FAR OUT #88 ~ Exploring Ayahuasca: Shaman Zach Poitra on the Path of Pura Medicina (Episode 6) - a podcast by Julie-Roxane Krikorian, Alasdair Plambeck

What's it take to be a shaman?

Zach Poitra comes back on the show to take us deeper into the medicine. You can think of this conversation as ayahuasca 200 :)

Zach shares with us the fundamental role that icaros and shamanic dietas play in becoming an ayahuascero. We also dive into the importance of ancestors and lineage when working with such a powerful plant (or any spiritual practice).

From there conversation veers off into all sorts of interesting places, including the teacher/student relationship, witchcraft, cultural appropriation and the challenges Zach sees for westerners who start down this path.
