In this episode of MUM, host Ellen Wong invites Mariah Gannessa, founder of Four Visions, to speak about the Warrior Spirit, experiencing spiritual death through medicine ceremonies, and living life in totality in all of its flavors and colors. They exchange stories of their relationships with plant medicine, and discuss how sacred plant allies can support grief.

About Guest: Mariah Gannessa was born and raised in Northern California and now resides in Cundinamarca, Colombia. She has spent the last decade immersed in the healing cultures of the Amazon and has dedicated her life’s work to the plants and indigenous peoples of the rainforest. Inspired by her many years of apprenticeship deep in study and service with the Inga tribe of Putumayo and working intimately with them to preserve and share their traditions, Mariah founded Four Visions, a platform dedicated to the amplification of indigenous cultures and integrating ancient plant medicine into the modern world. Mariah is also the President of Magic Fund Amazon, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Amazonian lands, peoples, and their cultures.

Four Visions just launched a very special collection of rare, Amazonian plants, roots, barks, flowers, and seeds. Our prayer is that our offerings provide our community with the tools, resources, and access to support your deepened connection with Nature and all of Creation.

You can explore the Rainforest Herbal Apothecary and let the plants speak to you by visiting our website.
