My Psychedelic Story: Aimee Pena

What if the medicine you fear the most is the one that finally brings you home to yourself? In this intimate story, visionary artist and medicine woman Aimee Peña shares how her decade-long path with ancestral medicines, rooted in Iboga, Ayahuasca, Bufo, Huachuma, and Kambo, turned addiction, shadow work, and personal awakening into a living spiritual curriculum.
