#206 - The Business of being a Psychedelic Leader & Guide with Amanda Schendel

Amanda's goal as a Psychedelic Leader & Guide is to bring warm, loving service to humanity. She serves unique medicine not only to guests, but also facilitators in their growth and development, education and well-being. Her work includes showing people their true nature, where they’ve lost connections, and giving them the tools to continue the daily work outside of the retreat setting. As an advocate of the safe, responsible use of psychedelics, she strongly supports the use of medicine traditions surrounding their ancient healing. Amanda plays many roles; retreat producer, leader, facilitator, joke maker and shaman-in-training.
