Fruiting Bodies

Rebecca Martinez: Fruiting Bodies Co-Founder


Listen Later

The second installment of our podcast launch is here! We've switched roles and put Rebecca in the hot seat.

Come get to know our beloved creative director and co-founder, Rebecca Martinez. Rebecca is an Oregon born and raised parent, author, farmer, and community organizer. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Rebecca's origins as a rebellious youth in a strict religious environment and her memoir, Edge Play: Tales From a Quarter Life Crisis (Available now in paperback and audiobook). 
  • The ways her experiences with family, police, and psychedelic healing shaped her advocacy around drug policy reform. 
  • Rebecca shares her vision for Fruiting Bodies. She explains why she believes embracing shadow is so important and how the healing movement can sometimes become bypassing.

  • ”Having grown up as someone who was seen as rebellious and sneaky... I now recognize these are strengths as much as liabilities. If you are someone who wants to wants think outside of norms, structures and likes breaking rules, that creates a ton of opportunity for innovation. If that's steered in a way that's productive and helpful... rule breakers have shaped the world. Question everything. It's not just to tear things down, but to find the "YES." How are we going to find solutions unless we start asking better questions? To ask better questions, we have to think outside of structures constantly. It's an exercise of imagination. It's a creative discipline as much as it is about fighting the power.” -Rebecca
