#19 - Journeying with Huachuma (San Pedro) the Grandfather Medicine

Apostol and Max talk about the Huachma which is also called San Pedro and is referred to the grandfather medicine (compared to Ayahuasca being the grandmother). Max shares his recent experience of a 2-week Huachuma retreat in Peru and Apostol shares his one-time initiatiory experience involving Huachuma and a Temazcal (swedge lodge). They extensively talk about ancestoral trauma and how to work with it using plant medicine. At the end Max shares his comparison between MDMA and Huachuma as two hear-opening medicines.

Notes:
The social meditation practice at the beginning is inspired by similar practices created by Vince Fakhoury Horn from Buddhist Geeks.
