I’m a huge fan of Soma and Psillygirls! She graces the podcast with her brilliant presence. Topics include the deliciousness of air, magical thinking, the balance of dreaming/wishing while having two feet on the ground in this reality.

Soma appears in the documentary A Table of Our Own, which you can catch at the Grand Lake Theater this Wednesday, Sept 13 2023 at 7PM! Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-table-of-our-own-fundraiser-tickets-679867601297?aff=oddtdtcreator

This is a fundraising viewing for the film, which premiered to a standing room only crowd at Psychedelic Science this past June. If you attend the fundraiser in Oakland, you will not only have the chance to witness the impactful documentary first hand, but also contribute to the ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the potential benefits of plant medicine and the connection Black people have to it.

In this episode, Soma shares about letting our strengths lead us and working holistically, from the root to the fruit. We discuss colonization and this larger cultural turning point we find ourselves in - recognizing that water, air, and the climate are incredibly precious and are in danger for everyone.

We gush over our love for the plants and the mushrooms (all of them, but specifically tulsi, cordyceps and cannabis), and Soma imparts some wisdom from her experience cultivating medicine. We talk about having reverence and being in intentional relationship with the plants and mushrooms we work with, paying mind to patterns of “using” them that can lower our frequency and make us stagnant. The conversation wraps up with a nudge for all of us to “remember your why.”
