Sample Book Insights:

#1 I had been searching for a tropical beach vacation in 2005 when I heard about a retreat center in Costa Rica that offered ayahuasca sessions. I had never even heard of the medicine, but I signed up immediately.

#2 I was planning on going to a ayahuasca retreat, and when the woman organizing it called to ask me about my intentions, I explained that I wanted to go partway with my father as he was dying.

#3 I was called to the first ayahuasca ceremony, which was serendipitous. I had wanted to go, and I had opened myself up to the experience. I was far more open than I was at the stressful time of my father’s dying, better able to receive his final message.

#4 I began asking questions the very next morning, when I knew for sure that I had experienced a profound and deeply personal healing beyond anything I’d experienced with other psychedelics. The shamans could not understand my psychological questions, and they live in an ayahuasca-saturated world that is as real to them as this world is to me.
