This episode is jam packed with wisdom from the incredible Beana Bern who holds many roles, but today we primarily focus on her role as a guide for those journeying with psilocybin. Beana has many decades of experience with altered states of consciousness, both in her personal path and with holding space for others.

We talk about how "all roads lead to the heart" when you open the gate of self-development and/or spirituality. And how this spirilic journey often accompanies a peeling of many layers of our identities to distill more of who we are. I also share a little about my history of being intimidated by plant medicine to offer reassurance for those who feel fear around the subject. Beana also expounds on this reassurance by offering grounded and practical advice for those who are considering collaborating with mushrooms via macro or micro- dosing.
