La.cuna’s Flagship Piece: A Conversation with Ayahuasca
An excerpt:
“The two stroke engine howls as we push the aluminium contraption along the wide brown tumultuous flow of the Amazon River. We are going with the tide and everything about today is leading me towards the jungle, Ayahuasca and the unknown. I wonder if the dolphin is a sign of good things to come: a spray of air and an exposed fin, another image for my memory bank. I did not know there were dolphins in the Amazon River, apparently there are two breeds, a pink one and a brown one, this one is the latter. I am travelling to the Refugio Altiplano with another Australian named Brett. Like most of my adventures, we met by chance. I had been thinking for a little while about Ayahuasca and so I said to the Universe that if it is for me and the offer is presented, I will take it. Out of the blue Brett asked, on the second day after we met, if any of us would like to do an Ayahuasca ceremony. I put my hand up and here we are, dodging large submerged logs and branches speeding up the Amazon.”
