Traditional Medicine Podcast with Caara Lovick

Our last episode discussed how worker-owned or community-owned cooperative business structures harmonize with Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero traditions. Democratic workplaces safeguard communities, ensure no abuse takes place, and helps distribute wealth more evenly. Although projects can take on a more conventional business model until the project is successful, anyone working with these traditions should prepare for the day...

This episode discusses how worker-owned or community-owned businesses are the best structures for projects working with these indigenous healers and their communities. These businesses bring democracy into the workplace and harmonize with these healing traditions. The idea of capitalism is not native to the Americas. Although we live in a capitalist society, we must preserve these traditions by honoring them and creating businesses...

In today's episode, we continue discussing power and what power is for wisdom keepers in the Andes and the Amazon. And it's not just the way wisdom keepers of the Andes or the Amazon view power; it is multiple religions and spiritual disciplines saying the same thing. Why? Because they are tapping into the same truth. Today we talk about how Amazonian healers and Q'ero healers walk the path to power and follow the sa...

For indigenous healers in both the Amazon and High Andes, power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen. To build and access power, healers must undergo a challenging, energetic, and spiritual refinement process that helps them bring powerful medicine into this world. In this episode, we discuss what power means in these traditions and how they compare to other traditions and religions that outline the path to power ...

This episode discusses the genius of Q'ero's wisdom and healing tradition. The Q'ero Healing Tradition has simplified complex energetic and spiritual concepts to the bare minimum. It has established ways to bring their entire community effortlessly to higher levels of consciousness alongside mother earth and the sacred mountains. We cover how they see beyond the images and the symbols provided by our minds to transla...

In today's episode, we review how our minds interpret energy. First, we cover how our world is both physical and spiritual. We, as humans, are both physical and spiritual as well. Humans capture information regarding their physical environment through the senses and energetic/spiritual information regarding their environment through inborn intuitions. The mind then translates this spiritual and energetic world into dreams, sym...

This discipline is best known for its work with sacred plants like Ayahuasca and even the sacred frog known as Kambo. Today we'll cover the three critical ingredients which made this Amazonian traditional indigenous discipline possible, along with the High Andean Q'ero healing tradition. We'll also talk a little about how ...

In this episode, we compare Carl Jung's work and the disciplines pioneered by Traditional Indigenous Healers in their efforts to work and understand the "unconscious," or what indigenous healers call the energetic and spiritual aspect of reality. We discuss that the main difference between these disciplines lies in their roots. On the one hand, Carl Jung's methods depend on the conscious side of life or the phys...

In today's episode, we build the foundation to understand what Ayahuasca is. We review the basics, sneak in some neuroscience from Dr. Jordi Riba and his team in Barcelona, and review the framework these Traditional Indigenous Medicines live within, including Ayahuasca, to avoid unnecessary learning curves that can slow up progress. This is part 1 of our "What is Ayahuasca?" mini-series.
