Our guest today was introduced to me by a good friend of the podcast, Ryan Sprague, and when he sends someone my way I know it will be a good conversation.
Back in 2004 our guest became the first Westerner to be recognized as a Maestro Medico Vegetalista or Amazonian Plant Medicine Expert. Since receiving this title of distinction he has guided over 3,000 plant medicine ceremonies and has assisted over 15,000 individuals on their healing journeys.
To say he is well versed in the realm of plant medicine is an understatement. He is also a coach, author, teacher and artist. He has been featured by Time Magazine, National Geographic, The New York Times and The Aubrey Marcus Podcast.
He is here to take us on a deep dive into plant medicines and the indigenous wisdom teachings of the Amazonian Jungle.
It is a pleasure to introduce you to Hamilton Souther.

Hello everyone, my name is Adam Carbary and I want to thank you for tuning into another episode of the Embrace and Expand Podcast.

On this episode we welcome back a guest from earlier in the season who is a wealth of knowledge in astrology, breathwork, personal training and how to regulate your nervous system.
As we both having been going through very similar energies in our lives we decided to treat this podcast as a conversation between two friends instead of a traditional interview.
We touch on a plethora of topics from the current state of our world, what we can do to improve our lives and how the simple things are the greatest gifts in life.
I hope you enjoy this phenomenal conversation with Hali Bailey.

My next guest is a bodyworker who is dedicated to helping people feel comfortable and at home in their body.
Formerly a research scientist with a background in physiology and neuroscience, he brings extensive practical knowledge and experience along with infinite curiosity and reverence for the complexity of the body to his practice.
He is passionately dedicated to honoring both the suffering and wisdom held in the body, mind and spirit of each individual. His practice is driven by an unwavering confidence in the intrinsic healing capacity within every person.
I am excited to dive deeper into the topic of somatics with my next guest, and cousin, Collin Sedlacek.

*This is an encore presentation of this episode that aired back in April of 2023*
Today we welcome to the podcast our very first guest of season 2. I came across this beautiful soul during a week long Breathwork Summit back in January of 2023. After taking pages of notes from his hour long workshop I knew I needed to get him onto the podcast to share with all of you his wondrous teachings.

He spent several years living and studying in a Hindu monastery which introduced him to the core body of Tantric traditions which continue to flow through each of his teachings. Apprenticeships in leadership development, meditation and philosophy training, spiritual awakening and Vedic rituals were all part of his development into the thought-leader that he is today.

His teachings, through a mixture of Dharma talks, Meditations and Breathwork Practices, guide seekers to explore their deepest selves leading them to live their lives free from tension and full of trust. Through his hugely popular Wanderlust Festival workshops, Unplug teachings and online trainings, He has been catalyzing the inner evolution of others for decades: helping them to grow, transform obstacles into opportunities, and find Love within.

It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Scott Schwenk.
