The Universe Within Podcast Ep. 104 - Chris Kilham - Medicine Hunter, Bridging Worlds, & Plant Medicines
Hey everybody! Episode 104 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Chris Kilham. Chris is also know as the Medicine Hunter and is an author, educator and yogi. He is the founder of Medicine Hunter Inc., and conducts medicinal plant research and sustainable botanical sourcing in over 45 countries. I met Chris a few years ago when I was working at the Amazonian plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where Chris came together with his wife Zoe Helen (who I hope to have on in the next few episodes), and brought a group of guests there. Chris is really interesting guy and has led a fantastic life of exploration, discovery, and education in the field of plant medicine. He is the author of a number of book including Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook: The Essential Guide to Ayahuasca Journeying, The Five Tibetans, and The Lotus and The Bud: Cannabis, Consciousness, and Yoga Practice. It was a pleasure to have him on to speak about his work, medicinal plants, and the world at large. I think you all will enjoy and gain a lot out of this episode.
