Reconnecting to Inner Medicine – Healing, Trust, and the Courage to Live Aligned with Celeste Palmer

What does it mean to be a “medicine woman” — and how do we bring ancient healing wisdom into real life, without bypassing the human journey?
In this intimate conversation, Zoran welcomes Celeste Palmer, trained and initiated in Amazonian curanderismo, to explore healing as a return to alignment — across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

Celeste shares her origin story: the early loss of her twin sister, Caitlin, a period of dissociation and “sleeping through life,” and the final shock of divorce that became the gateway into deep self-healing. Through a first ayahuasca retreat in Portugal, she describes receiving a vision of soul purpose — and the call to facilitate balance, harmonization, and the dissolving of dis-ease so life can be expressed more fully.
From there, the episode opens into the deeper teachings:

• Trust as the foundation of transformation — the “biggest trust fall” of life
• Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path — sometimes the path disappears to initiate you into the unknown
• The nervous system’s role in awakening — learning edges, expansion, and staying resourced
• Ayahuasca as an earth intelligence and sentient teacher — a medicine first, and then a “school of life”
• Why the “dark” (inner and cosmic) isn’t something to fear — and how light is accessed through what we’ve avoided
• The integration challenge: returning to the same environment with a different energetic field

Celeste’s core integration principles: lento pero seguro (slow but sure), grounding practices, devotion, and gratitude
Why having an anchor matters — a coach, mentor, community, or touchpoint to help you remember, stabilize, and embody change
The episode ends with a powerful closing reflection for the year ahead. Celeste frames 2026 as a year of cultivation, devotion, and nourishment — preparing the inner soil and tending the seeds that will bloom in what she senses as a larger collective shift ahead.
This is a conversation for leaders, coaches, seekers, and anyone navigating change — who wants depth without drama, mysticism without escapism, and spirituality that can actually be lived.
