Send us a textGreat criminal defense is like delivering clients excellent results while balanced on a pinnacle thousands of feet above the ground below. For that reason, Fairfax criminal / Virginia DUI attorney Jon Katz has invited Zen priest and former New York City emergency room physician Wendy Lau, M.D., who went from computer technology to medical school, and, after burnout, to the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe. Effective criminal defense lawyers in so many ways are like emergency room physicians, single-mindedly reaching out to their patients as verbal bows and arrows can be flying -- or seem to be flying -- from all directions. Wendy has experienced having one patient die, only to still have a roster of other patients to help in the very next moment. She repeatedly takes on the treacherous journey to provide highly needed free healthcare to people in remote areas of Nepal. A recent documentary on that Nomads Clinic work -- Into the Heart of the Mountain -- is available here. Wendy teaches the practice of G.R.A.C.E.- Gathering attention, Recalling intention, Attuning to self and others, Considering what will serve, Engaging and ending.  Physicians and everyone else will benefit from Wendy's Inner Practice of Medicine book. Wendy welcomes donations to the Upaya Zen scholarship fund bearing her name. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Ladies! Please join our Be Bold Facebook Group! Today’s conversation is with Angel Murdock. I met Angel at a dinner party while I was in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival. I learned a little about her while we were all just having light conversation around the dinner table. Angel’s a Nurse-Midwife, Women’s Health Adventurer and the Co-director of the Nomads Women’s Clinic. She’s also a rock climber, a wife and a mother of four. I was really intrigued by Angel and most specifically the trip she recently took to Nepal. It didn’t take me long to realize she was someone I really wanted to chat with. She was such a great sport within a couple of days we were sitting down together to record this. Angel was part of a team of people who trekked through the Dolpo region of Nepal late last year to provide medical care to people in very remote villages. She was able to bring her skills as a midwife to the program called Nomads Clinic and basically provide services to women who had never had access to it before. Specifically, this organization provided menstruation kits to women who previously had to deal with their monthly cycle in unimaginable ways. At least unimaginable to me. In addition to that, they also provided very basic services and medications to pregnant women. Life saving services to really remote areas in the Himalayas. Not only is Angel, who totally lives up to her name by the way, not only is she part of this amazing program but she’s married with four kids. So here she is spending a month away from home trekking with basic services herself, at altitude, putting her medical skills to work. And it’s not like she set out to make this a way of life. She kinda stumbled into it but it resonated with her to such a degree that she had to follow her call to do this. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this conversation with Angel (with a guest appearance by Lexi the Dog).

In this edition of the Psychedelic Parenting Podcast, Jonathan sits down with Dr. Katherine MacLean, PhD. Katherine is formerly of the Johns Hopkins University's Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU), the home of the well-known Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Studies, where she held space for healthy individuals while under the influence of synthetic psilocybin.  While at Hopkins, Katherine was the lead author on the paper "Mystical Experiences Occasioned by the Hallucinogen Psilocybin Lead to Increases in the Personality Domain of Openness", and was instrumental in creating the currently ongoing study looking at the effects of psilocybin on people with a long-term mediation practice. She is currently, with her husband, John, living and working at Happy Acres Farm in Sherman, CT, raising free-range chickens, grass-fed cattle, and a milk-fed infant. Katherine is also currently involved in a project building psychedelic community and support in New York City called the Psychedelic Education and Continuing Care Program with Ingmar Gorman at New York's New School. During our conversation, Katherine discusses her path to motherhood, though her medicine work, Buddhist meditation, and the loss of her sister from cancer. She discusses the question of whether we should let our infants "learn to self-soothe," or should we commit ourselves to holding space for them 100% in their early years. She discusses how motherhood is a contract to being open to sacrifice and suffering. Katherine and Jonathan also discuss the ways that our culture of "Protestant work ethic" contributes to disconnection from the self, how it minimizes the importance of being with, and caring for, ourselves and our loved ones in the moments of birth, death, and pain. They also re-imagine a new form of work that gives birth to future labs, offices, and kitchens where career and home life will be harmonized and balanced.
