Psychedelic DivasAuthor: Carla Detchon
Welcome to Psychedelic Divas, where we explore the power and the pitfalls of the emerging world of psychedelics through the wisdom of the divine feminine. As the psychedelic underground pushes upward into our mainstream awareness and the legal above ground, Psychedelic Divas is here to serve as a guide for those who might be interested in exploring whether these medicines are right for them. Let's be clear, these medicines are definitely not for everyone, and we are not promoting their use. What we are providing is education and a deeper understanding of what's possibleboth the good and the challengingwhen it comes to choosing whether or not to explore these powerful molecules. Your host, Carla Detchon, has been exploring psychedelic realms for 40 years both recreationally and ceremonially. Through her work as an Integration Coach, she helps people find a deeper understanding of the messages of these experiences, so they can move into wholeness and motivated action. Our intention with this podcast is to provide a safe haven, a sanctuary for open-hearted individuals seeking personal growth, spiritual expansion, and a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. Thanks for listening--We look forward to growing together.

33. Ayahuasca: Indigenous Roots to Modern Use
Sunday, 29 March, 2026
Join us as we take a deep dive into the world of ayahuasca: a sacred plant medicine that has shaped spiritual paths for centuries and is now becoming increasingly visible in modern culture. Episode 33 of Psychedelic Divas features Celina De Leon, founder of Circle of Sacred Nature Church and co-director of Posada Natura Retreat Center in Costa Rica, who brings over 25 years of experience working with ayahuasca. We touch on the medicine's indigenous roots, the importance of lineage and training, and the deeply relational nature of working with both plant and human teachers, with a special focus on the feminine, motherhood, and what it means to walk in right relationship with this powerful medicine. In This Episode You'll Learn: What ayahuasca is and why it's more than just a psychedelic—it's a sacred plant alliance. The two plants that make up the brew and how their synergy creates the experience. The mystery of how indigenous communities discovered this powerful combination. Celina's personal journey from academic curiosity to deep apprenticeship. Why container and lineage matter. Who you sit with is just as important as the medicine itself. Key differences between Peruvian and Colombian traditions, including ceremony styles and energetics. The role of song, sound, and ritual in guiding the ayahuasca experience. Celina's path to founding a church and what it means to practice ayahuasca as a spiritual sacrament in the U.S. How Celina talks to her children about this work and integrates it into family life. The connection between ayahuasca and the feminine, including honoring cycles and intuition. How ayahuasca can support healing around eating disorders, addiction, and deeply rooted behavioral patterns. Why the ceremony is only the beginning. How you live your life after ceremony is where the real transformation happens. If this episode resonated, please share it with someone who might benefit from this conversation.
