Ask 'For What?' with Mayan Entrepreneur Anita Cortez Chac Anita Cortez Chac, Julie-Roxane Krikorian, Alasdair Plambeck 01:45:49 [Repost] Anita is a force to be reckoned with. She began her business career at eight after she sold her first banana to a gringo on the streets of San Pedro and she's never looked back. In her early twenties she walked away from a life that had no place for her in it, becoming a single mother and an outcast. Anita shares her journey through adversity and how it has made her who she is today: a successful female role model who's mission is to improve the very community that once shunned her. Both uplifting and heartbreaking, her story gives a window into what it was like to grow up as a Mayan woman in a small town in Guatemala. Its a story you don't want to miss.

She was found on the opposite side of the freeway, forty feet from the wreckage, unconscious and turning blue. Shawna woke up from a coma three weeks later. Doctors predicted severe brain damage and expected she'd never walk again. Within four weeks she walked out of the hospital completely healed. During her time on the other side, Shawna experienced a spiritual awakening she would keep more or less quiet about for the next two decades, where she met a body of light beings she calls "The Council." When she returned to this world, she found herself blasted open energetically and in touch with overwhelming intuitive and psychic powers she hadn't known before. We talk with Shawna about her extraordinary near death experience and her subsequent journey over the last 27 years as a healer and spiritual guide.

    ]]>     FAR OUT #94 ~ Rolf Potts on Vagabonding: Going through Life as a Pilgrim, not a Consumer Alasdair & Julie-Roxane 01:27:25 Perhaps no other travel book has had such an influence on our generation as Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts. Indeed, it was the book which opened Alasdair's eyes to the possibilities and freedom of long-term travel at the beginning of his journey in 2014. Vagabond, an old latin-derived term referring to a wanderer with no fixed home, is a word that Rolf's work has elevated to encapsulate a way of life for travelers ever since 2002. In his book, Rolf provides an incredibly useful and relevant guide for approaching long-term travel while also laying out an uncommon outlook on life that emphasizes the virtues of wandering, simplifying, taking it slow, living intentionally and truly experiencing where we are. As such, the philosophy Rolf writes about is as relevant (if not more) in our post-pandemic world as when it was originally written. We invited Rolf on the show to talk about vagabonding as a way of life, its virtues and the things that most commonly get in the way. Let's get into it! Perhaps no other travel book has had such an influence on our generation as Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts. Indeed, it was the book which opened Alasdair's eyes to the possibilities and freedom of long-term travel at the beginning of his journey in 2014.

We're glad you asked! On this week's episode we sit down with our friend Michael Peterson who has been "working with the medicine" intensely for the last two years. We met Michael on an ayahuasca retreat earlier this year in March and have since participated in many kambo and ayahuasca ceremonies together. We explore how after completing two graduate degrees, Michael ended up in the jungles of Peru drinking ayahuasca. Michael shares his journey to that point, along with his experience training as a tobaquero (one who specifically works with tobacco), the power of dieta and a wide-range of fascinating thoughts and reflections on spirituality, meditation, trauma, healing and life on the medicine path.

One of our favorite things about solo travel is the devil-may-care attitude of having an idea one day and changing your plans for the next month and embarking on an epic, uncertain adventure the very next day. At it's best, this kind of travel is wildly uncomfortable and intensely magical. You never know what the day might bring, who you might meet or what you might discover. This story is one of Alasdair's favorite (and well-earned, we might add) travel stories. It began with a crazy idea while in the mountains of Georgia, and took him across an ancient desert, several international borders and into a country that technically doesn't exist. In the end it's a heartwarming story about asking for help, meeting family in the most unlikely of places and one shiny, red Swiss army pocket knife. Let's get into it!
