From Manifesting Wine in Tuscany to Ayahuasca in the Amazon - My Wild Spiritual Detour

In this episode, I share the unexpected story of how I manifested a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru—a journey I didn’t plan, but one that feels deeply aligned with where my soul is meant to go. I originally thought I’d be spending my summer in Italy, enjoying the European sunshine. But the universe had other plans. Instead, I was invited to a 6-day Ayahuasca retreat deep in the Amazon jungle, guided by shamans at the Arkana Spiritual Centre. A complete shift from what I envisioned, yet everything in me knows this is exactly where I need to be. In this episode, I explore: How a planned European holiday unexpectedly turned into a spiritual retreat in Peru The intuitive nudges and synchronicities that guided me to say yes What it means to surrender when life reroutes your path Why discomfort often signals expansion and transformation How I’m preparing emotionally, mentally, and spiritually for this plant medicine journey This is a conversation about trusting timing, listening to intuition, and allowing life to unfold in ways that may not make sense at first—but ultimately lead to deeper healing and clarity. My journey begins at the end of July, and I’ll be sharing more reflections from the Amazon as they unfold. ENJOY THE RIDE!
