Today we are sitting down with Gerard Powell, the owner of Rythmia Life Advancement Center, a healing center in Costa Rica. In March we were able to spend time at Rythmia and had a plant medicine experience ourselves, and are so grateful for Gerard’s team helping us feel safe and supported. In this episode, Gerard shares his journey before welcoming in plant medicine, and how he now lives his life after experiencing the healing properties of ayahuasca. Gerard also talks about creating his healing center, and how he’s been able to help facilitate so many beginnings of others’ healing journeys as well.   We also talk about: The struggles Gerard faced early on in his life How he feels about his past self The surgeries that occur within a plant medicine ceremony Being true and authentic to yourself How to know when you’re ready to experience plant medicine   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: gerardarmondpowell.com ; rythmia.com Instagram: @rythmia_ ; @gerardarmondpowell   Upcoming Events: May 7th: London with Peta Kelly May 9th: London with Jenna Zoe May 30th: Denver with Natalie Miles June 20th: Los Angeles with Bree Melanson   Sponsors: Baked by Melissa | www.bakedbymelissa.com use code ALMOST30 for 15% OFF.
