Have you ever wondered about the therapeutic use of psychedelic plant medicines? I had SO many questions like, "what happens during the 'journey' ?", "does anyone ever see anything scary?", "is this safe?", "who should consider a psychedelic journey?"  This week I have the honor of asking all of these things and so much more in this mind expanding, heart opening conversation with Expert Psychedelic Guide Brenna Gebauer. 

About our guest, Brenna Gebauer
Founder of Journey Into Psychedelics
Co-Founder of EPIC: Ethical Psychedelics International Community

Brenna is a Southern California based Transformational Coach and Psychedelic Guide with a degree in psychology. Prior to this she spent decades building the ideal career based on society's standards. It left the external boxes checked, but her  soul felt empty. 

Psychedelics found her when she needed them most. It was through a 5 year personal journey, developing a relationship with multiple tools to become more aligned with herself, that she surrendered to the path unfolding for her. 

After a 10 day silent meditation retreat she followed her inner wisdom to support making psychedelics available for more to utilize for healing and growth. As I result, she have witnessed countless individuals change the course of their life through facilitating experiences so they can become more authentic and loving versions of themselves. 

Her work is centered around creating a sacred container for the soul nourished by compassion and love. Her focus is on tapping into inner wisdom and cultivating self love as a means of supporting healing and creating deep connection. 

Outside of 1 on 1 facilitation, Brenna is a co-founder of EPIC (Ethical Psychedelics International Communities) as well as work alongside leaders in the field in developing a code of ethics for Psychedelic Assisted Therapists in the above ground space.
