Ayahuasca, Trauma & Coming Home to Your Body With Francesca Barone
About this episode
Francesca Barone discusses her journey of healing from trauma and the importance of embodiment in the context of ayahuasca and feminine energy.
Step into a deeply feminine, embodied, and soul-stirring sisterhood conversation with Francesca Barone, co-founder of Anam Kara Healing Retreats, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Francesca is devoted to preserving indigenous shamanic wisdom and guiding people into safe, transformative plant medicine ceremonies rooted in embodiment, ritual, and reverence for the Earth. Francesca shares her journey from survival-based resilience into radical softness, revealing how years of trauma, addiction, and pushing through life shaped her nervous system, leadership, and relationships. She opens up about building her ayahuasca retreat center from a place of endurance rather than ease, and the deep reckoning that came when she realized she had everything she thought she wanted, yet still did not feel safe, held, or at home in her body.
