Mike and Doug ignite some of their inner fire this week to discuss letting our "inner assholes" out--setting boundaries, standing up for ourselves, stating our needs, etc. You matter, you deserve to be seen, you deserve to be respected, and you don't have to hide your magic any longer. 

We also discuss:

• Abundance vs. Scarcity mindsets
• Mormons' and Exmormons' resistance to "priestcraft"
• Limiting narratives that keep us stuck in service to institutions (capitalism, religions, etc.)
• Valuing art
• And much more...

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one!

Join Mike, Doug and Shelise as we discuss Sweat Lodges, mushrooms, Day of the Dead, our old long-lost friend, Lucifer, and so much more.

Often it's only through our discomfort where we really learn to find ourselves. What is our discomfort trying to tell us? Are we willing to sit with it and listen, or do we constantly seek to numb out, distract or escape?

We are so excited to be joined by Rebecca and Andrew from Plant Parenthood! We talk about families who are opening up the lines of communication to discuss the use of plants and other alternative healing modalities.

Such an amazing conversation. We think you’ll love Andrew and Rebecca as much as we do!

About Plant Parenthood:

Plant Parenthood is an online and in-person community of parents who use psychedelics, plant medicine and cannabis. We bring people together to learn, integrate and connect. 
Whether you’re using these substances to address trauma, promote personal growth, build a spiritual life or just for fun, Plant Parenthood is a resource for connecting with peers and accessing knowledge from science, anthropology and thousands of years of indigenous wisdom.  Our goal is to de-stigmatize the conversation around psychedelics and parenting.

In this week's special episode, Mike, Doug and Shelise are joined by our Producer Extraordinaire and integration coach, Peter Gulka to discuss many of the tips we would like to have known before embarking on our own psychedelic journeys, including:

• Preparation, mental health and safety (these medicines are not for everyone)
• Alternatives to psychedelics (mediation, mindfulness, holotropic breathwork, etc.)
• Setting intentions
• Finding a guide
• Holding space
• Guiding someone through an unpleasant journey
• Integration

And much more. We hope you enjoy and wish you well on your own journeys!

More about Peter:

After years of struggle with mental health symptoms, Peter was ready to try something different and attended his first psychedelic meetup in 2017. Following his transformative experiences with plant medicine, Peter became involved in the local Calgary psychedelic community helping to facilitate events.

While the deep, inner work was progressing, Peter was inundated with the stresses of everyday life - including COVID-19 in 2020. Eventually, it was his wife who helped him take a leave from work to process and release past trauma.

Peter feels called to work with those seeking to learn from plant medicine - to assist in relieving unnecessary suffering from those with similar experiences to his own. He empowers people to see themselves in new ways and their problems from new perspectives, allowing them to release years of pain, and heal themselves.

Peter is the founder of Waves Peer Coaching.
