37. A Sacred Path with Ayahuasca at Soltara: Melissa Stangl and Dan Cleland

As many of you know, my partner Rick and I have been on transformational plant medicine retreats, initially to explore, but ultimately to support our healing and soul growth. If you’ve not already listened to the episode we recorded on our individual experiences with plant medicine, click here to check it out. Today, I invited Dan and Melissa – the co-founders of Soltara Healing Centre where Rick and I last visited for a retreat – onto the show to answer all of your questions and curiosities that you may be thinking about trying plant medicine. They share with us what exactly plant medicine is, the advice they have for first timers who are interested or intrigued, and dive deep into the role plan medicine has played for thousands of years and nowadays as it’s more commonly used as a medicinal tool for transformation.
