    <description>Enter a conversation about ayahuasca, Indigenous wisdom, and our relationship with the living world.

The Curandera Podcast features Tatiana Aya Tupinambá, an Indigenous Brazilian curandera and teacher, in conversation with Charles Johnston. Drawing from her own journey and years of learning, Tatiana shares reflections on becoming a curandera, learning from the plants, and bringing those teachings into everyday life.

These conversations invite deeper listening, personal responsibility, and discernment. They explore the care required when approaching ayahuasca, the importance of preparation and integration, and so much more. Not hiding from the challenges arising in the culture but standing as a lighthouse for honesty and accountability.

For those beginning to ask questions and those continuing their own path, this is a space to listen, reflect, and reconnect.
