It Might Sound Crazy...But...

I find myself saying this a lot lately.

It might sound crazy but I’m going to Peru.
It might sound crazy but I’m not taking my husband. Or my kids.
It might sound crazy but I’m going to the Amazon to take part in an Ayahuasca ceremony (or four).  

I’m booking a trip for me. Spending money on myself. Taking 10 days away from my daughters and my husband.

Just so I can go to the jungle and drink a hallucinogenic tea? Yep, I’m saying yes to Peru.

Earlier this summer I felt the call of plant medicine. I felt an urge to learn about the abundance that surrounds us. It made me think of ayahuasca, after all, what stronger plant medicine can there be? When the chance came to go on an 18 day excursion, I didn’t take it.  I was too worried to leave my daughters. It was a hard decision to say no when the urge to go felt so strong. But when a recent trip was changed to 10 days, I immediately said yes. YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!

This trip is all heart. My head says it’s crazy. How can I leave my girls, how can I spend the money, shouldn’t I prioritize family first, am I not afraid of spiders (though I’m not sure what spiders are in the amazon but my guess is there are many),  and am I seriously going to do ayahuasca?

But the call is so strong, I won’t deny it. On the last day of the Healing Grief and Trauma program the message to me was clear, “The time has come to make your own medicine”. And with that I saw a red bag, a medicine bag. I immediately thought of Peru. How perfect that on this trip we will begin to make our own medicine bundle.
