Matt Mormello joins the show to share his own path with the medicine and practice of Ayahuasca. We start out with Matt sharing his chance encounter with the power of plant medicines after watching a documentary about them. In that moment he knew with clarity that he had to pursue deeper investigation. Part of Matt's personal story is one of overcoming an extremely rare cancer at an young age of 19 years old followed by years of opiate addiction.

Early in his plant medecine journey he met a kindred spirit in his now wife, Jeanae, who is an integral component of what they have built with New Life Ayahuasca. He shares the astonishing serendipity of how things fell into place and have led to the retreat offerings they make available today.

Finally, we spend some time talking about what newcomers to ayahuasca can expect as they embark on their own healing journey with Ayahuasca including how they can prepare to get the most from their experience and take it back home into their lives post-retreat.

This particular episode is special in that we recorded it down here in Costa Rica at the end of a retreat I myself was in attendance at. I'm forever grateful for the work and guidance that Matt, Jeanae, Craig and Lina offered all of us.
