In this episode of The Dystopian Renaissance Podcast, we welcome Akal Pritam Kaur, a Kambo practitioner, and a certified Kundalini yoga guide, as our guest. She also learned to be a Meshika dancer on her spiritual journey with the elders of tribal communities like Wixárika (the healing people).
Akal divulges how she started her healing journey and shares her experience with spiritual retreats. We also dive deep into the world of Kundalini yoga and explore Kambo practices. Akal shares how she gradually transitioned from a practitioner to a healer while helping those in need. We then shift the gears to understand the role of elders and different communities in Akal’s healing process.
