Perhaps the area that is most alive with growth and potential right now is the oft-discussed but rarely understood world of microdosing. Thanks to Michael Pollan’s uber-famous and groundbreaking book, as well as Mushroom Guru Paul Stamets’s work, microdosing Magic Mushrooms / Psilocybin in particular has lit up the world’s curiosity. Do small yet frequent doses of psychedelics and plant medicines really have the same possibility for transformation and healing?

Why yes, they most certainly do, but it’s a wild world. Come along and let’s investigate!

When a trip to hell on Ayahuasca turns into an experience of pure, blissful divinity

Any of us that have had the blessing of working with Ayahuasca are likely no strangers to this experiential contemplation of what dying is really all about. One of her most powerful, sacred teachings centers around understanding what death is, and isn’t. Being in her altered embrace is the perfect training ground for facing a pandemic, and the inevitable transition that awaits us all.

Nothing could have prepared us emotionally and spiritually for the arrival of a virus that threatens not only every life on this planet, but the culture, economy, and lifestyles we have all become accustomed to.

Nothing, except maybe Ayahuasca.

The question I get asked most often by those who are deciding whether or not to take the plunge and try Madre Medicina is this: Will I be better or worse off after I drink Ayahuasca?

The honest answer is it could go either way. But I’ll tell you how to make the most of it no matter what, and why she sometimes needs to make things worse before they get better.

Shamanic work takes a ridiculous amount of commitment, training, understanding, and humility. And no matter how good your intentions are, if you haven’t done the work – and continue that honest self-discovery until the day you die – the people who trust you are at risk.
