Welcome back!

In this podcast, we invite you to listen to a variety show with segments from various lectures from our March 2007 Brazil Ayahuasca Workshops.

Lectures by Shaman Warinei Wanare (translated by his assistant Sara Ñusta), Ralph Miller and Peter Richardson, with music by Chapman.

The final ten minutes of the podcast consists of a testimonial by Professor Bill Blake who was with us for several weeks in March of this year. Bill does a great job of relating his thoughts and feelings after an intensive Heart of the Initiate workshop experience.

The podcast closes with a few final words from Ralph.

We are excited to offer the first episode of our podcast!

In this podcast, we invite you to listen to a lecture given by Ralph Miller on the sacred plant medicine Ayahuasca. Making the assumption that listeners know nothing about this ancient plant teacher, Ralph talks about what Ayahuasca is and tells the story of how it is moving out of the jungle and into the Western consciousness, helping humans create a bridge back to our ancient past, a reconnection to the sacred primal force within us all. In the process, he explains the distinction between what we call "drugs" and the Ayahuasca plant medicine. Ralph also touches on some of the biological and chemical aspects of our brain's inherent connection with the active ingredient in the Ayahuascsa brew, dimethytriptamine (DMT), through our pineal gland.

Throughout the podcast, Peter and Chapman pause the lecture to clarify some questions that might come up for the listeners.

We are very happy to offer this new technology to everyone interested in our workshops.
