We’re not jungle people. Yes, there was a time when I cultivated fantasies of building a tree house in an extremely isolated place like a rainforest, that was before I’d actually been to a rainforest. Now, having racked up at several months of my life in various jungles in different parts of the world, I know better than to think that I could live with the ants, the mosquitos, and the general sense of chaos ...
The intracity buses in Guanajuato, Mexico are similar to intracity buses in other parts of the world. I almost always enjoy riding the buses more than driving around in a car because I see things that I'd otherwise miss like this baby puppy being bottle fed by an adorable little boy.Related Posts:Jace Walks to the Bus Stop in Marfil, Near Guanajuato, MexicoJace Crosses the Street to the Bus Stop ...
The bus stop is across the street, an important fact since the buses going the other way would take Jace out of the city instead of down to Guanajuato centro. Over the few days since he got here, Jace has already figured out some essentials about getting around using public transportation. Buses in Guanajuato go all over the city, but most of them end up in the centro at some point. Learning which buses go ...
In this video, Jace walks toward the bus stop near our house in Marfil, a small community near Guanajuato. He has to take the public buses downtown to his Spanish classes each day for the first 3 weeks of his stay. It sound easy enough except that Guanajuato's streets aren't laid out in a grid system. There are extensive tunnel networks across the city and the surface streets are laid out like a pile of ...

Yesterday, John and I went to the temazcal here in Guanajuato, Mexico. Each time we go to the temazcal, the experience is new and different. As Karolina cleanses our auras with smoke outside of the tiny “sweat lodge”, and I turn, arms out-stretched crucifix-style my ego is always on full-blast and my confidence unshaken. Then, I duck into the tent and take a seat and start smearing the “yuck” all over my ...
In this video, Jennifer talks about what it was like to smoke Sapito and it's after-effects over the five days since she did it. Sapito is a medicinal entheogen, or sacred medicine that's used to treat a variety of health issues from mental illness to the treatment of cancer. It can reduce inflammation in the body, diminish or cure depression as well as fight disease by enhancing the immune system. Smoking ...
We’ve traveled for years. When John and I first met, we traveled with a band (he worked as a professional musician at that time). Then, a few years after Lydian was born, we sold almost everything and packed up what was left to travel full-time in an RV. We stayed in the United States for our travels when we were young. But when Lydian turned 10, we started traveling overseas. With each year that passed, we ...
I sit down to write, because this is what I do…I write. But right now, and for the past 9 months, nothing happens. I have nothing to say to my Self. The voice that writes is silent and scared. It waits.
What is it waiting for?
My hands are poised above the keys.
I’m ready.
A voice says,”not until you get back…”

Lydian's Sapito session was really dramatic. She thrashed around and screamed, but she doesn't remember very much of it. But there's not denying it, she's been happier in the days following Sapito. In this video, she talks about the experience of taking the sapo medicine, what she remembers of the experience, and how it's affected her in the five days following the ceremonia de medicina in Guanajuato, ...
Five days after the Sapito Session in Guanajuato, John talks about his experience and how it's impacted his thinking and habits. He talks about what he was feeling during the Sapito experience and then its after-effects. For him, the sapo medicine lasted only about 10 minutes. For Lydian, it lasted closer to 20 minutes. For me it lasted almost 45 minutes. The Sapo Frog Medicine affects everyone very ...
We really didn’t know anything about sapito before we arrived at Karolina’s on the Saturday following the summer solstice. I’d never heard of it before and though I did a little research, I wanted to be careful about doing too much research because there’s a lot of bullshit and fear-mongering online. Americans are taught to believe that all entheogens and psychedelics are bad and there’s a lot of ...
I did drugs in college; LSD, pot, and shrooms. I mostly was fascinated with the idea of LSD and mushrooms. I never had any desire to try cocaine or heroin. My interest in drugs at that time was all about the mind. I wasn’t all that interested in uppers or downers. I wanted to explore the outer reaches of my own mind.

I'd never heard of Sapito before the local curandera here in Mexico approached us to try it during the Summer Solstice. Sapito or the Sapo Frog Medicine, is an excretion by the Bufo Alvarius frog found in the Sonoran deserts of Mexico. The excretion contains 5 -meo-DMT, which makes it a powerful entheogen. Sapito, when smoked, produces an effect that lasts from 20-30 minutes (or longer in my case--the ...
The Bufo Alvarius Frog, found in the Sonoran Deserts of Mexico, excretes a substance that contains 5-meo-DMT. This substance can be applied to the skin using Kambo sticks or by heating it up and then smoking it. A curandera that we know in Mexico approached us on a Thursday evening to tell us about the Sapito Ceremony (Sapito Ceremonía de Medicina) that took place just after the Summer Solstice on a ...
"How do people heal themselves?" This is my biggest question...the question I ask over and over again in every country we visit, in every place we live. Life itself is a process of healing in some cases. In others, it's a process of accumulating baggage and burdens that we carry as long as we can, until someone shows us how to let go. I believe that many illnesses aren't physical. They aren't mental. ...
Road Trip to Mexico, Central America, and South America: What to Take with You, What to Leave Behind
As an American, we’ve been socialized to believe that we need a lot more stuff than we really do (for travel and for life). It’s part of our culture to place faith in our things to get us through tough situations, but as a general rule, it’s best to travel light. The value of being mobile and carrying very little rates high for us when we’re traveling. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a cool gadget ...

The Hoxsey Clinic (aka Bio Medical Center) in Tijuana, Mexico has been successfully treating cancer for years. The Harry Hoxsey Formula is affordable and it works. Patients need not undergo chemo in order for it to be successful. Canadians, Europeans, and Americans flock to this place for treatment because it represents a viable cancer cure that's simple and effective and much healthier for the body and ...
