“Protecting the rainforest and protecting the indigenous are one and the same.”

In this crucial junction of history, bridging indigenous wisdom as well as balancing the masculine and feminine is all the more important.

In the dialogue today with Alexandra Schwarz-Schilling, Founder of Coaching Spirale in Berlin and Founder of Living Gaia, a holistic healing biotope in Alto Paraiso, Brazil. The joint endeavour we are exploring is building a holistic retreat centre in Brazil and preserving the indigenous lands of the Huni Kuin.

In our dialogue we dive deep into:

• Different indigenous traditions from North America and the Amazon.
• A critique of patriarchy and the history of the sexes.
• An appreciative yet critical view on Ayahuasca. We both agree that we should drink the medicine time and again but approach it with respect, as well as take time to integrate. Ultimately it’s about not giving you responsibility away and to not make a cult out of plant medicine.
