Ep. 125 - Sacred Tobacco Part 2

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 125 of the show is out. This episode is an interview I was on for another podcast called The Way to Change. It was a good interview where I spoke more in depth about tobacco as a medicine, the plant dieta, ayahuasca, and the archetypes of medicine. So I decided to release the interview as Part 2 of my previous episode entitled Sacred Tobacco (episode 4). I hope you all gain something from this episode.

Ep. 124 - Kat Courtney - Ayahuasca, San Pedro, & Integration

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 124 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Kat Courtney. Kat has a company called Plant Medicine People and they work with sacred plants like ayahuasca, huachuma, and tobacco. She has been training and learning from these plants for over 20 years. We sat down and spoke about her background, the aforementioned plants, her training, what these plants mean to her, how these plants are worked with, why integration is so important, and many other topics. I feel Kat speaks from a really good place and a place of experiential wisdom, so it was a really pleasure to have her on and share. I think you all will gain a lot from this episode.

“Before Ayahuasca, I knew portals of darkness so paralyzing I spent years and years dealing with depression, bi-polar reactiveness, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. When I met the medicine, I dealt with mind-numbing migraine headaches, severe asthma attacks, and regular bouts with intense waves of panic. Then came the indescribable gift of Plant Medicine.

After falling madly in love with the Plants and this ancient process of ceremony, I not only experienced healing on all imaginable levels, I was also blessed to meet a teacher that allowed me to apprentice in the Shipibo-Conibo and Quechua-Lamista traditions of Ayahuasca for over ten years so that I could learn how to give to others the magic that was given to me. I now practice the art of Vegetalismo, which simply means I work with plant consciousness to help humans heal and evolve, and I absolutely love holding Master Plant Dieta containers for those called to merge with plant consciousness.

I also carry the Chavin tradition for Huachuma passed on to me by the late + great Howard Lawler. I began my work as a Psychedelic Integration Coach almost 15 years ago as a response to the obvious growing need for support in the aftermath of ceremony work; it’s been the joy of my existence to be a small part of this incredible movement towards sacred healing and union with Mother Earth. My whole life is dedicated in partnership and service to these incredible Master Plants. Finally, I’m a certified Death Doula wholly honored to create a sacred experience during our ultimate transition as a human consciousness.

I also had the supreme honor of birthing a book called The Plant Medicine Mystery School Volume 1: The Superhero Healing Powers of Psychotropic Plants. If you feel called to work with me, please use the link below to book a session. Let’s co-create some healing magic together <3”

Hey everybody! Episode 123 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dmitry Alexeev. Dmitry is a scientist who specializes in the gut microbiome. The microbiome is a subject I have wanted to cover on this podcast for a while, as it relates to the plants we ingest, our physical and mental health, intelligence, and has a correlation to many indigenous cosmovisions of life and spirits. It was a pleasure to sit down with Dmitry and this was a really fascinating episode delving into this unseen world that is becoming a forefront of science, health, and consciousness.
