Sacred Medicine
The Medicines I Have Walked With
Over more than three decades, my path has crossed many plant medicines — in ceremony, in different lands, under different teachers in various traditions. What follows here is not an invitation or an offering. It’s a record: a way of naming what I’ve sat with, so that when you read my stories, you can click through and understand what Santo Daime is, what Ayahuasca is, what San Pedro is, and the place each one holds in the journey I’ve walked. These are descriptions drawn from lived experience, not a menu.
