In this episode of the Walking With Jaguars Podcast, Matt Blanco sits down with Markos Sikiotis to explore initiation, master plant dietas, and the art of spiritual discernment. They trace the path of returning to nature as the single greatest teacher through ayahuasca ceremonies, Shipibo plant dietas, and the lived wisdom of indigenous lineages. What begins as restriction becomes remembrance. What feels like silence becomes instruction.

From the discipline of long dietas to the living language of Icaros, Markos shares how plants repair intuition, rebuild the connection between mind and spirit, and teach the difference between light and dark. They speak on proof of work in the medicine path, the importance of asking how many dietas a curandero has, and why apprenticeship requires devotion, humility, and clean relationships with energy. They touch Bitcoin, sovereignty, resilience, music as medicine, and what it takes to protect your prayer in a world that feeds on attention.

In this episode of Walking With Jaguars, Matt Blanco and Emily Hannah explore the path of initiation and remembrance - the process of returning to the body as the temple and nature as the teacher.

From solo traveling through South America to the lessons of ayahuasca and the wisdom of indigenous elders, this conversation reveals how true awakening is written into our biology. Every plant, every cycle, every craving is a messenger guiding us home.

They explore the intelligence of the feminine body, the sacred rhythm of moontime, and how nourishment becomes prayer when food is treated as medicine. Together they uncover what it means to live in right relationship with Earth, energy, and self.

If you’ve ever felt the call to slow down, to listen deeply this one is for you.

In this first episode of Walking With Jaguars, Matt Blanco shares the story that seeded the entire project - a journey through science, spirit, and sovereignty.

From studying quantum mechanics in Australia to drinking Ayahuasca deep in the Amazon, from walking jaguars through the Bolivian jungle to living on a Bitcoin standard in Costa Rica, this is the story of how one man broke free from modern conditioning to remember what it means to be human.

This episode weaves the threads of mysticism, plant medicine, freedom, and truth - exploring how ancient wisdom and modern technology mirror the same universal law: Proof of Work.

If you’ve ever felt the call to live closer to truth, nature, and your original blueprint - this is where the path begins.
