We are joined by three of the most magical beings we know to talk all about self love, the wisdom of the body and natural medicine:

Janae Anderton has been immersed in and actively involved in the plant medicine journey for the past 15 years. Along this journey Janae has experienced and integrated teachings from multiple plant teachers, along with several traditions. Learning from Shaman, mystics, priestesses, and healers of all kinds. Through this, Janae has gained her own unique way of healing and serving the community as a plant medicine guardian and integration guide. Guiding individuals back to their hearts and back to their own truth. Recognizing her direct connection to the angelic realm and the divine feminine lead Janae to find her voice and use music to bring this essence to the here and now. As a vocalist for the band Mountain Tribe Janae is honored to share her voice with the frequency and depth that these songs were channeled from. As we share these songs ceremonially or in a mainstream way the vibration they create is a beautiful safe space for all who experience it.

Nicole Devaney is a lover of all things holistic health and is a self proclaimed "How to Healer" with a passion for helping people make big changes easy, fun and palatable (pun intended). Her life is dedicated to a search for deeper meaning and truth of what happiness is and how to inspire others to their fullest potential. She spends her days helping others discover what their personal passions are, the changes they might need to make to create a dream life of their own and how to support their body, mind and spirit in the process. Life has taken Nicole down some awe-inspiring paths. Over 18 years spent in the arena of dance and motherhood she is well versed in the art and mystery of the feminine. Her New Moon Woman's circle is a gathering with over six years running, brought to the Salt Lake community to provide a safe haven for ladies of all walks to come and grow together. With over a decade of training and teaching for the Chek institute she also carries the masculine balance of science in the field of health and wellbeing. Her more recent endeavors include a 250 hour certification in herbalism. By integrating the wisdom of plants to support those who are looking to dive into the world of natural medicine.

Annie King has spent twenty years exploring alignment in the physical body, practicing and teaching neuromuscular therapy and therapeutic yoga. Annie's work in PSI (Psychedelic Somatic Institute) realizes her longtime dream of offering therapeutic plans that integrate safe, legal, and powerful psychedelic medicines into the interactive somatic therapy modalities she has practiced for many years as an advanced craniosacral therapist, including SomatoEmotional Release (SER). PSI combines the deeply resourcing and profoundly calming ability of somatic therapy to reorganize the body's fight-or-flight nervous system with the trust-expanding, ego-disarming effects of purposeful psychedelic work. The focus of Annie's work is primarily directed toward those seeking to expand their consciousness and deepen the relationship with the self and their loved ones. She is available to those seeking to become more present, less fear- driven, and more heart-centered.

Mike and Doug recount the magical weekend of Mormonpalooza, including their first Kambo experience! 


About Kambo:

Indigenous people have used kambo for centuries to heal and cleanse the body by strengthening its natural defenses and warding off bad luck. It was also believed to increase stamina and hunting skills.

These days shamans and naturopathic practitioners still use it for cleansing the body of toxins, as well as treating numerous health conditions.

We are joined by Danya O’Harra to chat about ayahuasca, growing up to fast, healing the land, FLDS, ancestors, opening the Mormon door in to your trauma, Johnny Lingo, the Hummingbird Church and so much more!

About Danya

Born to goodly parents in the California desert, Danya spent most of her childhood collecting animal bones and happily soaking in the scorching sun. When she wasn’t shamefully hiding rated R movies under her mattress, or listening to secretly burned copies of Eminem’s latest album, she could often be found leading her ward’s youth group and dragging herself through early morning seminary. Here to embody the good little missionary she was programmed to be, Danya now advocates for the healing of religious traumas through the use of plant medicines.

To connect with Danya and the organizations she works closely with, please reach out to her via:

Here we go! It has taken over 100 episodes but we finally interview our first active, believing Latter-day Saint. We could not have conjured up a more genuine, loving human than Steve Hunter, a recent LDS Bishop who was featured in the RollingStone article on The Divine Assembly. Years ago, Steve was led to ayahuasca as an active, believing member of the church. 

We talk about so much in this episode, including:

• Steve's Ayahuasca experience
• Difficulty putting transcendent experiences into words
• How psychedelics found us
• The intention you bring into a ceremony determines what you get out of it
• RollingStone article
• Andrew Garfield and Under the Banner of Heaven
• Malcolm X - "When you take on step towards Allah, Allah takes 10 steps towards you"
• Paul Young and The Shack
• Jesus as an attainable example of how we could live
• "God cannot use you unless you are at ZERO"
• "You are the key; you are the thing you seek"
• "You left in search of God, I stayed in search of God"
• And so much more!

Steve's humility, authenticity and courage are inspiring and contagious. We can't wait for you to listen!
