245. Animism, Relationship with Nature, and Psychedelics


Listen Later

Are you feeling called to psychedelics? This is your official invitation to a psychedelic magic mushroom retreat with me in Mexico from Sep 10-16. Get all the details ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ and sign up for a free discovery call!

My personal experiences with psychedelics have brought me so much healing and expansion! I've reversed my PTSD diagnosis, released shame and my inner critic, ignited my Intuition, and stepped into my power to create a life I LIKE. I share all those details in ep 242.



Throughout most of human history, human beings believed in animism, and it doesn’t contradict religion (or, it doesn’t have to.)

Animism is the belief that everything in Nature is alive and has a spirit or consciousness—not just humans and animals, but also trees, rivers, rocks, mountains, and even weather systems.

It’s one of the oldest belief systems in the world and is found in many Indigenous and earth-based traditions.

Animism teaches that the world is made up of relationships - that we’re in constant dialogue with the more-than-human world, and that everything is interconnected and deserving of respect.


Animism invites us to…

  • listen to and talk to Nature

  • treat Nature as kin, not a resource

  • live in reciprocity, to give to Nature as well as receive


Animism and relationship with Nature are always available to ALL of us.


When we add psychedelics to the mix, especially ones derived from plants and fungi, our perception of how alive and relational Nature is becomes amplified.

In a 2019 study published in Journal of Psychopharmacology, participants who took psilocybin (magic mushrooms) reported a 58% increase in their sense of connectedness to nature, and this feeling persisted even two weeks after the experience (Lyons & Carhart-Harris, 2019.)

And this study was actually done in a clinical/medical setting, not even in Nature.


Whether you're interested in psychedelics or not, this episode will help you deepen your connection to Nature, perfect timing to celebrate Earth Day!


EARTH MAGIC WOMEN’S CIRCLE

On Earth Day - Tuesday 4/22 at 6 PM EST - we’re having an Earth Magic Celebration on Zoom inside the Wild Wellness Women’s Circle.


We’ll be talking about:

  • myths and creation stories about the Earth being personal and relational

  • practical and magical ways to be more connected with Nature - to receive physical and mental health benefits and also to receive messages from your Intuition

  • how to see Nature as a mirror for what’s happening in our inner world through its cycles of growth and rest

  • some plant medicines and herbs that everyone can start working with, and I’ll even pull a plant medicine oracle card personally for YOU!


When you join the Wild Wellness Women’s Circle

  • You’ll automatically be emailed the Zoom link for this event, plus all upcoming events.

  • You’ll also get immediate access to all past live event records, all the self-paced resources, and our daily group chat.
