Accepting The Body I Was Born Into
Mushrooms help expand the mind to offer us new possibilities for living and thinking. I chose a new thought pattern, and kept at it, even when doubts and old patterns worked to creep back in. Eventually, the new thought pattern replaced the old and I was living in a much kinder, exciting atmosphere. My body continues to morph and my love and appreciation sustains.

Review: The Buena Vida Psilocybin Retreats
The Buena Vida has always had its roots planted in the spirits of warm community & playful curiosity and over the last years Amanda built and cultivated a process and a space to heal like none other. Her deep respect for the Mushroom (Psilocybin) spirit, for ceremony and for Spirit Plant Medicine is so very evident in her retreats.
Kambo Healing, The Medicine of the Amazon
For me, Kambo healing represents my ability to sit with discomfort that I might usher in a better way of living. So many of the dreams/intentions/goals I have require me to get outside my comfort zone, they require effort, practice, focus and a clear channel for inspiration to flow through. My mode tends to a more hedonistic, "feel good NOW" sort of decision making process. It's perfect for absorbing and appreciating the beautiful world around me but it's a pain in the ass when I want to change, grow and pull off something great.
Yoni Steaming (aka Vaginal Steaming)
The thought of sending hot steam up through my vagina seemed both bizzare and genius to me. You may know this Mayan healing lineage ritual by the name of Yoni Steaming, yoni being the Sanskrit word for womb/source/abode/origin that connotes the deeply spiritual and emotional whole of a woman's reproductive magic.
Tulsa Massacre Healing Ritual
From May 31-June 1 White terrorists rioted, looted, aircraft bombed and burned down a prosperous Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 10,000 Black people were left homeless, 35 blocks we're laid to waste and over 300 lives were lost. 99 years later our Ancestors are rolling through the land like deep thunder, "Let the olds ways burn, the war has been won and love conquers all" * * *
I can highly recommend Kambo to anyone looking for a reset, a fresh new beginning. This medicine cleared me of all thought patterns that said I was worthless and and brought me back into balance. It restored my capacity to meditate and most beautifully, Kambo strengthened the connection and communication between the mind, body and spirit so that it could balance itself, naturally. The lifelong journey in balance just got a little easier ya’ll!
