The Myths That Make Us

Francesca Barone is a teacher, facilitator, and lifelong student of the Shipibo healing tradition devoted to the intersection of shamanic medicine, feminine healing arts, somatic-based embodiment practice, and the classical tantric path. She is the co-founder of Anam Cara Healing Retreats, an intimate Shipibo Ayahuasca retreat center in Costa Rica and Peru dedicated to preserving indigenous wisdom, honoring the Shipibo lineage, and creating deeply personalized healing experiences rooted in reciprocity and integrity. Having apprenticed for years with Shipibo maestros, Francesca has guided hundreds of people through profound healing journeys by weaving Amazonian plant medicine with trauma-informed care, somatic healing, breathwork, and embodied spirituality. Her work explores the body as a sacred pathway to awakening, where trauma is transformed, the feminine principle is reclaimed, and ancient wisdom becomes a lived experience woven into every day practice.   Follow Francesca: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/followyour_bliss_ Anam Cara Healing Retreats: https://www.anamcarahealingretreats.com Anam Cara Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anamcararetreats Donate to the Ayni Plant Project: https://www.ayniplantproject.com   This episode is brought to you by the Dharma Artist Collective.

What’s up fam, Graham here. We’re officially in the whisper era of the podcast, and it’s good to be back. We’re slowly figuring out how to make the whisper audio sound silky so thanks for being patient with us.   Today’s episode feels like prime time, old school Myths That Make Us. We’re joined by Michael Phillip, long time homie and host of the legendary Third Eye Drops. Conversations between these two are known to keep families awake at night, and this one is no different. The premise of today's episode is entities… What are they? What are they not? How do great thinkers understand them?

Anna tells us the story of Spirit and how her childhood experiences in sports and church have shaped her relationship with God.
