Listen to the Podcast

Today we welcome back the mighty Tony Moss for a deep dive on ayahuasca healing for ancestral trauma and post traumatic slave syndrome. 

On the show we discuss Tony’s first experiences with ayahuasca over 20 years ago through the Santo Daime church. Tony shares his own experience healing ancestral trauma in ceremony. We talk about epigenetics and the current understanding of ancestral healing from indigenous to modern worldviews. Tony describes his first experience leading an all-Black ceremony and finally we discuss the state of race in America today. 

Tony Moss is a musician, artist, and founder of I.AM.LIFE, a non-profit event production project focused on interconnectivity. He has been working with ayahuasca for 20 years in jurisdictions where it is legal and is a public advocate for the decriminalization and responsible use of all plant medicines. Tony is passionate about the synthesis of indigenous and modern world views.
