Al is back from the Amazon jungle, intact, transformed, and still very much himself—though who knows what shifts have truly taken place? In this third installment of the Ayahuasca Trilogy, Al shares the raw, unfiltered experience of stepping into the medicine.

In This Episode:

The journey deep into the jungle—canoes, pink-nosed dolphins, and the Shipibo tribe’s powerful welcome ritual
The retreat itself—what it’s like to live in the heart of the Amazon, surrounded by sacred ceremony and tribal wisdom
First encounters with plant medicine, including the rapé ceremony and its mind-clearing effects
The first ayahuasca ceremony—plunging into the unknown, the descent into fear, and the breakthrough moment of pure love and gratitude
The shamanic rituals—smoke ceremonies, Icaros (sacred songs), and the surreal presence of children in the maloka
The question that hit Al like a lightning bolt: "How many times do you need to hear the truth before you’ll accept it?"
Seeing the illusions of fear and temptation for what they really are
