About this listen
For the first episode of Ayahuasca Anonymous I'm joined by Mark, who I volunteered with in Ecuador for 3 months at a plant medicine retreat. Last name withheld so corporate bigwigs can't deny him jobs!
Mark has a very relatable story of finding himself stuck in life. After a decade of "living it up" in New York City's underground music scene, he was burnt out. He left the city to be a 'normal' person', and instead found himself lost in a stable but boring job, feeling trapped by life.
We talk about how Ayahuasca and San Pedro gave him the courage to make a big change and leap into the unknown, ultimately landing him back in the audio world, where he now edits podcasts professionally (thank god, I needed the tips).
We also talk about failure, Selling out, parents, the importance of community and vulnerability, what we learned as ayahuasca volunteers vs being guests, the pros and cons of the "retreat" business model, future anxiety during social upheaval, and MORE!
