How do we bridge ancient indigenous wisdom with modern technology? That’s the central topic of this conversation with Vivien Vilela, a spiritual healer, philanthropist, and activist. She went from being a successful model in London to the Amazon jungle, where she took a sacred oath to serve her life as a “Marakame”, one that can heal, sing and dream – a master shaman.

Vivien does so through the BOA foundation and Aniwa, a gathering of 40 of the world’s most respected indigenous leaders from across the globe to share in their traditions, culture, and teachings. Aniwa takes place in Toland, MA June 5-9 this year (2019), and you get 15% off when you use code KSENIA15.

This episode also has a very special appearance by Benki Piyako, a chief and shaman of the Ashaninka tribe in the Amazon.

We discuss:

• How Vivien went from being a successful model to finding her true path in the jungle
• How she reintegrated in society after going through a spiritual awakening
• How she made money while in transition from modeling to dedicating her life to the ancient healing wisdom
• How to stay spiritually connected, no matter where you live
