How Shamanism & Plant Medicine Shaped Our Family - in Conversation with My Dad | EP 15

On this very special episode of Healing and Human Potential, we are joined by Alyssa's dad to discuss his journey with plant medicine and shamanism.

In the 1990s, after years of feeling depressed and lost, he discovered the healing power of plant medicine through a Shaman in Peru. He then went on to study under this Shaman and eventually apprentice him. Growing up in ceremony, Alyssa shares the healing that occurred in her family by virtue of her father's transformation, and how plant medicine shaped her young adulthood.

This is a beautiful conversation for anyone wanting to learn more about plant medicine, shamanism, and healing family dynamics.

As a long-time student and practitioner of the shamanic arts and one who has experienced the transformative nature of this practice, Ray Nobriga has been steadfast in his commitment to serving all those who seek to realize their full potential via the shamanic way. Embracing the shamanic view that life is a creative process helps to foster interdependence and the ability to walk a path of balance upon Mother Earth.

Responding to the vision and calling he received to create a place for people to come to awaken, remember, and transform, Ray founded The Sanctuary at Mt. Shasta (www.thesanctuaryatmtshasta.com), a 40-acre retreat center in Mt. Shasta, California.

In alignment with this vision, he offers shamanic classes/workshops, healing services, ceremonies and hosts special events.
