In my early twenties I embarked on an experience that was well beyond Terrance McKenna's 'heroic dose' of psilocybin mushrooms with the intention of knowing my true nature. The genie was let out of the bottle (my spirit left my body) and went back to where it had come from, which made the journey back unbearable, and being stuffed back into my vessel (body) was horrific. Since then I have discovered that the true nature of spirit is always and ever present in the moment, never diminishing, constantly aware of itself. The need to ingest consciousness altering substances has become a distant memory. 

The levels of uncertainty and anxiety across our planet since 2020 have made those of us who are sensitive look to create stronger boundaries, and look to hold the light in this age of transition as we cycle through the Yugas. I rediscovered my reverence for the intelligence of plant medicines in 2020 as they appeared in my life once again. I began to build relationships with two forms of medicine, my ingestions being mild, my integrations enormous. In this podcast I share how this journey brought me to deeper connection to nature and a feeling of stability when the world was chaotic.
