Description

We're back! Pardon the brief hiatus. The world is changing! I am changing! You are changing! But lets forget that for a moment to produce and consume more content.  Yay!In this episode I speak with Kai Cameron, who at the age of 20 grew disillusioned with going to college and decided to volunteer at an ayahuasca retreat for 6 months.  He also did Ayahuasca with his mom when she came and visited him.  Wow.I find it super interesting to talk to people who are exposed to ceremonial use of psychedelics at a young age -- not that it makes navigating coming of age any less turbulent or difficult, but it definitely provides a safe container for self discovery, and can be a tremendously formative experience.  I wish I'd found it sooner, and I'm glad to have crossed paths with Kai. We talk about what he's learned from his Ayahuasca  experiences and the difficulties of coming back to normal society afterwards. He also shares the funniest cautionary tale of 'false wisdom' I've ever heard and we discuss keeping your wits about you amongst the sea of  potentially harmful New Age and neo-shamanistic beliefs.

Join writer and person and armchair comedian Nate Falkoff as he interviews guests to find out how Ayahuasca (and it's lesser known cousin, San Pedro) changed their personal trajectory. Ayahuasca Anonymous is an open ended, conversational exploration of the transformative power of shamanic plant medicines, told through the stories of other people who experienced them. It is also an examination of the collision of Western and indigenous cultures, capitalism and spirituality, technology and nature, and anything else Nate finds interesting.
