Description
The riveting Rebecca Martinez in a conversation about her new book, Whole Medicine! In this episode you will hear about the natural world as central in the conversation about people, plant medicine, ethics and expanded states; Alma Institute; being on both sides of the altar; power, harm and responsibility; normalizing conflict; a wish for this book to educate and empower the psychedelic naive; shrinking the power dynamics between facilitators and journeyers; and a pondering of, how are the medicines doing? Finally, Rebecca reads an excerpt from Whole Medicine for us.
I highly recommend the book! Link to purchase in the show notes.
