Have seen quite a few people say it is not a good idea to work with someone who is not a trained shaman. Even when you have very experienced shamans Ayahuasca can be hugely challenging and can drastically change your life. I went to the best retreat centre in Peru I could find and still ended up being taken to hospital. There are real risks involved.

Sharing the story of my first encounter with Ayahuasca nine years ago. Hope you enjoy...

Great storytelling man. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely!

Marten! Thanks for sharing man! Listened to the whole recording. Takes courage to share that. Such an outpouring of joy. It’s amazing you were able to capture it. “In God’s band now” ...love it!

Love this one by Rumi Gone to the Unseen At last you have departed and gone to the Unseen. What marvelous route did you take from this world? Beating your wings and feathers, you broke free from this cage. Rising up to the sky you attained the world of the soul. You were a prized falcon trapped by an Old Woman. Then you heard the drummer’s call and flew beyond space and time. As a lovesick nightingale, you flew among the owls. Then came the scent of the rosegarden and you flew off to meet the Rose. The wine of this fleeting world caused your head to ache. Finally you joined the tavern of Eternity. Like an arrow, you sped from the bow and went straight for the bull’s eye of bliss. This phantom world gave you false signs But you turned from the illusion and journeyed to the land of truth. You are now the Sun – what need have you for a crown? You have vanished from this world – what need have you to tie your robe? I’ve heard that you can barely see your soul. But why look at all? – yours is now the Soul of Souls! O heart, what a wonderful bird you are. Seeking divine heights, Flapping your wings, you smashed the pointed spears of your enemy. The flowers flee from Autumn, but not you – You are the fearless rose that grows amidst the freezing wind. Pouring down like the rain of heaven you fell upon the rooftop of this world. Then you ran in every direction and escaped through the drain spout . . . Now the words are over and the pain they bring is gone. Now you have gone to rest in the arms of the Beloved.

I work as a concept artist and use paintings and 3d animations to communicate complex ideas in a simple & clear way. Its a huge benefit to have the skill to be able to communicate in that way. Ive relied on it a lot as I sometimes struggle to communicate as well verbally and have recently started trying to improve in that area. I really admire people who can fully express with their voice and body.

Thankyou. I drew these on an ipad.

Thanks PurpleTree. Here is an older one...

Thanks!

Love going for walks all year round but particularly love the autumn colours with all the leaves on the ground. Drew this the other day trying to capture the feeling of a stroll and state of mind...

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

Incredible. Thankyou for sharing!

So funny, was feeling the same the last couple of days. That we’re here for the music and to dance. Feel so much like celebrating.
