Ep.92 Beyond AA, The 13th Step: How Ayahusaca Led Me Back To My True Self

About this episode

Gillian shares her transformative journey with Ayahuasca and how it helped her achieve true recovery from addiction.

Don’t miss this episode where Gillian shares how Ayahuasca led her back to her true self and real recovery after a long struggle with addiction. Even though she was already sober for some years, she didn’t feel better, she was still on heavy medications and struggling with personal relationships. But when you keep seeking, God will find a way for you and for Gillian that path was working with sacred plants. Thanks to years of dedicated healing work combined with plant medicine Gillian is now fully recovered and not in recovery anymore. She experienced true freedom and liberation by becoming aware of the bigger picture and seeing her past from a different perspective. She realized that there no bad drugs only bad relationships to drugs, and that we are the problem but also we are the solution. Her book: Entheogenic Earth, A Modern Mystic’s Journey Through Visionary Medicine & Indigenous Traditions is available now in her Etsy store or on Amazon!
