.
