Tom Boyle is a facilitator at ayahuasca ceremonies in Florida. In 2019, he had his first ayahuasca experience, which convinced him of the profound healing potential of this sacred plant medicine. Since then, he's been dedicated to guiding others on their paths to healing with ayahuasca and is currently writing a book that shares condensed stories of individuals' transformative experiences with ayahuasca. He joined guest host Connie Willis (info) to discuss that mission.
Boyle provided an overview of ayahuasca, explaining its origins from the Quechua language and its significance as spiritual medicine. He emphasized that ayahuasca is illegal in the US but can be used legally within certain religious contexts. Boyle debunked the notion that one must travel far to experience ayahuasca, noting that ceremonies are conducted within the US, often accompanied by music and facilitated by visiting shamans from Peru.
Boyle shared personal experiences with ayahuasca, including his initial skepticism, extensive research, and eventual participation in ceremonies. He recounted various encounters with the medicine, such as experiencing physical and emotional purges, encountering spiritual entities like Mother Ayahuasca, and witnessing profound healings in others. In addition, Boyle highlighted the diverse ways ayahuasca can facilitate healing, from physical ailments to deep-seated emotional traumas.

Stories of a mysterious network of vast caverns, brimming with weapons, statues, seeds, and other ancient Egyptian treasures, have been reported at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Sharon Day, paranormal investigator, author, and popular blogger of "Ghost Hunting Theories" and "Groovy New Life," talked about the Grand Canyon Mummy site.
Day recounted an intriguing historical account from the 1909 Phoenix Gazette which reported on the discoveries made by an explorer named G. Kincaid, who claimed to have stumbled upon a cave filled with mummies and artifacts while traversing the Colorado River. Drawing parallels with similar findings in Baja, Mexico, and Nevada, Day presented evidence supporting the authenticity of Kincaid's account. She discussed the significance of native legends and archaeological evidence in corroborating historical narratives, noting the importance of considering indigenous perspectives and oral traditions in understanding ancient cultures and events.
Day also delved into psychometry, recounting experiences from a young age when she could intuit details about objects and the people associated with them. Growing up in a Civil War hospital turned home, she found herself drawn to artifacts and possessed a unique ability to sense the histories and energies surrounding them. This innate skill in psychometry led her to develop a deep understanding of human behavior and perspective. Day emphasized the value of storytelling and understanding the narratives behind every person and object encountered to promote empathy and understanding.
