In her inaugural Mormons on Mushrooms episode as a host, Stephanie Brinkerhoff is joined by Otto Maier to take a deep dive into Individuation, a term coined by Carl Jung, the founder of modern depth psychology, to describe the process of transformation where one turns towards the unconscious to discover and bring to light their unique individual nature.

Otto is a certified and practicing Psychedelic Integration guide, Individuation Coach, and Psychedelic educator with FIVE education, Writer, Poet, and human being.

His personal spiritual path led him from a mental health crisis to spending months studying meditation at Ashrams in northern India, experiencing master plant dietas with Shipibo maestros in the Amazon, studying psychedelic integration, Jungian psychology, Dream work, Curanderismo, and working as a facilitator for multiple Ayahuasca retreat centers in the US and Peru.

In helping others ground and embody transformational experiences he implements the foundations of IFS therapy, Jungian and Archetypal psychology, Somatic awareness, Indigenous philosophy.

The main focus of his work is assisting individuals in bridging the gap between their plant medicine/spiritual experiences and what they live in everyday life. He believes that if we can open ourselves to the poetry and aesthetic sensibility of nature, our relationships, and the soul that is orchestrating the dance of these elements, that life can be as simply profound as these fleeting transcendent spiritual experiences. That healing is not an event, but a process, and is available to all who have eyes to see, and ears to listen to the healing calling us from within.
