The Amazon: What Ayahuasca Taught Me About Desire, Pleasure & Presence

After taking some time to land, integrate and find my feet again, I’m finally ready to share what happened during my return to the Amazon.This was my second time in the Peruvian Amazon, but this journey felt incredibly different. This time, I had the privilege of bringing a beautiful group with me and witnessing them experience the land, the medicine and the magic that changed so much for me the first time around.In this episode, I take you inside the experience and share some of the moments, ceremonies and teachings that have stayed with me since coming home.My intention going into this journey was to learn how to hold desire with an open palm. To allow myself to want deeply, dream deeply and be excited for what is coming, without allowing those desires to pull me away from the life that is already here. And what unfolded became such a beautiful lesson in presence.I share what the medicine taught me about stillness over chasing, becoming the grounded woman, trusting what is meant for me, finding safety within myself and recognising that pleasure, love and aliveness are not things we have to wait for another person or experience to give us. They are states we can learn to cultivate within our own bodies. This episode is ultimately about learning to hold both.Desire and presence. Expansion and gratitude. The spiritual and the human. Being deeply in love with where you are while remaining completely open to how good life can still become.This is a very special episode and a little glimpse into a week that I know will stay with me forever. 🌿🤎
