Spiritual Dope Podcast: Carlos Tanner's Ayahuasca Journey

In this episode of the Spiritual Dope podcast, Carlos Tanner, founder of the Ayahuasca Foundation, shares his incredible journey from addiction to enlightenment through Ayahuasca. He discovered the power of plant medicine after hitting rock bottom and receiving a life-changing email from a friend inviting him to experience Ayahuasca in Peru.

Carlos Tanner's Transformation

Carlos ventured to Peru and became a student of Don Juan, a healer who taught him about plant medicine. After four years of learning, recording, and documenting his experiences, Carlos realized that he could have learned faster with the right educational materials. This realization led him to start the Ayahuasca Foundation and create a retreat center to share his knowledge and help others learn about plant medicine safely and effectively.

Founding the Ayahuasca Foundation

Despite facing numerous challenges, such as living with Don Juan's large family and adapting to a different culture, Carlos persisted in his mission to share his knowledge. After meeting other shamans and finding a mentor in Don Enrique Lopez, Carlos finally established the Ayahuasca Foundation to teach others about plant medicine.

Life in Peru and the Plant Medicine Community

Although living in the Peruvian Amazon isn't for everyone, some people have made it work by starting businesses in agriculture and joining the community of retreat centers like the Ayahuasca Foundation. The plant medicine community is not just about getting high; they are serious about exploring the depths of healing through Ayahuasca and other medicinal plants.

The Importance of Cleansing and Respecting Ayahuasca

Carlos emphasizes the importance of cleansing your digestive system before taking plant medicines and ensuring good digestion and nourishment. The purification process is crucial for removing toxins and purifying various systems in the body. Ayahuasca has become popular, but sustainable harvesting and respecting the sacred nature of the plant should be a priority. Carlos can be reached through the Ayahuasca Foundation website or social media platforms.
