Episode #131 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Rob Grover and Gary Logan, the visionary founders of The Journeymen Collective, to explore the transformative and healing potential of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, when used with reverence and intention.
We talk about how these sacred medicines, when facilitated in a safe, professional, and energetically aligned environment, can open the heart, release emotional blocks, and expand consciousness. Rob and Gary share how their immersive retreats guide leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries into deeper connection with their purpose—helping them integrate insights from their journeys into everyday life and leadership.
This conversation explores the importance of integrity and preparation, the power of integration, and how psychedelic experiences can help us step into a more authentic and soul-aligned way of being. It’s a beautiful, grounded look at what happens when science, spirituality, and consciousness meet.
A Note on Psychedelics
Psychedelics such as psilocybin (found in “magic mushrooms”) are natural compounds that can profoundly expand awareness and foster healing when used in intentional, guided settings. Once misunderstood, they’re now being studied for their potential to support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness- helping individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with a greater sense of purpose and unity. When approached with respect, ceremony, and proper facilitation, these experiences can catalyze lasting personal growth and heart-centered transformation.
