In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Shannon Conrad. Shannon is a Chinese Medicine practitioner and licensed psilocybin facilitator, working at the intersectionof ancient healing and modern psychedelic therapy. As part of the first wave of licensed psilocybin facilitators in Oregon, she hosts both private and group journeys, offering a deeply intentional and somatically-informed approach to transformation..Through her practices—Spirit Point Medicine and Deep Dive PDX—Shannon blends the wisdom of Classical ChineseMedicine with sacred psilocybin ceremony. Drawing on the Five Element tradition and the cultivation of jing, qi, and shen, she supports clients in understanding and integrating the emotional, physical, and spiritual insights that arise in altered states..Her work emphasizes holistic preparation and embodied integration—nourishing the body, harmonizing the spirit, and aligning inner purpose. Shannon offers a grounded, heart-centered pathway for those seeking meaningful healing and philosophical insight through psychedelic experience..Video Links for Shannon:1) Anderson Cooper, 60 Minutes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-5mpzNuGv02)https://psychedelic.support/network/shannon-conrad-lac/3)https://deepdivepdx.com/4)https://www.spiritpointmedicine.com/contactmap.html5)https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannon-conrad-9ab428..The Philosophemes Podcast.
