What happens when you remove almost everything we normally depend on, food, water, phones, entertainment and even our sense of time?
In Part 2 of my conversation with Daniel Hannah, we move beyond ayahuasca itself and into one of the more extreme experiences on his journey: a four-day, four-night vision quest in Peru’s Sacred Valley.
Daniel describes entering isolation at roughly 3,500 metres, with no food or water, and what happened physically and mentally as the days progressed. We talk about discomfort versus suffering, the moment he began wondering when they were coming to get him, and what something as simple as a glass of water meant after days without it.
But our conversation also raises a bigger question: what does voluntarily choosing hardship mean when millions of people around the world don’t have the choice?
Daniel reflects on privilege, gratitude, compassion and why the experience changed the way he thinks about some of the most basic things we take for granted.
Note: This episode describes extreme fasting and dehydration as part of Daniel’s personal experience. It is not presented as medical advice or a recommendation to attempt these practices.
