🍊 Hello family,
It’s Danny—your humble facilitator and co-founder of Harmala Temple. I’ve just returned from three weeks in the upper Amazon, having completed a plant dieta at Inca Shipiba Ancestral Healing Center, just outside of Nauta, Peru.
The land was alive in every sense—towering trees, trails winding through the underbrush, a creek cutting through the valley, and the constant song of jungle creatures. The days were filled with silence, journaling, hammock time, and listening—deep listening. And of course… the dieta food: flavorless oatmeal, eggs, rice, lentils, and broth.
During this time, I began organizing notes for a book I’m writing—a reflection on this decade-long path from musician and guardian to facilitator and co-founder of our beloved Harmala Temple. Nearly ten years ago, I sat with Ayahuasca for the first time. That moment changed everything.
This Wednesday, I’ll be joining my wife and temple co-creator Malia on her weekly community call, The Psychedelic Connection, to share more about the dieta, the power of icaros, and Aya Dreams Project—my latest offering for those walking the path of integration, vision, and dream.
Drop an 👁️ in comments to join us.
Grateful to share the road with all of you.
With love and humility,
Danny
