We dig deep into the benefits of plant medicine from all angles: unlocking more creativity, removing ego, deepening connection to self and others and "the source", mind fitness and overall wellbeing. Also how this ancient medicine is being harnesses to help people overcome addiction and trauma. So much to cover, so we have broken this conversion over several episodes.
