Ep. 47 - Publio Valle - Yoga, Buddhism, Sacred Plant Medicines & Life

Hey everybody! Episode 47 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Publio Valle. Publio and I met while working together at the Amazonian plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light. Publio has taught yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry there, facilitated ceremonies, and also managed the center. Publio has a varied background of practices including yoga, meditation, Buddhism, and plant medicine work. He is a gentle and beautiful man and has a beautiful ability to convey many topics into easily digestible words. It was a pleasure for me to to sit down with him and hear him share his varied knowledge.

In South India, I studied at Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana..Back in Brazil I worked as coordinator of the “Living in Group” program at the University of Light, one of the most mature communities in Brazil…A key part of my work and process is not just to locate and support the healing of the emotional wounds that can act as blocks to our healthy mental and physical well-being. Through the process of going deeper, below the limits of the conscious mind, we can also locate the precious gems which exist in each one of us: those unique gifts that are waiting to be discovered – and amplified – in service to something bigger than ourselves.”For Publio’s full bio, visit: https://www.universewithinpodcast.com/podcast/publio-vallePublio’s website: https://www.publiovalle.com/This episode is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light: https://templeofthewayoflight.org/It’s also sponsored by Xstatic Dance .
