Today on Sense of Soul we have, Gerard Powell. He is an author. leading conscious entrepreneur, thought leader, a philanthropist and a public speaker whose mission is to transform lives.The Science of Allowing Abundance Through Honesty. He is also the founder of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the "go-to" facility for a spiritually awakening experience. For years, Gerard was living the "American Dream" as a multi-millionaire who had it all. Yet, deep down, he knew he was missing something and the more success he achieved, the more he fell into darkness of depression. Through he’s own personal crisis, struggling with drugs, alcohol and thoughts of ending it all, he was initiated into the journey of self-transformation. He traveled the world and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in search of every healing modality he could. He then turned his pain into purpose and was inspired to create Rythmia, through a powerful encounter with plant medicine he was transformed and liberated him from a lifetime of suffering. Gerard now spends his days living at the resort and guides each guest seeking their personal transformation. Over 94 percent of the guests, have reported that they received their "miracle.” Gerard (Gerry) Powell is a philanthropic entrepreneur, author, and inspirational speaker. He is the founder and CEO of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the largest medically licensed facility in the world to offer ayahuasca (indigenous plant medicine). Gerry is an expert businessman skilled at starting, growing, and selling companies for profit. His path brought him all the financial abundance he could imagine, including selling his last company for $89 million in 2004. Although Gerard was wealthy, he was plagued with darkness, addiction, and sadness. Finally, after years of fruitless therapy sessions and rehab, Gerry was brought back to light through plant medicine and metaphysics. In gratitude for the plants, he has devoted his life's work to bringing people closer to the wonder of metaphysical plant medicine. www.gerardarmondpowell.com https://www.rythmia.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Hosted by Shanna Vavra, Sense of Soul is a space for deep conversation about the often messy path toward personal and spiritual understanding. Rather than offering simple answers, this podcast sits with the complexities of healing and growth, drawing from a well of diverse perspectives. Shanna connects with guests from various cultural and spiritual backgrounds, each bringing a raw account of how profound challenges were met with resilience and reframed into a sense of purpose. What you’ll hear in these dialogues are not polished success stories, but genuine narratives about confronting pain, questioning beliefs, and discovering an inner light that often feels hidden. The discussions naturally weave through themes of faith, self-improvement, and education in the broadest sense-learning from life itself. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a thoughtful gathering where the focus is on authentic human experience across different traditions and personal journeys. It’s for anyone curious about the intersection of spirituality and daily life, seeking a sense of connection and reflection through the shared wisdom of others walking a similar path.
