In this interview, I asked Don Lucio to tell me a little bit about himself, his family and how he came to set up Selva Madre. I asked him to discuss his childhood, his beliefs, how he became a Shaman including his own personal experiences of Ayahuasca and the tools he uses as a Shaman. I asked him how to do we know a good retreat centre from a bad one, what we should be looking for when it comes to the ingredients of the Ayahuasca Brew itself, how many ceremonies should we be taking… and finally any advice he has for anybody taking the Ayahuasca Journey!
The Birth of Intrepid Wisdom
Have you ever wondered what your life purpose is? Have you ever questioned – Why am I here? What is it I am meant to be doing with my life? How may I serve? Then you should be able to resonate with the frustration of not being able to figure that out, too!?
Guided Sleep Meditation
Sleep is an incredibly important part of our immune system, management of stress, and daily functioning. Without a good night sleep everything can seem so challenging. It is during sleep hours that our body detoxifies, replenishes itself and heals. If we don’t allow the body some down time we begin to feel dis-eased, suffering higher levels of cortisol in the body which lead us to feeling more stress and anxiety, along with raised blood pressure among others ailments.
Ask the Elders…
I feel there is a value in reconnecting our hearts, with the wisdom of our older and younger generation. I feel there is a value in the wisdom of natural healing, of our stories, of our traditions, and of the simple art of communication and connection. Whether it is about life, love, relationships, business, entrepreneurship, health, spirituality, life purpose, age etc. There is something to be learned, from each of the generations.
