Luke Miller
“While these substances are beautiful, they can leave you ungrounded if you keep asking questions and not exploring the answers.”
“There’s a fine line between exploring and getting utterly, completely lost.”
“[With Ayahuasca] you need to be grounded.”
“I don’t fully understand the medicine because it’s different every time.”
“Drinking Ayahuasca: It’s about finding the right place and the right people.”
“It seems to be a very Western thing to think that we know more about indigenous cultures than the indigenous themselves.”
“We are guardians of our children, but they have their own free will and we need to let them experience that and fail.”
“Whenever I’m stuck, look back at old to do lists to see where I’m at.”
"I don’t have to apologize for being here.”
Lola Pickett
“If you don’t follow through with the guidance you’re given, getting more guidance isn’t going to do you any good.”
“What Ayahuasca might tell you won’t be a truth with a capital T, but something in that moment that you need to explore."
“Medicine works with you long before and long after ceremony.”
“The medicine is a doorway and vehicle, but it’s up to us to take those teachings and do something with it.”
“Step away from the drug of reading about other people’s medicine experiences.”
“We as humans are adorable with all our attempts at understanding this existence.”
“There’s no moment more beautiful than right now.”
“Being human is messy and we’re not going to do it perfectly.”
“Being choiceful is what makes us powerful.”
“If you’re not creating much space for implementation, then your feet aren’t fully on this earth and your potential impact is diminished.”
“We are a mess, in progress."
