METHODOLOGIES, CONCEPTS, & PEOPLE MENTIONED

• Ayahuasca - Ayahuasca is a psychoactive brew from South America, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures for spiritual and healing purposes in shamanic rituals. The practice involves ceremonies often led by a shaman, curandero/curandera, or facilitator, where participants consume the brew to experience altered states of consciousness. Experiences of Ayahuasca vary greatly, but most participants agree it opens the door to profound personal healing and transformation, and/or spiritual connection and understanding that they have never known before.

• Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual (Retreat center in Peru where Kevin first experienced Ayahuasca)  https://nihuerao.com/

• SOULS (Sanctuary of Universal Love & Service) - the Ayahuasca church in Seattle, Washington that Kevin co-founded. https://www.souls.church/

• Shipibo - The Shipibo-Conibo are an indigenous people primarily originating and living in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Formerly two groups, they eventually became one tribe through intermarriage and communal rituals and are currently known as the Shipibo-Conibo people. The Shipibo-Conibo have lived in the Amazonian rainforest for millennia. Many of their traditions are still practiced, such as Ayahuasca spiritual-medicine work. Ayahuasca medicine songs ("icaros") have inspired artistic tradition and decorative designs found in their clothing, pottery, tools, and textiles. Some of the urbanized people live around Pucallpa in the Ucayali region, an extensive indigenous zone. Most others live in scattered villages over a large area of jungle forest extending from Brazil to Ecuador. 

• Terence McKenna - Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American philosopher, ethnobotanist, lecturer, and author who advocated for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants and mushrooms. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including psychedelic substances, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, alchemy, language, philosophy, culture, technology, ethnomycology, environmentalism, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness.

METHODOLOGIES, CONCEPTS, & PEOPLE MENTIONED

• The Flower of Life - The Flower of Life is an ancient symbol in sacred geometry that represents the cycle of creation and the interconnectedness of all things. It is considered a blueprint for life, containing the fundamental patterns of the universe from which everything is believed to emerge. The symbol has been found in cultures around the world and is used in art, architecture, and spiritual practices. Many use the symbol in meditation as a focal point for spiritual awakening, connecting with higher consciousness, or seeking enlightenment. It is often used as a talisman for protection and to promote a sense of gentleness, harmony, and positive energy. It can also represent the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. 

• Polarity Therapy - Polarity therapy is a holistic, alternative medicine practice that aims to balance and harmonize the body's energy flow. It is based on the belief that the body is an interconnected system of energy, and that imbalances in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, and mental health problems. 

 • Vesica Institute / Dr. Robert Gilbert - Vesica's mission is to collect the highest level of essential knowledge and practices from the world’s great spiritual traditions — and from modern holistic science researchers — to illuminate little-known solutions to the world's most serious spiritual, health, and environmental challenges. https://www.vesica.org

• BioGeometry - BioGeometry is an applied science that uses the energy principles of geometric shapes, forms, colors, and sounds to qualitatively balance energy fields in living systems and their environments. Founded by Egyptian architect and scientist Dr. Ibrahim Karim, it is not a form of medical treatment but an environmental support system designed to harmonize interactions between biological fields and their surroundings. https://www.biogeometry.ca

• Golden Mean Spiral - The golden spiral is a logarithmic spiral that grows by a factor of the golden ratio (approximately 1.618) for every quarter turn. It is constructed from a series of squares whose sides are based on the Fibonacci sequence, connecting the opposite corners of the squares with quarter-circle arcs. The spiral is seen in the patterns of many natural forms, such as the arrangement of seeds in a sunflower, the chambers of a nautilus shell, and the arms of spiral galaxies.  The shape is infinitely repeated when magnified.

• Dodecahedron - a three-dimensional shape having twelve plane faces, in particular a regular solid figure with twelve equal pentagonal faces. A dodecagon's spiritual meaning is associated with completion, cosmic harmony, and spiritual connection due to its twelve pentagonal faces. In sacred geometry, it is considered a symbol of the universe, divinity, and a framework for spiritual energy, representing the quintessence or "spirit" as one of the five Platonic solids. It is also used in spiritual practices to aid in personal growth and manifestation. 

• Sacred Geometry - Sacred geometry recognizes that certain geometric shapes and patterns hold spiritual and symbolic meaning, representing the underlying order of the universe. It is the study of geometric forms and concepts, viewed as a way to understand the universe's fundamental patterns, which are believed to appear in nature, art, architecture, and spiritual traditions. Examples include the circle, triangle, and the Flower of Life, which are seen as fundamental blueprints for creation.
