Ep10 - Sarah Hope: A Healing Journey from Plant Medicine to Shamanism to Personal Myth
from Love, Loss & Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker · host Scott Schumaker
In this wholly unique and wise episode, I talk with Sarah Hope, a psychedelic coach & earth-based healer. Through personal stories and profound insights, Sarah shares how her early fascination with mysticism and healing led her to embrace plant medicine and become a micro-dosing pioneer and shamanic guide. We also delve in the classic hero’s journey and contrast that with the heroine’s journey, and how both can be beneficial for women and men. And we discuss the transformative nature of grief—did you know it can be like a pineapple?—the power of storytelling and personal myth, the vital roles shamans and curanderos play across diverse cultures, and more. Tune in to explore this incredible intersection of spirituality, healing, and the power of nature. (This plant medicine content herein is for educational and harm-reduction purposes.
