A Story of an Entrepreneur Who Found His Way Back
Sometimes, you don’t need another book or program to understand what matters.
Sometimes, all it takes is one experience — the kind that doesn’t just change your mind, but brings you back to life.
This is a real story. No mysticism. No heroism. Just one of our Bootcamp participants — a 42-year-old entrepreneur with two businesses, two kids, a house in California. From the outside, everything looked perfect. But inside, he was quietly falling apart.
“I couldn’t feel anything. No pain. No joy. Just emptiness. And exhaustion. Even from success.”
He went on a retreat.
Not for the experience.
But because it had become unbearable not to.
When feelings return
Ayahuasca isn’t a miracle. It doesn’t give answers.
It shows you what you’ve been avoiding.
Where you’ve gone numb.
Where you stopped living.
“During the second ceremony, I just cried. Not from pain — but from remembering that I can feel. I had forgotten what it’s like to just be. Without goals. Without performance. Just be.”
Many people think psychedelics are about visions. But in the right setting, with clear intention, they can become something else entirely — a mirror.
A way to meet yourself again.
“I saw how I’d been living — like a machine. Tasks. Deadlines. Strategy. But where was I in all of it?”
What changed after?
He didn’t quit his business.
Didn’t become a guru.
Didn’t move to the jungle.
He simply started living differently —
with more presence, more softness, more honesty.
- He delegated the work that no longer felt aligned.
- He started talking with his wife — not just about logistics, but about feelings.
- He began listening to his kids, not just parenting them.
- He joined a community where he could be real — no armor needed.
“I no longer want success. I want connection. With myself. With others. With life.”
You don’t need ayahuasca to come back to yourself
But the essence is the same
You’re either alive — or you’re playing someone else’s role.
If something in you feels quieted…
If you’re tired of running on autopilot…
If everything looks fine, but feels empty…
Maybe it’s time to remember who you are underneath it all.“I’m not searching for meaning anymore. I just want to be in a space where it’s safe to live. Not to prove. Not to perform. Just be. And in that… there’s already everything I need.”
