Ayahuasca Chat with Bari Muka Yuxiba
During my last visit to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, I had the opportunity to spend more intimate time with my friend and Huni Kuin shaman, Bari Muka Yuxiba.
Bari led my most recent ayahuasca ceremony in February alongside Cacique Paruaña. The timing of my ceremony felt divinely orchestrated, coinciding perfectly with Bari’s visit to Salvador.
Before I left, Bari and I had the chance to talk about ayahuasca and his journey—from his childhood initiation to his recent ceremonial work across Brazil.
If you’ve ever been curious about ayahuasca, I hope this video offers you deeper insight and sparks even greater curiosity. Ayahuasca is more than just a plant medicine—it’s a doorway to self-discovery, healing, and profound transformation.
For those feeling called to explore this sacred tradition firsthand, I’m excited to share that I’ll be offering a special retreat to Salvador in November 2025. This immersive experience will provide a safe and supportive space to connect with the medicine, guided by experienced shamans in an intentional setting.
