James Eshleman I serve as a Psychedelic Guide, Transformational Coach, Public Speaker, Community Builder, and Psychedelic Policy Advocate. Early on in my professional career, I was working in finance and struggling with depression, alcohol abuse, and lacked real purpose in life. On January 31, 2017, while sitting at my desk, in a moment marked by fate, I stood up and quit my career on the spot. Four days later I participated in my first plant medicine ceremony and a new chapter in my life began. I went on to become an apprentice, assisting in hundreds of plant medicine ceremonies that served thousands of individuals where I learned the art of guiding. As a guide in my own practice, I have worked with hundreds of individuals in 1-1 plant medicine ceremonies since 2019. Recently, I served on the State of Colorado’s Natural Medicine Advisory Board’s various Subcommittees helping to establish the nation’s second legal psychedelic therapy licensure model and facilitator training curriculum. I’ve participated in many initiations and rites of passage, leading myself and other men and women through major transformational experiences. Woven together, the depth of my experience as a guide serves each and every client with whom I work. My passion and purpose in life are defined by my will to live and love as a free being, awake and alive to all that life has to offer. While inspiring others to do the same.
