In this episode of Sacred Psychedelics, Xochitl has a profound and enlightening conversation with Dr. Tom Garcia, a psychedelic guide and integration coach with over 30 years of experience. Together, they explore the transformative power of sacred plant medicines and psychedelics on individuals, communities, and the Earth.


Dr. Garcia shares his personal journey, which began with a spiritual awakening at age 50, following the death of a close friend. This event led him to discover himself through fire and plant medicine ceremonies. Throughout the episode, Xochitl and Dr. Garcia dive into the significance of fire in ceremonial practices, how to discern between the ego and the higher self, and the importance of creating sacred spaces and rituals.


Dr. Garcia emphasizes the power of daily practices in deepening one's connection to Spirit and offers practical steps for beginners to engage in fire ceremonies and altars. This episode serves as a valuable resource for those exploring the healing power of sacred plant medicines and seeking guidance on creating intentional sacred rituals.
