What happens when a mental health professional who has spent decades helping others reaches a point where the tools she has always relied on are no longer enough?Missy spent 25 years working in mental health. At the height of her private practice, she was seeing roughly 60 clients a week while navigating her own depression, health challenges, and long-term use of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications.Then, after years of caregiving and the loss of both parents, Missy reached what she describes as rock bottom.Her search for healing eventually led her to ayahuasca, where she began confronting complex PTSD, generational trauma, and grief. Later, she felt called to explore psilocybin, a path that brought her to Eleusinia.In this candid conversation, Missy shares how her psilocybin experiences differed from ayahuasca, how the experience of receiving care became an unexpectedly profound part of her journey, and what her background as a clinician allowed her to see when it comes to ethics, safety, and support in psychedelic spaces.She also shares how the experience helped reveal what had been missing from the book she was writing about her journey: what comes next.This is a deeply personal conversation about finding yourself again amidst caring for others, allowing yourself to be cared for, and finding the courage to begin a new chapter.

Larkin Swain left the LDS Church as a teenager and spent years searching for healing, spirituality, and truth. Her journey took her through yoga, meditation, energy work, plant medicine, and eventually ayahuasca—until an unexpected encounter with Jesus Christ changed the direction of her life.In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner sits down with Larkin to explore her remarkable spiritual journey from Utah to Bali and Thailand, through spiritual seeking and a profound conversion to Christ, and eventually back to the LDS faith and the temple.Larkin shares the dark ayahuasca experience in which she saw Christ on the cross and heard the words, “It is finished.” She describes the prayer that followed months later, the unmistakable peace she experienced the next morning, and why she ultimately began reading the Bible, rediscovered the Book of Mormon, returned to church, and received her temple endowment.But her story doesn't end with returning to religion. Meghan and Larkin explore Christian contemplation, embodiment, mysticism, symbolism, ritual, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and what it means to develop a deeply personal relationship with God while participating in a faith tradition.They also discuss Larkin's work as host of Sanctuary, a Faith Matters podcast exploring the LDS temple, sacred ritual, symbolism, transformation, and the mystical dimensions of discipleship.This conversation is for anyone navigating faith transition, spiritual seeking, religious reconstruction, Christian mysticism, LDS temple worship, or the desire to experience God beyond intellectual belief.Larkin Swain is a seeker of heaven and truth, contemplative poet, herbalist, and lifelong student of the healing arts. Raised in Utah County in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she stepped away from the faith at 15 and spent years exploring spirituality and healing practices. While living in Thailand, she experienced a transformative conversion to Jesus Christ that eventually led her back to the LDS faith with a renewed perspective on its doctrine, temple worship, symbolism, and ritual. She is the host of Sanctuary, a Faith Matters podcast exploring the temple, sacred ritual, and spiritual transformation.  Learn more and explore everything at:https://meghanfarner.comConnect with us:• Instagram: @hiddenwisdompod• YouTube: @hiddenwisdomldd

My guest this week is Brad Sterner of Inekawa healing center and foundation where the focus is on transformation and nondual self-realization via ayahuasca. While ayahuasca is more commonly associated with Amazonian shamanism, spirits, and alternate realities (dualism), for Brad, it's all about nonduality. We dive in deep in our conversation about how and why this is a different approach to this ancient psychedelic brew.

I've interviewed over 100 people on this podcast, and this conversation hit me in a way none of the others have. It made me reflect deeply on my life and what is still holding me back. And if you've ever been curious about plant medicine, or want to learn anything about it, this is the episode to listen to.Part of what hit me may be timing. I'm taking my daughter, my last kid, to college the day before you hear this episode. One day I'm scared and in tears, and the next I feel a little free, hearing a voice say, "It's your time, Molly, to get back more of you, your marriage, your career." It's a hodgepodge of emotions, and Kat's reassuring, loving, and wise voice gave me real comfort in this time of transition.And oh my gosh, did this episode ever quench my thirst for answers about plant medicine!Content note: This episode includes a firsthand account of a suicide attempt, plus discussion of addiction, trauma, and death. Please listen with care.Kat is not only extensively trained in plant medicine, but she's also remarkably knowledgeable about its effects, its healing potential, and the laws surrounding it. She speaks to it medically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, with a reported 1,000+ ayahuasca ceremonies behind her. But I'd encourage anyone to listen, even if you're not interested in plant medicine, because she also talks about how to function in this world as a human. You'll hear morning and evening rituals, daily practices, and tips and tools to feel more balanced, joyful, and alive.About KatKat Courtney is a pioneer in the modern plant medicine space and a traditionally trained Ayahuasquera and Huachumera with over two decades of professional psychedelic experience. She apprenticed for 10+ years in the Shipibo-Conibo and Quechua-Lamista traditions, and she's the author of Plant Medicine Mystery School Vol 1. She leads Master Plant Diets in person and remotely, offers shamanic coaching, and is a certified death doula. In this conversation, she shares the moment her life cracked open in her early 20s, how ayahuasca became the missing piece in her healing, and why she believes the hardest moments of our lives hold the greatest gifts.In this episode:Surviving a suicide attempt and choosing to go on “a mission to heal”Why your pain is valid, even when it doesn't match your life storySSRIs as a life raft vs. plant medicines as a way to “close trauma loops”Ibogaine for addiction and trauma workThe four Cs of shadow work: crisis, clinical, cultural, and chemicalKat's Colorado arrest and the future of plant medicine legalityPractices for everyoneMorning: Take an hour before email and screens to check in with yourself and set an intention.Evening: Name your best win of the day and let your body release the rest.Ongoing: Catch the inner critic, work with your dreams, and ask, "Does this bring me joy and comfort?"Kat's four questions for any facilitatorWho trained you, and for how long?What's the hardest thing you've been through, as a participant and a facilitator?How do you handle it when someone says they don't feel safe in your space?What's your protocol if someone has a psychotic break or a very hard experience?Taking my last kid to college is cracking open an old identity for me as a mom, and it's making me look at my life through a different lens. Listening to Kat reminded me that there are so many ways to do that deeper work: plant medicine, daily rituals, therapy, time in nature. What stuck with me most is that I can't just wait for life to do it for me. I need to step in and do the reflection myself, so that my life is rich and full with or without my kids in the house. I hope this conversation leaves you feeling the same way, whatever transition you're in and whichever path feels right for you.xoMollyPromo Information:Work with KatPlant Medicine Mystery School Vol. 1 (book): plantmedicinepeople.comPlant Medicine People retreats and programs: plantmedicinepeople.comWebsite + SocialWebsite: plantmedicinepeople.comIbogaine clinic: basseibogaine.comInstagram: @theafterlifecoachInstagram: @plantmedicinepeopleYouTube: Kat CourtneyThis episode reflects the guest's personal experiences and opinions and is not medical advice.

In dit gesprek praten HP (Hans-Peter) en ik over het gebruik van plantmedicijnen: wat zijn plantmedicijnen, waarom zou je die gebruiken en wat zijn zoal de uitdagingen en de potentie ervan. Maar we hebben het ook over de vraag of er overeenkomsten zijn met tantra en of plantmedicijnen en tantra een goede combinatie zijn. HP is begeleider van psychedelische reizen, voor mensen die behoefte hebben aan nieuw perspectief, aan verzachting of aan (het)opening van het hart. In een Yurt op een fijne, rustige plek in Zeeland geeft hij zo'n 10 keer per jaar een retraite of ceremonie met een plantmedicijn. Kijk hiervoor op www.binnenwerk.net. Voor tantra bij Bliss Your Body: kijk op www.blissyourbody.nl Enkele begrippen die in het gesprek voorbij komen: Huachuma: een cactus die in de bergen van Zuid Peru groeit. Om de katholieke Spanjaarden om de tuin te leiden werd het omgedoopt tot San Pedro. Niet te verwarren met Peyote, ook een cactus maar uit Mexico. Beschermd en bedreigd, in tegenstelling tot Huachuma. Ayahuasca: een medicijn gemaakt uit 2 componenten: een MAO remmer als Caapi (een liaan uit het Amazone gebied) of Syrische Wijnruit en een DMT houdende plant (Chacruna, Chaliponga in de jungle, maar bijvoorbeeld ook een plant die familie is van de Mimosa (Jurema) MAO-(remmer): MAO is een enzym in je spijsverteringskanaal dat zich bezighoudt met het afbreken van allerlei verbindingen en ook met je hormoonhuishouding, met name serotonine. Als je het tweede component van Ayahuasca zou innemen zonder het eerste, de MAO remmer, dan gebeurt er weinig, omdat de MAO enzymen de DMT, de stof die je nodig hebt voor de psychedelische ervaring afbreekt. Ayahuasca vs Anahuasca: Als het gemaakt is met Caapi, de liaan uit de jungle, mag je het Ayahuasca noemen. Als je een andere MAO remmer gebruikt zoals Peganum (Syrische Wijnruit) heet het Anahuasca, een analoog. Het traditionele medicijn heeft haar 2 componenten meestal in 1 glas zitten, de Anahuasca zit meestal in 2, en wordt met een tussenpoos van 10 tot 20 minuten gedronken. De ervaring van de een en de ander is verschillend, maar niet beter of slechter. Het is anders.

Beyond Ayahuasca: The Ancient Tree Medicine and Tobacco Tradition That Predates Modern Plant Healing with Jordan Mockingbird. Sacred Tobacco, Master Trees and the Forgotten Path of Human Awakening. The Old Way Is Returning: Ancient Tree Medicine for Modern Healing. Ancient Tree Medicine, Sacred Tobacco & The Old Way with Jordan Mockingbird What if trees could help us remember something humanity has forgotten? In this fascinating episode of Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine, I'm joined by Jordan Mockingbird, a teacher of the Medicine Path and devoted practitioner of the shamanic healing arts, for a profound exploration of master tree diets, sacred tobacco, ancestral wisdom, plant medicine, embodiment, and the ancient relationship between humans and the natural world. Jordan's spiritual journey began with a decade of Gnostic studies in Asia. After experiencing severe illness, he left his career as a producer and committed himself to a path of personal transformation through shamanic plant study, trees, breathwork, fasting, and traditional medicine practices. His work with Amazonian plant dieting traditions radically transformed his life, vision, health, and sense of purpose. Jordan studied under Cocama elder William Llerena Murayari and spent seven years in mentorship with Apache elder Iron Eagle Joe, through whom he received the name Mockingbird and the blessing to teach through ceremony. One of the central subjects of our conversation is the ancient practice of master tree dieting.Jordan explains how these traditional practices involve periods of fasting, solitude, dietary restriction, silence, breathwork, and communion with a particular "teacher tree." Participants work with the bark tea of the tree while entering a deeply focused and embodied state. Rather than approaching plant medicine solely through psychedelic experiences, Jordan describes the master tree diet as a slow, grounded, somatic process in which dreams, body wisdom, emotional awareness, and subtle perception can become important avenues of learning. The practice is described as both medicine for the body, mind and spirit and a kind of "nature's mystery school. #free #podcast #astrology Subscribe to YouTube channel:  @jilljardine2186 to hear more astrological updates! https://bleav.com/shows/cosmic-scene-with-jill-jardine/ for audio versions. Across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and major podcast outlets such as Apple and Spotify, the buzz is on August 2026 eclipses and astrology. The episode explores the relationship between master tree diets and ayahuasca traditions in the Amazon. Jordan shares his perspective that tree dieting traditions represent an older layer of Amazonian plant medicine practice and describes how he encountered these traditions while working with ayahuasca and master trees in the Amazon. We discuss the difference between seeking a powerful altered-state experience and undertaking a longer process of embodiment, integration, discipline, and transformation. Another major theme is sacred tobacco medicine.Jordan explains the traditional understanding of tobacco as a bridge, emissary, or voice to the Creator, and discusses how tobacco is used within his work through intention, prayer, song, ceremony, and dietary practice. We explore tobacco not from the perspective of commercial tobacco use, but through Jordan's description of its ceremonial and traditional role within the Medicine Path. He describes tobacco as a teacher and ally and discusses how it can be incorporated into work with the trees and the different layers of embodied experience. At the heart of Jordan's philosophy is what he calls "The Old Way"—a remembrance of ancestral power and our innate spirituality as human beings. We talk about what it means to reconnect with nature, ancestral knowledge, the body, Earth consciousness, and traditional healing practices in a modern Western world. Jordan describes the Medicine Path as a process of shedding false identities, slowing down, becoming more regulated and embodied, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of soul purpose and personal transformation. Jordan emphasizes somatic knowing, body awareness, breath, fasting, dreams, emotionality, and physical experience as pathways into deeper awareness. We discuss how spiritual awakening can be grounded in the body rather than existing solely as an altered state of consciousness. Working With Trees in the Northern Hemisphere Jordan's work has expanded beyond the Amazon. He now works extensively with Northern Hemisphere trees, including oak and birch, and facilitates master tree diet experiences in different parts of the world. We discuss his upcoming Ojai Master Tree Diet, as well as his international work in England, Ireland, Australia, and other locations. His upcoming programs include: Integrated Tobacco Diet September 26–October 26, 2026 Sacred Tree Keepers Community 2027 Integrated Tobacco Diet February 19–May 21, 2027 Ojai Master Tree Diets May 27–June 4, 2027 This episode explores: What exactly is a Master Tree Diet? The ancient tradition of plant dieting Shamanic healing and the Medicine Path Amazonian plant medicine traditions The relationship between master tree diets and ayahuasca Sacred and ceremonial tobacco Tobacco as a spiritual bridge to the Creator Ancestral healing and ancestral wisdom Somatic awareness and embodied spirituality Dreams as a pathway of plant intelligence Breathwork, fasting and solitude Nature as a teacher and "mystery school" The concept of The Old Way Spiritual awakening through embodiment Shedding outdated identities and reconnecting with soul purpose Indigenous and ancestral approaches to healing Working with oak, birch and other teacher trees Bringing traditional practices into the modern Western world The importance of discipline, discomfort and integration on a spiritual path Sacred ceremony and the relationship between humans and the natural world Jordan Mockingbird is an artist, teacher, medicine practitioner and devoted student of the Medicine Path. His work centers on shamanic healing, plant medicine, master tree diets, sacred tobacco, breathwork, fasting, ancestral wisdom, embodiment and spiritual transformation. His passion is helping human beings "wake up The Old Way"—remembering our ancestral relationship with nature, the body and the deeper spiritual dimensions of human existence.

Dr. T welcomes ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron, founder of Kintu Worlds, for a conversation about combat trauma, ayahuasca, ceremonial practice, and the responsibilities involved in creating safe medicine spaces. Michael describes how military service profoundly altered his sense of self and how the loss of a fellow soldier affected his unit. After leaving the military, the symptoms of PTSD became increasingly apparent, eventually contributing to a longer search for healing. His introduction to ayahuasca in Australia became an important point in that process and ultimately led to years of personal medicine work and ceremonial facilitation. Michael and Dr. T explore the cultural dimensions of ayahuasca practice and the complexities that arise as traditional medicine moves beyond its original cultural contexts. Michael argues that different cultures bring distinct psychological patterns, histories, and ways of relating into ceremony, requiring facilitators to understand the people they serve rather than simply reproduce another culture's practices. The conversation also examines Michael's approach to ceremonial safety, including clear boundaries, protection, presence, self-knowledge, and what he describes as working from the heart. For Michael, the heart is not associated with sentimentality, but with clarity, embodied presence, and an immediate capacity to perceive what is occurring within a ceremonial space. Dr. T and Michael consider what these perspectives might mean as psychedelic therapy increasingly brings clinical psychotherapy into contact with ceremonial and spiritual frameworks. They discuss tensions between medical models and traditional approaches, the importance of ethical standards among underground practitioners, and the possibility of greater collaboration among ceremonial communities. Michael also reflects on mortality, friendship, community, and the relationships that help people endure difficult periods of life. His experiences of combat and trauma inform a perspective in which medicine work is not only concerned with individual transformation, but also with cultivating connection, responsibility, kindness, and meaningful participation in community. “You know, and this is medicine of friendship. You know, cultivate that friendship, that support. And that's what keeps us strong; and have a listening ear. Listen. We don't have to say so much. Just listen and be kind to each other, and that's it.” — Michael Gueron About Michael Gueron: Michael's journey began in Israel, where early life experiences, including military service as a member of the Israeli Paratroopers, left deep emotional wounds. Overcoming the trauma of these intense combat experiences led Michael to a profound healing journey spanning over 15 years. From studying transpersonal counseling, Shiatsu, and oriental therapies, to immersing himself in sacred plant medicine traditions in Peru and Brazil, Michael's path has been one of relentless transformation. His work with Australian acacias and master plants like Ayahuasca and Huachuma has awakened profound soul memories and a deep commitment to service. Today, Michael has facilitated thousands of individuals in their healing journeys, combining ancient wisdom with compassionate care.

[00:58:14] Friendship, Community, and Kindness Michael closes with a call for connection, listening, friendship, and simple acts of kindness as forms of medicine within communities. __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the key to healing trauma, addiction, depression, and other deeply rooted emotional patterns lies beyond the tools of conventional medicine? In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia and a pioneer at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous plant medicine, to explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca. Dr. Jeff explains how this powerful medicine may influence the brain, including synaptic plasticity, while emphasizing the critical importance of safety, screening, intention, and the “set and setting” surrounding the experience. He also shares insights into trauma, women's emotional health, supporting highly sensitive people, and why some individuals may be drawn to plant medicine after conventional approaches haven't delivered lasting results. Whether you're curious about ayahuasca or simply interested in the future of mental and emotional healing, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at what may be possible when we expand the definition of medicine.Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. is a pioneer in the mental health revolution and Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, the world's first and only medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. With over 18,000 success stories and a 98% transformation rate, Dr. Jeff is leading the healing work at Rythmia, guiding people from all walks of life - including doctors, veterans, therapists, and those who have tried everything else toward emotional breakthroughs, recovery from trauma, and lasting transformation.Supported by influential figures such as Kelly Slater, MLK III, Jack Canfield and comedian Ron White, who serve on the board, along with Hollywood A-listers like Terrence Howard, Rythmia helps individuals reconnect with their true selves in a way that traditional medicine often overlooks. For over 25 years, Dr. Jeff has worked at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous medicine, helping thousands break free from PTSD, addiction, and depression. As a former Clinical Director of Passages Malibu, the world's most successful luxury rehab center, he's seen firsthand where traditional treatments fail - leading him to explore the power of alternative therapies.SHOW NOTES:0:48 Welcome to the podcast!2:47 ABout Dr. Jeff McNairy3:50 Welcome him to the show!4:40 Why Ayahuasca?5:55 About Iboga7:13 How Ayahuasca works9:24 Who it's not for12:25 Pre-trip cardiac work-up 14:28 Safety at Rythmia15:16 Schizophrenia17:19 Indigenous cultural practices19:15 When Westerners take Aya19:59 About Shamanism22:49 Importance of Set & Setting25:26 Abuse & trauma in plant medicine28:27 Women's emotional & mental health30:49 First discovery of Ayahuasca33:31 Mechanisms of Action36:50 Synaptic plasticity37:55 Purging on Ayahuasca44:39 How to prepare for visiting Rythmia47:20 The main reasons people do Aya51:30 Rythmia facilities & schedule57:08 Supporting Empaths1:07:25 Dosing Aya1:11:40 Where to learn more1:15:24 Ayahuasca in a nutshell1:16:40 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: RythmiaFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this episode I am joined by Peter Kelly, independent spiritual teacher and author of “The Phoenix Birth” and “The Saturated Breath”. Peter recalls his troubled childhood, struggles with crime and addiction, imprisonment, and subsequent spiritual quest. Peter recounts what he describes as a series of powerful spiritual initiations that he believes have led him to the level of adept, how his use and facilitation of ayahuasca trips contributed to his path, and the role that esoteric reading has played in informing his insights. Peter reveals that he has slept for only 30 minutes a night for most of his life, details childhood astral learning and experiences of gnosis in contact with ascended masters such as Kuthumi, and emphasises the importance of fully embodying spiritual truth. I also question Peter about his claim to specialise in the “alchemy of the Egyptian Priesthood and Hermetic Traditions, the sacred wisdom of the fire temples of Zoroastrianism, and the Qabalah of the Essene and Mosaic traditions”, among others and suggest that in doing so he risks misrepresenting both those traditions and his own teachings. … Episode link in bio.

After taking some time to land, integrate and find my feet again, I'm finally ready to share what happened during my return to the Amazon.This was my second time in the Peruvian Amazon, but this journey felt incredibly different. This time, I had the privilege of bringing a beautiful group with me and witnessing them experience the land, the medicine and the magic that changed so much for me the first time around.In this episode, I take you inside the experience and share some of the moments, ceremonies and teachings that have stayed with me since coming home.My intention going into this journey was to learn how to hold desire with an open palm. To allow myself to want deeply, dream deeply and be excited for what is coming, without allowing those desires to pull me away from the life that is already here. And what unfolded became such a beautiful lesson in presence.I share what the medicine taught me about stillness over chasing, becoming the grounded woman, trusting what is meant for me, finding safety within myself and recognising that pleasure, love and aliveness are not things we have to wait for another person or experience to give us. They are states we can learn to cultivate within our own bodies. This episode is ultimately about learning to hold both.Desire and presence. Expansion and gratitude. The spiritual and the human. Being deeply in love with where you are while remaining completely open to how good life can still become.This is a very special episode and a little glimpse into a week that I know will stay with me forever.

Eight years ago, I travelled alone to Peru and drank ayahuasca seven times over two weeks.I went there after reaching a breaking point.From the outside, my life looked successful. Underneath it, I was lonely, guarded, abusing substances and carrying years of shame, rejection and unresolved experiences.Ayahuasca didn't magically fix my life.But something happened in Peru that changed the way I saw myself — and looking back eight years later, I can see a series of decisions that eventually created a completely different life.In this episode of Dear Christiano, I'm going back to who I was before Peru, the experiences that affected me most, what changed when I came home, what didn't change, the years of integration that followed and the question I've been thinking about ever since:Who would I be today if I'd never gone?Because maybe transformation isn't the moment everything changes.Maybe it's the moment something cracks open — and what we choose to do afterwards.This episode reflects my personal experience and is not medical advice or a recommendation to use ayahuasca or other psychedelics.

The one that can save us or destroy us. I meet him face to face, while battling my PTSD and sitting with Ayahuasca. A game changer for me. Combined with my Vipassana medication practice I discovered a way to manage the demons in my head better. By embrassing them and too not allowing them to take over. Demons such as rage, depression, anxiety, addiction and revenge. I saw them as really bad roommates in my head, trying to own my space. But, they forget Im the landlord and its my place they are trying to monopolize. Thats not happening. Its a different take on complete on the AA or NA approach of complete abstinence, which I agree some folks do need to compelte remove the demons out. But some folks, like myself, learned they can better manage them this way and use that sharper edge, to build somehting great. TUrning a “mid life crisis” into a" mid life awakening!

In this episode I share about the integration process AFTER having experienced an ayahuasca ceremony and I discuss psychedelic therapy and how it has the potential to rewire the brain, change the mind and allow us to release blocks that may be keeping us attached to old programming. While I do not endorse psychedelic use and maintain that this is something to be taken very seriously and done under supervision by ethical practitioners, I am fascinated by the neuroscience and potential for psychedelic therapy to reset our brains and reprogram our limiting beliefs.Link to Michael Pollan's Book: How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendencehttps://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mi...ZOOM BACKGROUND DESIGN BY FREEPIK.COM Music Credits: Track: Wandering — JayJen [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: • Wandering — JayJen | Free Background ...

From Grinding To Flow: The Renaissance Time For Plant Medicine and Leadership

Over the past year, my work has been taking me deeper into a question that has been sitting underneath much of my coaching practice: what happens when we have already done a lot of the work in the mind, but something is still keeping us from living our full potential?As a coach, I have spent years working with leaders on strategy, decision-making, self-awareness, leadership, relationships, purpose and business. And yet, again and again, I have seen that knowing something intellectually does not necessarily mean that we can change it. We can understand why we behave the way we do. We can talk about our fears, our childhood patterns and our limiting beliefs. We can even have a very clear vision of the person we want to become. And still, we repeat the same patterns.This is what eventually led me to explore another dimension of the work: the wisdom of the body, the intelligence of the heart and, eventually, plant medicine.For this episode of A Spark of Awareness, I invited Omar M'Rabet Gomez to have a conversation about his own journey with plant medicine, what he has learned through almost three decades of working with these traditions, and why so many leaders are increasingly curious about this work. This is not an invitation to see plant medicine as the answer to everything. There are many paths to transformation. But for some people, it can be a powerful catalyst for going beyond the patterns of the mind and accessing something that has been difficult to reach through conventional approaches alone.From the corporate world to the jungleOmar's story is very different from mine, but there was something very familiar in it. Born in Mexico, he grew up with a strong connection to nature and spent much of his youth seeking out indigenous communities and learning from people who had maintained a relationship with nature that modern society has, in many ways, forgotten.Long before plant medicine became a mainstream conversation, Omar was traveling, spending time with indigenous communities and learning from them. His first experience with peyote happened in Mexico, followed years later by his first experience with Ayahuasca in the Amazon in 2004. At the time, very little was known publicly about these traditions. There were no Instagram accounts explaining how to prepare for a ceremony, no mainstream podcasts and very little public conversation about psychedelics. He entered this world through direct experience.What happened in those early ceremonies profoundly changed him. He describes experiences of forgiveness, self-love and a deep sense of connection. One of the most important realizations for him was what he calls radical unconditional self-love.But what struck me most about Omar's story is that he did not immediately leave the corporate world and become a facilitator. He went back. He worked in business. He managed a law firm. He lived a very material, successful life. And yet, something was missing.Eventually, a series of profound life events brought him back to the path he had encountered in the jungle and ultimately led him to build a healing centre and dedicate his life to this work.Looking back, he says something that stayed with me: he didn't build the healing centre to heal other people. He built it to heal himself.Helping others became a byproduct of his own healing journey. And perhaps this is an important distinction for anyone working in the space of transformation: We cannot guide others where we have not been.Why are leaders drawn to plant medicine?One of the questions I wanted to explore with Omar was why so many high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs are increasingly curious about psychedelics and plant medicine.Because this is not only happening in spiritual communities. Omar has worked with people from all walks of life: electricians, mechanics, mothers, entrepreneurs, executives and CEOs of some of the world's largest companies.And according to his experience, the most powerful leaders often encounter the same fundamental challenges as everyone else. They get in their own way.Behind the performance, the success, the intelligence and the ability to make decisions, there can be self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear, the need for recognition and a deep attachment to control. The more successful someone becomes, the more sophisticated the protection mechanisms can become.You can build an incredible company while simultaneously building an identity around being the person who cannot fail. You can become a CEO while secretly wondering whether you are good enough. You can have millions in the bank and still be afraid that everything could disappear tomorrow. You can become very powerful externally while feeling insecure internally.This is where Omar believes plant medicine can become a powerful catalyst. It can help people step outside the usual patterns through which they perceive themselves and their lives. Not because the medicine magically fixes anything, but because it can create an experience where you are able to see yourself, your story and your patterns from a different perspective.The biggest barrier is ourselvesOne of the themes that came up repeatedly in our conversation was control.Leaders are often rewarded for being in control. Control the strategy. Control the numbers. Control the team. Control the outcome. Control the risk.But what happens when control becomes the way we navigate our entire life?Omar shared a simple metaphor that stayed with me. Imagine holding a handful of sand. If you squeeze it as hard as you can because you are trying to control it, the sand will escape through your fingers. But if you hold it gently, it can remain in your hand.The same can happen with life. Sometimes, the harder we try to control an outcome, the more resistance we create around it.And this is particularly interesting for high achievers because the very qualities that helped them succeed can eventually become the things that limit them. Discipline can become rigidity. Ambition can become exhaustion. Focus can become obsession. Self-reliance can become isolation. Confidence can become an inability to receive help. And control can become an inability to surrender.But going beyond the mind does not mean becoming passive. This was an important point in our conversation.Being in flow is not about doing nothing and waiting for the universe to solve your problems. It is not about abandoning ambition or responsibility. It is about removing some of the unnecessary weight that we carry while pursuing what matters to us.The backpack we carry up the mountainOmar gave another metaphor that I loved. Imagine that you are climbing a mountain. You are determined to reach the top, but you are carrying a huge backpack filled with everything you have accumulated throughout your life: past relationships, childhood wounds, fears, limiting beliefs, negative thought loops, expectations and identities.You can still climb the mountain. But it is going to be much harder.Plant medicine, in his experience, can sometimes help people look inside that backpack and ask: Do I still need to carry all of this?Maybe the goal is not to stop climbing. Maybe the goal is to climb without carrying what no longer belongs to you.This is where I see a very interesting connection with leadership. Many leaders are not lacking ambition. They are not lacking intelligence. They are not lacking discipline. They are carrying too much.And sometimes the next level of performance does not come from adding another strategy, another course, another productivity system or another goal. It comes from releasing what is consuming the energy that could otherwise be available for creation.What are you afraid will happen if you change?There is also a deeper fear that comes up when we talk about this work: who will I be if I change?I have heard this question many times in my coaching practice. What if I don't want to run my company anymore? What if I stop wanting the promotion? What if I don't care about the money anymore? What if I want to build something completely different? What if I become a different person?For many leaders, their ambition has become deeply connected to their identity.The fear is not necessarily of failing. The fear is of discovering that the thing they have been chasing for the last 10, 15 or 20 years is no longer what they actually want.And that can be terrifying.Because if you have built your entire identity around being successful, what happens when your definition of success changes?This is where I believe the work becomes much deeper than performance coaching. It becomes a question of identity.Who are you underneath the achievement?Who are you when nobody is watching? Who are you without the title? Who are you without the company? Who are you without the recognition? Who are you when you no longer need to prove anything?Plant medicine can sometimes open the door to these questions very quickly. But the questions themselves are available to all of us, with or without medicine.Why now?Another question we explored was why this conversation is becoming so present now.For me, there is something happening collectively. We have never been more connected digitally, and yet many people have never felt more disconnected from themselves, from nature and from each other.We are constantly stimulated, consuming information, looking at screens. Receiving notifications, messages and opinions. And our ability to simply be present is becoming increasingly difficult.For leaders, this is amplified. They are making decisions in an environment of constant uncertainty, rapid technological change, AI, economic pressure and competition. The old model was already intense. The speed of the new world is even faster.And perhaps the answer is not to make humans operate even faster. Perhaps it is to develop another form of intelligence: one that is not only analytical, but that also includes the body, intuition, emotional intelligence, presence, discernment and connection.This is where I see the bridge between conscious leadership and plant medicine becoming particularly interesting.Beyond the mind does not mean against the mindOne thing I want to be very clear about is that I don't see this work as mind versus body.The mind is extraordinary. We need strategy. We need logic. We need analysis. We need science. We need critical thinking.But we are not only our minds.And when the mind has reached its limit, sometimes adding more information is not the answer. Sometimes the answer is to create enough space to access another form of knowing.This is why I have become increasingly interested in what happens beyond the mind. Some of the deepest shifts in my own life did not happen because I finally understood something intellectually. They happened because I felt something.I felt it in my body. I felt it in my heart. And once something is felt deeply enough, behaviour can begin to change in a way that intellectual understanding alone could not create.Plant medicine is a catalyst, not the whole journeyOne of the most important points I took from our conversation is that the ceremony itself is not the transformation.It can be the catalyst. It can open a door. It can show you something. It can help you see a pattern from a completely different perspective.But then comes the real work: integration.What do you do with what you have seen? How do you change your relationships? How do you lead your company differently? How do you change your habits? How do you communicate differently with your team? How do you make decisions? How do you live?This is where the work becomes practical.And this is also why I believe that plant medicine should never be approached casually or as a shortcut. There are risks, there are contraindications, and the context matters enormously. The preparation, the facilitator, the setting, the lineage and the integration all matter.There is a big difference between consuming a substance and entering into a properly held process of self-inquiry.As Omar said during our conversation, we don't “use” the medicine. We work with it.That distinction matters to me.A reflection for leadersSo if you are a leader listening to this and you are curious about plant medicine, I would start with a different question than “Should I do it?”I would start with: What am I still carrying that is preventing me from becoming who I know I can be?* Where am I operating from fear? * Where am I trying to control something that cannot be controlled? Where am I performing? Where do I need external validation? * What part of my identity am I afraid to lose?* Who could I become if I no longer needed to prove that I am enough?Plant medicine may be one path into those questions. It is not the only one. But for me, it has been a powerful doorway into a dimension of myself that I could not access through the mind alone.And this is the work I am increasingly bringing into my leadership practice: helping leaders go beyond performance, beyond the identity they have built, and beyond the limitations of the mind, so they can reconnect with their own wisdom, purpose and aliveness.Because the future of leadership may not need humans who can simply think faster. It may need humans who can feel deeper, see wider, and lead from a more conscious place.I am dreaming to see a world where more leaders operate from that place.Beyond The Mind: The Science of Plant MedicinesWatch The Masterclass ReplayThanks for reading Rise and Play!

Please join us as we discuss: Ayahuasca – what is it? DMT – the connection molecule safety as a key component of Rythmia turning on the SIGMAR1 gene dosages and individual guest needs after-care therapy clearing up autoimmune the Shaman component of the ceremonies and so much more! Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! I am your host, Teri Wellbrock. You can listen in on Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Amazon Music, and more, or directly on my website at www.teriwellbrock.com/podcasts/. You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Dr. Jeff McNairy For over 30 years, Dr. Jeff McNairy watched people try to heal, and witnessed the system continue to fail them. As a clinician working with the most vulnerable populations facing addiction, acute mental health issues, and trauma, he saw the same pattern repeat: Western medicine manages symptoms, but it doesn’t touch the root. He came to understand that real healing can only come from within. ‍That conviction is what brought him to Rythmia, and has kept him here since the doors opened in 2016. ‍As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff holds a Psy.D. and M.P.H. and oversees the medical integrity of the Rythmia Way Program. He has now guided more than 23,697 alumni through their week, and his expert guidance helps support guests in getting their miracle and having their personal breakthrough. ‍When you’re here, Dr. Jeff's medical guidance and expertise will be with you throughout the week, and so you can surrender fully, and trust that you're in the safest possible care.

Você nos ajuda demais não só quando ouve, mas também quando espalha episódios para familiares, amigos - e, por que não?, inimigos. A segunda mensagem é: existe uma outra forma de apoiar o Naruhodo, a ciência e o pensamento científico - apoiando financeiramente o nosso projeto de podcast semanal independente, que só descansa no recesso do fim de ano. Manter o Naruhodo tem custos e despesas: servidores, domínio, pesquisa, produção, edição, atendimento, tempo... Enfim, muitas coisas para cobrir - e, algumas delas, em dólar. A gente sabe que nem todo mundo pode apoiar financeiramente. E tá tudo bem. Tente mandar um episódio para alguém que você conhece e acha que vai gostar. A gente sabe que alguns podem, mas não mensalmente. E tá tudo bem também. Você pode apoiar quando puder e cancelar quando quiser.  O apoio mínimo é de 15 reais e pode ser feito pela plataforma ORELO ou pela plataforma APOIA-SE. Para quem está fora do Brasil, temos até a plataforma PATREON. É isso, gente. Estamos enfrentando um momento importante e você pode ajudar a combater o negacionismo e manter a chama da ciência acesa. Então, fica aqui o nosso convite: apóie o Naruhodo como puder. bit.ly/naruhodo-no-orelo

Chris Winters can tell you the truth about all of them.Electroculture has become a buzzword on Instagram, but almost everything circulating about it misses the actual mechanism. The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee.Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.What he found broke the story that most organic farmers accept as fact. Bigger yields. Longer harvest windows. Pest pressure dropping by 85%. His farm is now fully transitioning to research mode because the production side has started to feel almost too easy.We also get into radionics, weather modification, why Japanese beetles use their wings as an inner ear, and why he thinks the real fertility crisis is a power supply problem, in the soil and in us.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[9:24] Your energetic connection to heaven and earth, and what fourth phase water reveals about Hadza hydration[31:31] How Chris's Nashville and Jamaica upbringing shaped his faith, and the beach hostage ordeal that followed[1:02:06] USDA organic labels don't matter, and the mistake of farming built on blood sacrifice[1:23:57] What electroculture actually is, and why the Instagram version gets it wrong[1:46:50] Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz symbolically means cutting off divine intelligence[2:03:45] How the antenna systems collect cations 15 feet up to power soil fertility[2:39:37] Why Japanese beetles vanish from low-voltage fields, and how bugs only attack already-weakened plants[3:05:14] How radionic field broadcasters power weather modification and Chris's training as a blind dowser[3:26:14] Medical Qigong, and why Chris pivoted his farm from vegetables to researchRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | PodcastPolarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner | PodcastThe Lies Modern Science Told Us About  Alchemy, Consciousness, & Quantum with Dr. Steven A.
