Dear Heinrich and Nathan I write this email in recognition of not only the space you have created to facilitate life altering change in my life but also to acknowledge the vessel , ayahuasca for the profound impact , her grace has afforded me ! I had spent the better part of 25 years in active addiction to specifically sex and cocaine- however not only limited too! I had been to 5 different rehabs- nothing worked . I tried white knuckling it - always to no avail. I was at my wits end and came to a place in my life where I was willing to accept that, my life at this point was simply how life would always be . Miserable , Desperate , Lost and Lonely. In an act of absolute desperation I sought counsel from a very dear friend , confidant and counsellor. She recommend that I should make contact with the Wake Circle and book a ceremony as quite frankly I had nothing to loose ! I had no idea what I was getting myself in to , but for the absolute “tripe” which is written on the internet regarding ayahuasca! I decided to take the leap of faith and attend my first ayahuasca ceremony! Nothing could prepare me for the incredible circle I was about to walk in too! I arrived at the ceremony, nervous , irritated , hungry and fraught with anxiety. I was greeted with hugs and embraced as a brother- which in itself was very new to me. I eventually had all my nerves and anxiety put at ease by Nathan and Heinrich as they eloquently discussed the healing I was about to embark on. The space they held was Beautifully sacred and respectful . They guided us through a healing journey with some of the most beautiful icarus and medicine songs - which too this day are sung daily by myself- a constant reminder of this very special day . Make no mistake the journey itself was tough and I was taken to places of trauma which I simply had not been able to access throughout my life! I was beautifully held by the stunning icarus, chanting and singing. Never have I attended an ayahuasca ceremony where I had been dropped in the depths of hell and not brought through it kindly and gently at the finality by madre ayahuasca! Testament to the amazing space held by my two brothers, Nathan and Heinrich. I have attended a number of wake circle ceremonies since that beautiful occasion and today I am a free man. I am clean from drugs , alcohol and took a vow of celibacy to heal my sexual traumas of the past . All testament to the Creator and the Divine vessel of ayahuasca served to me by the Wake Circle. I honour this very special circle today in leading with vulnerability in a quest to unearth an authenticity so deep that I may soar with the eagle high above the mountains a FREE MAN! With Love , Gratitude and Blessings! Haux, Haux, Luke
