Broken, But Still Wild: On Sacred Vine, Prayer, and Reciprocity with Teresa Padilla

Teresa Padilla is a plant medicine practitioner and founder of Medicine of Many Tribes, trained under an Amazonian teacher, Yawa Bane, in the sacred vine and hapé traditions of the Huni Kuin people of Acre, Brazil.

In this episode, Teresa shares how a car crash, a business collapse, and a month spent bedridden with an MS flare-up led her to ceremony, and how she's navigated reciprocity, cultural appropriation, and what it means to be an invited guest in indigenous medicine traditions ever since.
