I wanted to thank you (from the bottom of my heart) for granting me an opportunity to participate in Saturday's ceremony.

It was the single most profound experience of my life. I am still in awe of the magic I got to witness (in others and myself).

During breathwork, I was able to achieve some sort of breakthrough. By the end of it, I had written in my notes, "I feel like I've taken a microdose" (even though I had not).

The trip, of course, was even more extraordinary. I immediately delved into the "mother wound." I pictured my mom as a child putting an arm around her younger sister - trying to shield her from the horrors of the Khmer Rouge (in Cambodia, 1970's). My mom is the type of person who never shows her vulnerabilities. Growing up, I always found it difficult to relate to her. Emotionally-speaking, it felt like I didn't even have a mom.

Up until Saturday, I thought I had done all I could to get my relationship with my mom to an amicable place... but the medicine revealed a missing link. The medicine showed me something that my mom herself would never reveal. The visions I saw humanized her. As such, I was able to develop deep compassion for her.

I won't get into everything I saw on the trip (not in this email at least!). But there was another moment at the end that struck me as "magical." Just before leaving, Lana came to me again and hugged me tightly. In that moment, I recognized her to be an angel. I had an epiphany that *yes*, angels are real. Angels are real and they walk among us.

I don't know what else to say other than "I believe now." Even though I still don't fully understand the divine / the realm of higher consciousness /whatever you call it... I believe it is real. I believe you are its messengers and the work you do is truly invaluable.
