Episode notes
Partnership Sparked At The Intersection Of Plants And Sexuality
- Ariel and Rahi met through colleagues exploring plant medicine and sacred intimacy, which became the 'magic carpet' for their work.
- Their collaboration grew from mutual trainings: Ariel sought plant medicine counsel and Rahi taught genital dearmoring to Ariel.
Keep Sexual Work Outside Medicine Sessions
- Separate high-dose psychedelic ceremonies from explicit sexual work; use somatic sexual practices for preparation and integration instead.
- Ariel runs embodiment journeys outside of ayahuasca sessions to open participants and aid integration.
San Pedro Amplifies Feeling Over Vision
- San Pedro (Wachuma) at low doses centers heart and sensation rather than vivid visions, meeting each couple where they're ready.
- Ariel explained San Pedro means 'without a head' and amplifies feeling and embodiment more than visual trips.
