In today's episode you’ll hear an amazing chat and also really moving story of Allen Banick. In episode 31 you’ve already heard me talk to Allen’s wife Marta about her unique hero’s journey and how she was able to overcome her personal trauma of childhood abuse and a year-long cocaine addiction with the help of plant medicines. Now in this conversation we talk about Allen’s early adult life, where he was living in NYC as a bartender, severely depressed and unable to hold down a job or a relationship for more than a few years. Ultimately looking for more meaning in his own life, he left everything behind at the age of 33 to go on pilgrimage to Spain to find himself. It was while working with ayahuasca for the first time that he was able to realise that he was essentially living his adult life through the lens of the impact of his childhood trauma, namely the sudden death of his mother when he was 4 years old. We talk about the lessons that plant medicine and inner work taught him to better understand and gradually process and integrate the true history and defence mechanisms of his trauma. Further topics we touch upon are how our ego stories and identifications with feelings and thoughts, and defence mechanisms like dissociation as a result of extreme PTSD can keep us trapped in the past. How to properly work and deal with intense emotions. Practical Tools for integration work and Allen’s most moving ayahuasca &amp; Iboga story You will learn how Allen's original search for answers on the outside in 2013 ultimately became a deeply introspective journey to find himself and learn to accept his past with all of his different aspects of himself.

Episode 182:  Allen Banick: Learning How to Die While Living/Bwiti Initiation of Iboga/Iboga/Beyond Words

Hey everybody! Episode 13 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Allen. Allen and I have worked together for a number of years at the Amazonian plant medicine center The Temple of the Way of Light. Allen has worked there as a facilitator, essentially a bridge between the guests who come down and the indigenous doctors who work there. He has a wealth of experience in that field and has worked with a number of master plant medicines and really has a deep grasp on what this work is and how to express it in different ways. Allen and I have had many conversations over the years and it’s always a pleasure to sit down and speak with him. He has a lot to share and teach and I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode. Cheers!“Allen is a plant medicine facilitator and space holder. He is the co-host of the Beyond Words with Felix and Allen podcast, available on iTunes and Spotify. He spent the past 6 years in Peru learning from various plant medicine traditions and facilitating retreats at the Temple of the Way of Light healing retreat center in the Amazon. He is fascinated by plant medicine traditions and initiation rituals. He also loves baseball. In his previous lives, amongst other things, Allen studied acting in New York City, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon, and he was a bus driver in Colorado.
