A few days ago, I returned from a 9-day vision quest in the jungles of Mexico. I had a sleeping bag, a mosquito net, and the clothes on my back. Let me tell you, re-entry into the world of running water, soft beds, and grocery stores has felt luxurious in a way I didn’t know was possible.

I dry fasted for 4 days and 4 nights. No food. No water. Just me, my thoughts, Mother Earth beneath me, and…way too many ants.
