The Art in
Past Lives

You know the one. The fear with no evidence behind it. The relationship you keep recreating no matter who you're with. The stranger who felt, from the first hello, like coming home. Years of therapy have helped — some. But something underneath has stayed exactly the same.

The Art in Past Lives explores a startling possibility: that our most stubborn wounds, our most irrational fears, and our most repeated patterns may not have started in this lifetime at all.

Through six true stories witnessed by the author across years of ceremonial work with ayahuasca, this book traces the thread between unresolved past-life trauma and the unexplainable textures of present-day life — the phobia with no origin story, the relationship we can't seem to leave even when we leave it, the grief that predates our own history.

This is not a scholarly argument for reincarnation. It is a practical, deeply human field guide to a single question: what if healing requires knowing where the wound began? Whether you take these stories as literal history or as resonant metaphor, the framework inside — recognition, grief, compassion, dialogue, release, and embodiment — offers a path toward the freedom that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot reach.

Your patterns are not proof that you are broken. They may be proof that something in you has been waiting, patiently, across a very long time, to finally be seen.
