Jimmy Nguyen sits down with Dr. Glauber Assis, a respected sociologist, author, and leader in Brazil’s sacred plant community. Together, they explore the role of gratitude, groundedness, and connection in uncertain times. Dr. Assis shares his journey from a conservative upbringing to founding a vibrant community rooted in ayahuasca tradition, all while bridging indigenous wisdom and modern science.
The conversation explores the balance between honoring tradition and fostering inclusivity, examining how both artificial and ancestral intelligence influence personal growth. Listeners will discover why true healing originates from within, why culture and community play a crucial role in psychedelic work, and how meaningful questions, rather than quick answers, pave the way to transformation.
Tune in for reflections on freedom, authenticity, and co-creating a more compassionate world.
