Tune into the transformative journey of Stace Povey, former founder and lead facilitator of Dreamglade, an ayahuasca retreat center nestled in the Amazonian jungle of Iquitos, Peru that I’ve had the honor of visiting in 2017 and 2022. Join us as we delve into his relationship with the medicine of ayahuasca, other plant medicines and mind-altering substances, tracing the evolution of his relationship with these powerful tools from his earliest encounters to how he relates to them today.

In this candid and refreshing conversation, Stace shares the story of how his path unexpectedly led him to Peru, the experiences that shaped his calling to establish Dreamglade, and the remarkable journey of running and ultimately transitioning this retreat center to new ownership after 10 years. His decisiveness and unwavering trust in the face of monumental transitions offer invaluable insights for anyone navigating periods of change, providing solace and inspiration in the midst of endings and new beginnings.

I hope you find this conversation valuable and inspiring and that it finds you at the right time in your life. 

About Stace:

Stacy Stephen Povey was born in London, England, but has spent the last 16 years living in Peru. He has dedicated most of that time to helping as many people as possible through working with the local medicinal plants and indigenous healing practices.

His journey began at 18 years old, where he realized that the thing that scared him more than anything else was that one day, he would reach the end of his life and he would look back with enormous regret that he had not lived it to the absolute fullest. He vowed, then and there, that he would live his life in such a way that when he reached a ripe old age, he could write a book about it all. 

Since that fateful decision, his journey has been one filled with some pretty epic adventures, with extensive travels to all corners of the globe, including 3 Atlantic crossings by sailboat and driving an old army truck, solo, across the Sahara desert. In the 90's he organized underground dance parties in the South of Portugal. 

His most recent quest was building a beautiful Shamanic Healing Center in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. He ran that very successful and highly regarded healing center, Dreamglade, for 10 years and personally helped facilitate the healing journeys of over 2000 guests.

Stace currently lives in the Northern Amazon region of Peru with his Peruvian partner and 3 beautiful children.
