Here For The Truth

• Ep 248 - Amber Lee Sky | The Darkside of Ayahuasca

  This conversation examines the shadow aspects of the ayahuasca movement as our guest reveals disturbing patterns within ceremonial spaces, from sexual predation to spiritual bypassing and psychological manipulation. The discussion gets intense as we explore the commodification of indigenous medicine, the lack of proper integration support, and whether the plant medicine boom is creating more harm than healing. From vulnerable participants being exploited by unqualified facilitators to the Western appropriation of sacred traditions, this unflinching examination challenges the narrative that plant medicines are automatically beneficial or transformative. Through personal stories of demonic possession in 100-person ceremonies, predatory shamans, and nervous system burnout from excessive use, we confront the uncomfortable reality that the embrace of psychedelics by modern ‘spiritual communities’ may be masking deeper issues of addiction, escapism, and spiritual materialism rather than fostering genuine healing and integration.https://amberleesky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amberlee.sky/Subscribe to Here for the Truth Fridays.Take the Real AF Test Now!Discover Your Truth Seeker Archetype.Join our membership Friends of the Truth.Watch all our episodes.Connect with us on Telegram.Access all our links.Hosted by Joel Rafidi & YerasimosIntro and outro music: Illusion by Joel Rafidi
