In this episode, I catch up with my old friend Val Gorbacheva. She and I met during my second trip to Peru, when I was a guest and she was a facilitator at the now-defunct Pulse Tours Ayahuasca Retreat Centre. I was so grateful to hear her voice again and to hear the fascinating story of her journey since last we crossed paths. Between sound healing, dance, cacao ceremonies, and yoga proper, Val is truly pursuing the healer’s route. A fascinating guest and podcast!

Disclaimer: This is not meant as a recommendation that anyone participate in plant medicine ceremonies nor as a means to diagnose and treat any mental illness. While I owe my life in many ways to the work I did with ayahuasca, I do not advocate for nor against its use. I suggest that if you are interested in the medicine, that you do your research and become fully informed of its risks and benefits. In spite of its legal and cherished status in the places where it is found naturally, it remains a scheduled substance under the laws of many jurisdictions. I never broke the law in taking ayahuasca where I did and encourage you to respect the rule of law if you consider pursuing this avenue of healing.
