002: Carlos Duran | How to Work and Evolve With Sacred Plant Medicines
“No matter where you’re at - embrace it. It’s not about where you’re at, it’s about where you want to go, and what you’re willing to do to get there. We are never alone. The creator will never abandon its creation. The creator to me is masculine energy, it’s a feminine energy, and it is a mystery. It is the unknown. But it is always with us. It has always been with us. And it will always be with us.”
