The Universe Within Podcast Ep. 85 - Anne-Laure Vincke - Ayahuasca, The Dieta, & The Medicine Path
Hey everybody! Episode 85 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my new friend Anne-Laure Vincke. Anne-Laure has been involved in the medicine path for many years and I recently met her while she was working at the Shipibo diet and ayahuasca center, Shipibo Rao, José Lopez’s center. It was a pleasure for me to sit down and speak with her and she has a deep experiential knowledge of having worked with a number of different medicines and traditions. We spoke about her history, her work with the Red Path, her time in Ecuador working with Wachuma, and her time working and living in the jungle with plant dietas and working with ayahuasca. She has a beautiful and humble presence about her and is able to share from personal experience the wisdom she has gained and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode.

Anne-Laure Vincke was born in Canada and raised in Belgium in a medical doctor’s family. Artist and Medicine Woman, she has been walking and learning on the plant medicine path in Europe, Ecuador, Mexico, Columbia, and Peru for 17 years.
She began her journey of healing and spiritual reconnection at 19 with meditation in Nepal and India. At age 24 she started to train as a bodywork and breath-work therapist. At 26 she began to walk with the Red Path Tradition from where she received the blessings to run sweat lodges and Aguakolla (Watchuma) ceremonies. She began her initiation with Ayahuasca 12 years ago. Her call to master the art of healing led her to the Shipibo tradition. She started dieting Master Plants with Maestro Jose Lopez’s family in 2016 and began her apprenticeship with him in 2018.
Now fully dedicated to working with Ayahuasca, Master plants, and Sweat lodges, she works at Shipibo Rao, Maestro Jose’s healing center in Peru, as a facilitator and closely collaborates with the center’s work and mission in many ways. She accompanies and assists Maestro Jose in healing retreats outside of Peru. Back home in Europe, she runs intimate medicine ceremonies, sweat lodges and gives individual treatments. Her art is guided by the plants, paintings are mostly born within her dietas space.
