There’s something about this past weekend that just clicked.
Friday the 13th. My 3rd ceremony with .

Angel number 333.
My birthday? Yep — three 3s.
A triple portal if I’ve ever felt one 🌀

This marked my 10th Ayahuasca ceremony, which honestly blows my mind. Not because the number matters (I promise I’m not collecting ceremonies like Pokémon), but because I can feel how much has changed since that first sit. The layers I’ve shed. The truths I’ve owned. The ways I’ve softened into who I really am.

This weekend also sealed in a plant dieta I’ve been walking since returning from Peru, but more strictly the week prior working with holy basil, cinnamon, and bobinsana — and it truly felt like a chapter closed, and a new one opened.

I found myself singing.. A LOT. It was karaoke up in that camp. Not once, but twice, solo! Singing hasn’t been a part of my life formally, but working with Bobinsana — the little siren herself — it makes sense. She’s known to open the heart and clear the throat, and it felt like my voice finally came home to me.

Integration isn’t a finish line. It’s how we live. And right now, I just feel more me than ever.

Last month, I spent almost two weeks at in the Peruvian Amazon for what I thought was going to be a study of Ayahuasca and Shipibo culture. What I got was so much more and beyond. 💚

The best way I can describe how I feel about what I learned is: “The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know.” And this trip has definitely ignited, even more, my pursuit for knowledge, spirituality and self-discovery.

Most people have asked me what was the biggest “aha” thing I learned, and I think they were expecting me to say some wild, brain blasting realizations. 😆 But at the root of everything…. my biggest “aha” was more about truly realizing the direct relationship of joyful peace and living a more simple life. It sounds so anticlimactic, I know, yet I’ve found it is so deeply what I, and frankly we all, are missing.

I wanted (and honestly needed) to wait to post this until I gave myself enough time into my integration process. And to type up all 45 pages of notes. 😂 📝

While I haven’t been super active on socials, I do plan to share more eventually, but for now, I write this as I finish up another mini dieta (plant study) this week at home and head into ceremony with Mother Aya again this weekend in here Austin. 🫶🏻

For now, a few shares from my time in the jungle [I dropped them into the comments!].

🫶🏻 This trip gave me so much more than just a trip to the Amazon to work with Ayahuasca. It gave me a new perspective on the kind of life I really want and how I want to show up in the world.

One thing I do know for sure is that I need to know more. I thought my medicine and shamanic journey started two years ago when I first met Mother Ayahuasca, but I know now that I don’t know s**t. 😂

My next chapter has begun and I know that I will be in deep study moving forward to live slower, simpler while also learning more, and be able to share more of my own unique medicine and love with the world.

Cheers to making the world a better, more intentional place. It all starts within. Gracias and aho. 🪶

↓ Let’s talk about habits… I haven’t posted in a while and woah, what a gift that’s been to step back from the pressure of socials.

Moving to a new state, prepping for the jungle, deep in corporate work mode — I had to let a few things go. And I thought that meant I was falling behind… but what it really did was show me what I actually want to bring with me.

Like my little rituals that I’ve been able to hold onto:
+ Pulling a card from my animal oracle deck (thank you , this deck is everything)
+ Sitting with hapé, letting the stillness settle in.
+ Writing, even if just a few lines in my journal with my dinosaur pen because — inner child joy is sacred too. 🦖✨

These things aren’t less than.
They’re the thread. 🪡

You don’t have to do it all.
You just have to keep doing what brings you back to yourself.

If you’ve been busy, burnt out, or feeling like your spiritual life needs a reboot — here are a few micro rituals that could help you stay grounded lately:
+ Pull 1 tarot or oracle card and don’t overanalyze it 🎴
+ Set a timer for 3 minutes and just breathe (no music, no apps) ⏳
+ Write down what your inner child would say about your day ✍🏼

It all counts.
You still count.
Even when life is a little messy. Especially then.

↓ Hi, I’m Chey—the face behind Wise Awakenings! 🌿✨ If you’re new here, I want to share a bit more about me.

I started this page as a space to document and share my healing journey, but over time, it’s evolving into a community focused on plant medicines, because frankly that’s where my heart and soul truly are. 💜

My journey began with a long overdue calling to Ayahuasca, and it’s completely transformed my life. But through this path, I’ve realized that plant medicine is more than just profound experiences—it’s a way to reconnect with nature and our true selves. The biggest gift of all.

It’s been a long journey of facing hard truths, unlearning societal conditioning, and facing fear of the unknown head on.

Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you. Whether you’re just starting out on your self-discovery journey or curious about how to add plant medicines into your story, I’m here to help bridge the gap and guide you back to your roots.

If you’re interested in exploring plant technology and awakening your true self, let’s connect!

And for kicks and giggles here are some fun facts about my plant medicine journey:

+ I started with Ayahuasca is my master plant teacher, but I am building a really beautiful relationship with Sage and Changa.
+ The most profound lesson? We are part of a greater cosmic connection that is so beautiful and amazing it’s almost too much to comprehend.
+ Not every plant medicine is for everyone, and that’s okay—trust your instincts.

Weekend vibes: Remembering our roots 🌍✨ We are part of a cosmic collective, a web of life that connects us all to our ancestors and Pachamama—the all-healing, all-knowing mother of us all.

In our modern world, we often forget this deep connection, but it’s still there, pulsing through our roots, waiting for us to awaken to our innate wisdom!

And if you ever need a reminder that we are truly part of nature’s intricate design, just think of this:

Humans and bananas share ~60% of genetic material. Meaning, a significant portion of the basic building blocks of life, like genes, are super similar to the same banana you ate this morning. 🍌🤯

Hit me with a 🍌 in the comments if this resonated with you.

Happy weekend, friends! xoxo
