This is like every memory I've ever had,
I get to experience again for the first time.
OUR LADY OF REMEDIES
On this day, on this night, those who want to learn
to observe their body...
She asks for strength, she asks for kindness.
On this day, on this night, on this day it will come.
Her family were people of knowledge, wise people through the Mazatec medicines.
To be closer to the "mere boss,"
which is part of how we Mazatec believe in God.
Holy, Holy,
I am the woman
Who looks inside and examines...
When she died, I was 12 years old.
I was a kid.
But thank God I got the chance to experience a ceremony with her.
She would see us tripping
and she would laugh.
She knew we were her blood.
She knew we were the next generation.
What she handed down to us, that gift,
we continue to learn little by little.
María Sabina was a woman who opened the door for everyone.
Mr. Wasson was delighted.
He told us he'd love to take us with him
to Mexico, and show us this world of wonders.
But more and more of them came
because they wanted the medicine, right?
But they did not respect it.
And already at that time blamed granny, great-grandmother,
"Because of her," according to the story,
"It's your fault we're going through this."
I didn't see when they robbed me. I don't carry anything in the world.
- Hi, Ben. - Hello, hello.
How are you?
Doing all right.
Ben, on a scale of zero to 100, how are you feeling?
Zero being completely calm, 100 being in distress.
- Probably about a 70. - Seventy?
Yeah. I'm pretty nervous.
- It's okay. - It's totally normal. It's normal.
To signify the beginning of your journey.
There you go.
This is giving me my whole life back.
- What are you laughing at? - Just the joy of life.
I'm glad you had a significant experience.
Yeah, that's the understatement of the year.
