    We are- a family of four,
    Mum- Annie,
    Dad-Bruce
    Two children Elsie and Betsy
    One dog - Doug
    and we decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.
    Pickles the van-
    We first bought our Mercedes MWB sprinter van for £700 back in 2012 and converted it ourselves on a very tight budget! After 6 years of awesome adventures we needed to find a van that was better suited to us as a growing family of four and one all important van dog!
    We all felt too attached to Pickles to get rid, so we stripped him bare and started again.
    We cut the roof off to maximise our space and created what we now proudly call our home on wheels.
    Check out our van build on our Instagram stories ~ thenomadicals
    How did we get here
    After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to travel Europe as a family in our self converted sprinter camper van then we were going to have to be brave and make it happen.
    We sold all our stuff, our house and our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true.
    Our timing may be a little of what with a global pandemic and Brexit round the corner but I know that when we set our minds and hearts to something we always make it work.
    Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to travel to new places, see new things, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of finding land and creating a way of life that sings to us, one where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.

    Bruce, it has to be said that you have a special talent. To be able to eloquently describe your experiences for 28 minutes lucidly, without notes, without stumbling, avoiding repetition and evoking the emotions you felt at the time is quite remarkable. A fascinating video :)

    I have a kambo and bufo ceremony coming up in 3 days. I'm terrified but also very excited. I carry a lot of baggage and pain that I'm seeking to shed. I have a bit of a drinking problem as a result. The last few years have been deeply traumatic for me. Toronto where I live had one of the longest pandemic lockdowns on earth. I developed some bad habits and severe depression during that time which still effects me. I'm hoping to move on from the past and finally look to the future. Great video, very inspiring. Wish me luck!

    Interesting that they do ayahuasca and bufo so close together. Others I have talked to about it seemed to think that after bufo there needs to be a 3 week wait or so before ayahuasca. I'm glad you had such a good experience.

    • @OffGridBruce
      @OffGridBruce  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks. Since this experience I have listened to a lot of others experiences and almost all of them seem to say/do it differently. It definitely worked this way for me and has had a lasting life changing effect even now. To me it was perfect but I am no expert that’s for sure.

    • @mattslev
      @mattslev 2 роки тому

      It is unsafe to do bufo/5-MeO-DMT soon after ayahuasca due to a risk of serotonin syndrome from combining 5meo with MAOIs contained within the ayahuasca vine, which can remain in the active body for many hours with no real way to know exactly how long. There has been at least one death attributed to combination of the two medicines in this order that I'm aware of. The reverse order--doing bufo/5meo first followed by ayahuasca a few hours later--is theoretically safe from a physiological standpoint since the body rapidly metabolizes 5meo. That said, whether it's beneficial or wise to combine these medicines so close together is another issue entirely, and you'll find very strong opinions for and against such practices. Also, worth noting that it is unsafe to do kambo after bufo/5meo from what I've been told by several facilitators who serve both medicines, but the reverse order is considered to be relatively safe for healthy individuals. I've done it the latter way with great results. However, as I alluded to already, these are both very intense experiences that can put stress on the heart, so proceed with caution.

    This popped up totally randomly. But we know that's not entirely true never done Ayahuasca or dmt indulged in other ways and had some intense moments , tripping on absolutely nothing apart from the Sun that's happened 3Xs. Being scanned by white light 2Xs. Seeing things that are there but not in corporeal form. Synchronicity kicking in while hitching everything spoken turned up in one way or another. I feel your cleansing, starting over, had something akin after visiting partners mum who was volunteering in Africa w VSO. Came back lighter, cleansed of bs, and cd feel n see it. You try to hang on to it but it eventually fades and old imprints programmes and habits kick in. In my 60s now n becoming brittle THANK YOU for reminding me of medicines and ways back in 🙏

    Lovely. You probably won't see this comment, but thanks so much for sharing , anyway. I've been wanting to try ayahuasca for the longest time, but at the same time I'm quite nervous about the idea. As silly as it sounds, the whole vomiting aspect is what puts me off the most! 😆. Substances such as these really do have the potential to change lives for the better. It's always fascinating- and inspiring- to hear about people's various experiences with them.

We need that evidence so that we can offer the right molecule and correct dose to specific patients to improve different conditions. At the moment this area seems quite 'scatter gun' and unspecific. There clearly is something there in terms of healing mental trauma.
