Nasanin says, "This past weekend was my first experience with plant medicine and although it’s been a few days, I am still floating in the waves of Yagè! I was, like many others, worried about what my initial contact with plant medicine would be like! Would I even be able to make it through the experience?! As soon as I arrived at the beautiful and serene location in the countryside the Vision Mira team took such good care of me and were ready to answer all my questions." See more
