Rebekah Shaman on the healing politics of unity consciousness

How can the intimacies of human relationships with the more-than-human help inform and reshape environmental and development policy at the global scale? What power does awakening a collective ecological consciousness have in remediating our moral and political systems which have grossly failed in building and sustaining unity and integrity in wider community? Today we are joined by Rebekah Shaman, a plant medicine shaman inspiring conscious change in the urban jungle by bringing nature and humanity back into balance through working intimately with the Master Plant medicines Ayahuasca, Cacao and Cannabis over the past 25 years. Through her work, Rebekah has inspired and urban dwellers to live shamanically by reconnecting to the rhythms of life through the Master Plant ceremonies she offers under the guidance of indigenous shamans in the Amazon. Rebekah is the managing director of the British Hemp Alliance which promotes hemp as an environmental tool to reaching Net Zero, and she also CEO of Ritual Cacao, one of the largest suppliers of ceremonial grade cacao in the UK. In this episode, Rebekah guides us through the wonderfully complex and deeply inspiring stories of the Peruvian Amazon, and how the teachings of the rainforest enriched her journey as a plant medicine shaman working for radical system change in the urban jungle. Challenging the divide between bottom-up and top-down approaches to addressing our ecological crises, Rebekah particularly emphasises on the need for consciousness shifts at the individual and community level to feed and stabilise decision-making at the macro-level, which requires the integration of indigenous, local and more-than-human knowledges into policy which have been successful in preserving cultures of care and stewardship.
