Jessica Rochester is an incredible font of wisdom, insight, and knowledge on many aspects of healing and spiritual awakening. Her bona fides are impeccable. She is an ordained Inter-Faith Minister with a Doctorate in Divinity. She trained with the legendary Stanislav Grof and among her numerous responsibilities is the director and primary ceremony leader of Céu do Montréal, the ayahuasca-using Santo Daime church she founded in 1997. Dr. Rochester has written an all-but-exhaustive two-volume book that gathers her long decades of experience into a highly accessible and practical guidebook on just about everything anyone needs to know and consider on healing pathways.

The book's title is: Ayahuasca Awakening: A Guide to Self-Discovery, Self-Mastery, and Self-Care. As implied by the subtitle and my comments above, the contents of the book extend far beyond discussions around ayahuasca. "Ayahuasca Awakening" actually refers mainly to the source of much of Dr. Rochesters's inspiration and understanding. She also has a delightfully positive and warm presence in this hour-long interview.

Note: This interview is one of over two dozen with leading influencers in fields related to psychedelics and consciousness transformation. All of the interviews can be viewed on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel.

And: Please consider subscribing to the YouTube channel. I'm far too old to care about career development fame and fortune 🙂. This is about sharing important and perhaps essential information and inspiration as the planet gets pulled ever more strongly into an extremely challenging period of transition. More subscribers means the channel is easier to find in searches.

Another "And": For similar reasons and to be informed of new interviews, please consider subscribing to my newsletter. I use it sparingly and mostly to let people know about a new interview. Until I learn a simpler method, I believe you'll have to email me and ask to be signed up. stephengraymedicine@gmail.com.
