Today’s guest is Ethnographer & Human Rights Investigator,  Vitor Da Silva. Vitor is on a lifelong mission for the rights of Indigenous People. He works independently to help and defend lives and protect land whilst also working alongside wonderful charities like Survival International. Vitor is a field investigator and in today's podcast we dig deeper into his time with the Noke Kuin people of the Amazon. We discuss the importance of their rituals and how it has helped them not only resist the violence and racism they receive on a daily basis, but to become an even stronger community, a community that thrives as a collective. We find out how the sacred plant medicine ayahuasca, can pass down the knowledge of previous generations in a community where there is no written language. Through rituals and altered states they keep their culture and wisdom alive.

Mendel Kaelen is a neuroscientist, CEO & Co founder of Wavepaths.  Wavepaths is a well-being startup whose vision is to restore our innate capacities to heal through music by creating soundscapes for psychedelic therapy and as psychedelic therapy. Mendel is a pioneer in psychedelic research and has connected the significance of music and its potential to enhance the journey and senses whilst creating a healing experience. Mendel is helping shape the future of mental health by creating powerful sonic experiences. Throughout history music has been used to heal, and I believe that how Wavepaths combine this emotional reconnection through sound, psychedelics and therapeutic guidance to be a modern scientific approach to an ancient art.
