Psychedelics and breathwork may seem like very different paths to healing, but what if the breath alone could unlock the same powerful states of awareness?

In this episode, Dr. Julie Lopez speaks with Mark Worster, a psychiatric nurse, entrepreneur, and trauma survivor, about how deep breathwork can be a psychedelic experience without substances. Together, they explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, shadow work, and how accessing the subconscious through the body can lead to profound healing and joy.

If you’ve ever been curious about meditation, breathwork, holotropic breathwork, psychedelics, or wondered how to go beyond symptom relief to real transformation through non-chemical methods, this conversation is for you.
