Nick Keene is the owner and manager of the Egremont Barn in Western Massachusetts. He rejoins us for an update on his journey training to be a pourer of Ayahuasca, a potent plant medicine long used by indigenous peoples in South America.

In our conversation with Nick we discuss:

His last two years training to be a pourer of Ayahuasca
Trauma and re-traumatizing
The importance of integration post-ceremony
Plant medicine shadow work vs classic Jungian shadow work
How to face the fear of that first time experience
His suicide attempt and how it shaped his journey
Trauma vs neglect and why the distinction matters

...and more!
