Learning about ayahuasca in 2011, randomly when at a business lunch - the day after breaking up with my girlfriend - and taking it a year later for the first time

Changed my life fundamentally

Interested to know how it changed your life?

My wife and I have been watching a show on Netflix called "How to Change your Mind" and have been contemplating trying either LSD, shrooms or ayahuasca (we're not really druggies, we're just really interested in living more connected and meaningful lives and it seems those substances really help in initiating the process).

Just saw this. Yeah it’s hard to describe. I took it a few times a year for about 7 years with a wonderful community in Europe and Brazil. I’m just a very different person now than when I started. Sometimes it was a fundamental shift, other times more gradual.

It sounds like you have a good approach though. I’m also not someone who drinks or takes drugs, and come at it more from the Pollan way of thinking. All the best
