On this episode we talk about human design and my newly learned integration of being a manifestor type. We dip into anger again, a recurring theme for me. We also share thoughts on what it means to be made in the likeness of god, the dance of being human, and how letting go of things brings learning. Come on in.

Robin Kidder returns to the podcast. Robin is a medicine guide serving as a divine mirror and pattern worker awakening people to the truth of their power. Today we set off on a special 2 part journey together. In this episode we prepare for a medicine journey with a plant commonly referred to as Father. We share where we are leading up to this work as well as what being a healer means to us. We discuss the divine masculine, our relationship to it and the healing that can happen by holding and owning your sexual energy. At the end we set intentions for our journey. Come on in.

Today we take on death. My guest is Iván Chocrón, a plant medicine facilitator, public speaker, and educator. Iván and I talk about fear of death and how it influences our beliefs, and how death like experiences on psychedelics changed his views on death and spirituality. We wonder if fear of death is actually a result of a fear of life. He also gives us a closer look at what a shaman is and we discuss the possibility of holding everything as true.

Iván has ten years of plant medicine facilitation, and always had a strong pull toward bridging the worlds of healing and spirituality with science and psychology. Lately, he has been stepping away from holding retreats and more focused on educating people around the importance of doing healing work, with or without plants. He has started a YouTube channel and has been featured in many podcasts and conferences.
