Deep Into the Vine: The Medicine Hunter on Ayahuasca, Shamans, and the Cosmic Experience | Chris Kilham

Chris Kilham — the Medicine Hunter, author of fifteen books, and a man the New York Times once called "part David Attenborough, part Indiana Jones" — returns to Care More Be Better for a third time to go deep into the vine. With 65 shamans and twelve years of ceremony across the Amazon behind him, Chris and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the line between authentic plant medicine and cultural appropriation, the shared visions that gave ayahuasca its old name Telepathine, the three enduring camps of psychedelic culture, and where to actually find a trustworthy ceremony. Important Note Ayahuasca contains DMT, a Schedule I substance in the United States. This episode discusses plant medicine in an educational and harm-reduction context. Always consult a qualified medical professional before pursuing any plant medicine experience, and research the legal status in your location through resources such as ICEERS.
