Basilio

Conscious Conversations with Jenny LePage

Basilio Payaguaje, elder and yaje drinker of the Seiko pāai tribe in the Amazon Basin of Ecuador, shares his heart with us in a rarely allowed recorded interview. Sitting around him, our visiting group alongside members of his family and community participate in the oral tradition of a question and answer session, adapted to an interview style for this podcast. His message is both extremely sensitive and important at the same time—which is why we bring it you through an immense amount of work to make it possible. I invite you to listen deeply to his voice itself—a song of the earth and the cosmos—and his words offer a pathway of hope and healing for ourselves and our Planet Earth.
