Grief often brings us faceto- face with the complexities of our emotions and, for me, it was no different. When I was navigating the pain of the loss of my mentor, I found solace in the works of Mary Oliver. A phrase from the poem
Grief was something I was familiar with: the loss of my dear mentor, the passing of family members and friends, and, most recently, the ending of my marriage. The ayahuasca told me to forgive myself and everyone else in my dreams. What followed next was this extraordinary wave of freedom and peace, causing me to sob tears of joy. I was no longer carrying the weight of those feelings, or the stories and the meaning that accompanied them.
My real transformation happened not at the retreat but after I returned to my daily life. The unnecessary baggage I had been carrying started to fall away. My head was connected to my heart again and my purpose in life became clearer. I found deeper connections with others. I rediscovered a love for my work that I hadn’t felt in years.
