105. Integrating Science and Spirituality: A New Framework for Psychedelic Healing

What does it mean to truly heal in a psychedelic space? In this episode, host April Pride is joined by Satya—a seasoned facilitator whose work bridges psychotherapy, meditation, and natural psychedelic therapy. Together, they unpack how conscious language, sacred space, and personalized protocols shape transformative outcomes. From working with trauma survivors and cancer patients to designing women-only retreats for deep healing, Satya reveals how integrating science and spirituality can unlock layers of self that pharmaceuticals and talk therapy alone cannot reach. If you’re questioning whether psychedelics are for you—or how to choose between a retreat with or without medicine—this episode helps you explore those decisions through the lens of compassion, integrity, and feminine wisdom.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-Psychedelic healing is not one-size-fits-all—the path begins with your needs, history, and readiness.

-Language shapes experience. Conscious facilitation means guiding, not imposing, especially during altered states.

-Cancer patients, trauma survivors, and military veterans have unique responses and needs in integration work.

-Women’s-only spaces allow for safer, deeper healing, especially for survivors of sexual trauma or body image issues.

-Science and spirituality aren’t opposites—they’re complementary tools for individual and collective healing.
