Pete and Luke explore the profound connections between practicing Jiu Jitsu and embarking on spiritual healing journeys. Luke shares his experiences from training in Juujitsu, starting at age 37, and his work with plant medicine retreats in Peru aimed at healing PTSD and other challenges. They discuss the concept of 'invisible juujitsu' and how both Juujitsu and spiritual practices like meditation or plant medicine ceremonies require one to confront and overcome personal limitations. Additionally, the episode delves into the brain mapping and neurofeedback that Luke incorporates into his retreats to help participants understand the neurological impact of their healing journey. The conversation highlights powerful stories of transformation, emphasizing the importance of trust, commitment, and integrating new practices into daily life for lasting change.
