Psychonaut Speaker at a Work Retreat

This week my company flew in a "wellness coach" for a work retreat with my entire department.
The guy was great. His main objective for his presentation was to discuss the different ways to live the best life possible and how to maximize your body and mind.
At one point in this speech he was trying to describe an experience he had in the Amazon once and in the way he was describing it, it became very clear to me that he was attempting to describe a psychedelic experience and how profound the experience was on his life.
Now we're in a work environment, and while I work with a few really cool folks, I mostly work with a bunch of corporate america douchebags. So he wasn't able to say that "hey during this psych trip once I..." without being ostracized or discredited immediately by the majority.
After he was done speaking we took a quick break and I was able to pull him aside in the hallway and I told him how much I enjoyed his speech. I then asked him straight up..."were you by chance describing an ayahuasca experience in your Amazonian story"
And he was. He said he's done it a few times and that they were some of the most important and life-changing experiences of his life. He also stressed how important it was to do it with the right people and how shady the business can be in this field down there. We exchanged contact info and said he would answer any questions I had about it, and that he would recommend a few places to check out and a few to stay away from.
I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to Peru next Spring and I was already planning on doing an ayahuasca ceremony or two while I'm down there.
I fucking hate these retreats but for once, I'm glad we all got together and I'm glad I met this dude!!!
Cheers
