Shifting Consciousness, The Power of Ceremony & The Evolution of the Ayahuasca Tradition with Founder of the Ayahuasca Foundation Carlos Tanner - 13

After struggling with addiction, Carlos Tanner heeded the call to sit with grandmother ayahuasca in Peru, knowing this would be his path of healing. Shortly after that, he was invited to move into a shaman's home and apprenticed with him for 4 years. This eventually led him to start the Ayahuasca Foundation in 2009, offering retreats and educational training programs within the Shipibo lineage. In this conversation, we explore some nuanced and complex topics, including:The misunderstanding we have around the concept of “tradition” Understanding trauma from a shamanic perspective How ceremony acts as a catalyst for enhancing consciousnessDo these sacred plant medicines discriminate between skin color and language spoken? The placebo effect and the role that consciousness plays in the healing processHow consciousness profoundly influences our experience of reality The understanding of trauma from a shamanic perspectiveHow we have forgotten that we are inherently a part of natureThe ayahuasca foundations 4 and 8-week programs.Resources Click here to access the full episode transcript and list of resourcesAyahuasca Foundation WebsiteFour Week Empowerment Course at the Ayahuasca FoundationEight Week Initiation Course at the Ayahuasca FoundationAccess 8-Day Free Microdosing Course HereAccess 4 playlists for psychedelic journey’s and beyond.Music FeatureRainbow Light by Tara Davina.
