The first time I heard my friend in New York City had a Shaman in Manhattan and was taking Ayahuasca I was shocked. Then I read more about ceremonies popping up in Silicon Valley for executives and technology companies and gatherings in South Miami amongst friends. As I'm learning more about the demand in the USA for plant medicine I've started to receive a number of friends and guests who visit Montanita, Ecuador in order to try Ayahuasca or other plant medicines such as San Pedro. On this episode I sit down with Roey Klein, owner of the Vikara Retreat Center, a local expert, to learn more about Ayahuasca, Plant Medicine and Transformational Retreats. We talk about:
- What is Vikara Retreat Center and its history?
- What is Plant Medicine? Starts minute 10:33
- The difference between Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Peyote
- What is an Ayahuasca Retreat and a ceremony like?
- What is a Shaman and what are they like here in Ecuador?
- Ayahuasca Tourism dangers and bad experiences
