I've learned that ayahuasca works in levels, a little like peeling an onion. It is complex and something you really have to experience to understand.

Wherever wolves run free, indigenous cultures have revered them as symbols of loyalty, free will, fearlessness and unity.

Yes, your jewelry choices make a difference. When you invest in ethical, heirloom-quality jewelry, you're also investing in the future. Your purchase supports a creative community of like-minded humanitarians, out there doing important work.
