In this episode I sit down with author and professor Greg Wrenn. We dive into an engaging conversation about healing, childhood trauma and ayahuasca. I came to the this conversation with skepticism, but also curiosity and lack of experience with this approach to healing. As we navigate the complexities of healing, Greg reflects on the roots of his journey, tracing it back to childhood. Tune in for an insightful discussion that blends humor, vulnerability, and profound insights into the healing path.
In this episode we talk about:
Childhood trauma and healing
Ayahuasca as last resort medicine
Trust and psychedelics in ceremony
Personal and planetary healing
Reciprocity in healing practices
There was so much more we could have to and about. Let’s continue the conversation here.
As a discretion, there is a mention of un-detailed childhood abuse in this episode.
“What do you have to lose by putting out a message straight from the heart? What do you have to lose? Nothing. And what could be gained? A lot”
