Ep.10 — Exploring Plant Medicine with Bobby Wade

We’ve cracked double digits! Welcome to the 10th episode of the Mindfit Podcast! Do you want to know more about plant medicine? We are joined by our second special guest of the podcast today, Bobby Wade, to talk to us about plant medicine and the important cultures and traditions surrounding most - if not all - of the plant medicines out there today.  We dive DEEP into: • The importance of ritual • Why having a cultural identity often leads to a more fulfilling life • Demystifying the connotation to plant medicine as being another recreational drug • The importance of integrating your journey with plant medicine  All about Bobby: Hailing from Australia originally, Bobby Wade’s journey into the realm of plant medicine began after he grappled with PTSD stemming from his military service in Afghanistan in 2007. In search of healing, he immersed himself in indigenous ceremonies and traditions of the Americas, ultimately leading him to the transformative power of plant medicines. Bobby has dedicated 14 years to the study of plant medicines, learning from and living with indigenous elders and healers from various nations throughout the Americas. In 2014 he co-founded the renowned plant medicine center Eagle Condor Alliance in Colombia with a focus on conservation in the high Andes and Putumayo regions of Colombia, and support for indigenous communities and elders.  He hosts the podcast, titled "The Way of Life" (Available on the Substack platform) focused on sharing the wisdom and knowledge of indigenous elders, and is a founding member and lead integration coach for Heroic Hearts Project Australia, connecting veterans to the healing powers of plant medicine. We invite you to continue this conversation by sharing it, commenting on it and leaving your footprint. We also invite you to get curious.
