Ep. 55 - Adam Aronovich - Ayahuasca, Medical Anthropology, Research & Meaning

Hey everybody! Episode 55 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Adam Aronovich. Adam and I met in the Amazon jungle working at the plant medicine center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where he originally came down working on his doctoral thesis. He ended up living, studying, and working in the jungle for five years. I think Adam brings a really unique and important perspective to this work, being able to merge his academic work and observations with his time spent learning from plants and working as a facilitator with guests going through a ceremonial experience. This podcast ending up going quite long, over four hours, which I thought it may, but it’s filled with a lot of insights, observations, and knowledge from Adam’s time and life. It was a pleasure for me to catch up and converse with him and I think you all will gain a lot out of this episode.
