In this heartfelt and deeply candid episode, host Nadia Hrynkiw sits down with fellow traveler on the medicine path, Eric Jorgensen. Eric shares his fascinating and unique background as a father of six, a professional computer programmer, a practicing Mormon, and a developing shamanic practitioner.

Together, they dive into a profound conversation about dismantling the boundaries between worlds that seem entirely separate on the surface. Eric breaks down how his autism diagnosis and logical coding background actually parallel his connection to the spiritual realm. He also opens up about his journey through a seven-month medicine mentorship program, addressing deeply human challenges—including balancing his spiritual awakening with the heartbreaking reality of supporting his wife through stage four colon cancer.

Tune in to explore what it truly means to integrate the masculine and feminine archetypes and discover the ultimate shamanic skill: recognizing the divine in every everyday moment.
