The Journey of The Sacred Medicine Wheel, an interview with author Michael Purvis
Have we lost touch with our ancient roots of plant medicine?
Author Michael Purvis joins Brad Szollose on Awakened Nation to discuss tribal medicine traditions like Ayahuasca (pronounced 'eye-ah-WAH-ska'), Cannabis a.k.a. Gatunlaté and Peyote, and how the modern world is slowly starting to embrace the trauma healing qualities of each.
Michael shares his own journey of returning from war, suffering from PTSD, being homeless, and eventually discovering the tools of journaling and ancient plant medicine.
This is an amazing episode of healing, and an authentic discussion on spirituality, purpose and healing.
HOST OF AWAKENED NATION: Brad Szollose
