As you may know, I just got back from volunteering as a guardian at another plant medicine retreat this weekend. This work can be quite intense, so I enjoyed some time to recharge and integrate this week.
For today, I’m sharing an hour-long podcast I recently did with the great team from The Breaking Stereotypes Podcast.
Tune in if you’re curious about any of the topics below:
The fascinating history behind psychedelics
My personal journey & what changed my mind about psychedelics
Common themes in psychedelic journeys
Why there’s no such thing as a bad trip & how to navigate hard ones
Tips for finding the right guide
and much more…
I’ll see you next week.
With love,
Julia

Great talk, Julia! I find your approach responsible, intelligent, and grounded. I agree in essence with everything you said.
I have a concern that greedy Big Pharma will exploit psychedelics. There was an article in the New York Times in May, 2021, about how it’s already a billion dollar industry, including hedge funds. Pharma scientists have tampered with psilocybin molecule so it can be patented and also have a shorter experience so it is more marketable to clinical providers. Yuk!
I also am skeptical about micro-dosing. Daily use is likely to alter brain chemistry in ways that can have unintended consequences.
Psychedelic induced spiritual experiences over 50 years ago continue to have a profoundly positive impact on my life. Keep up the great work, Julia!
I am going to listen to your podcast later. When you talked about helping at a plant med retreat, that sounds so rewarding! I am off you do some breathwork now.
