Ep. 20 - Tanya Kammonen - Naturopathic Doctor, Plant Medicine, and Integration

Hey everybody! Episode 20 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Tanya Kammonen. Tanya and I met working together at the Amazonian plant-medicine center the Temple of the Way of Light. Tanya headed the Integration team at the Temple and facilitated workshops there as well. Tanya has a really interesting background and brings a depth of knowledge and experience to her work. I have seen her work deeply with and help many people. She has a lot to share and continues to go deeper into her own work and within the Shipibo tradition. Tanya went pretty deep and spoke about some really important things within this work. It was a great conversation and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode. And to view the extended version of this interview, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“Tanya Kammonen has Finnish, Irish, Ukrainian, and Hungarian roots. She grew up in Canada close to a river and has been interested in consciousness and spirituality since before having words for those concepts. She studied biology and naturopathic medicine and after seeing an increasing number of patients in her practice looking for help with integration post-ayahuasca, allowed that to become a full-time pursuit and became the first Integration Director with the Temple of the Way of Light, developing methodology and programming to help people make sense of their experiences and impactful changes in their lives. Since becoming a mom to her incredible son she has been consulting in various plant medicine-related projects and is part of the founding team of Oni Xobo, an intercultural organization that investigates designs, and implements projects related to medicine, art, culture, and environment, through a lens of divine love. Her intention is to apply and share what she has learned in ways that are true and inspiring to other human beings.”For more information on Tanya and her project, visit her website at: https://www.onixobo.org/Share the show, Subscribe or Follow, leave comments, and if you can go on Apple Podcasts and leave a starred-rating and a short review.
