Sherif Fouad is a powerful, wise, and poetic man who found his way to Buddha Nature. And Sherif continues to find ways to express this state of being in his work and life. But these teachings didn’t come easy. In his first Ayahuasca ceremony with 1heart, the gates of Hell broke open, and he saw how he was chasing things that never truly mattered. But by his final Ayahuasca experience, he was put in touch with the radiant, empowered parts of himself that had been boxed away for too long.
In our second episode, our Chief Om Officer, Tim Sae Koo, interviews Sherif Fouad from Journey 11. Sherif is an Egyptian American entrepreneur in the hospitality and health/wellness industries and a real estate investor.
As a personal development coach and public speaker, Sherif’s style provides a unique, fun, and engaging approach to spirituality and personal development workshops infusing music, play, and interactive participation.
Sherif is currently based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. His interests are travel, functional medicine, practical strength training, yoga, soccer, and local community impact.

DISCLAIMER: In sharing stories from leaders who have used plant medicine, including ayahuasca, to elevate their lives, we are not recommending it to you or suggesting that it will have the same results. Each individual will react differently to the medicine, which can be largely shaped by the set and setting of your experience as well as your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state prior to joining. If you’re interested in this or a similar experience, we recommend you do your own research and speak to others who have done it so you can best determine if it is a good fit for you at this time. Should you decide to do so, we strongly suggest doing so with great reverence and respect for the medicine and the powerful effects it can create in your life. We also recommend anyone working with this medicine spend time preparing themselves before their ceremony(s) and have resources lined up to support them in their integration post-ceremony(s).
Also, it is important to note that the plants and compounds mentioned in this post are still illegal in many countries, and even possession can carry severe criminal penalties. None of this post constitutes medical advice or should be construed as a recommendation to use psychedelics. There are serious legal, psychological, and physical risks. Psychedelics are not for everyone—they can exacerbate certain emotional problems, and there have been, in very rare cases, fatalities.
Our mission is to elevate the life, work, and community of heart-led leaders who together elevate global consciousness and solve planetary problems.
