Kat also offers beautiful reflections on nature as a teacher of fluidity and diversity, and why the medicine often invites us to become more fully, audaciously ourselves.In this episode, we explore:How ayahuasca first came into Kat’s life more than 20 years agoWhat it means to be called into relationship with plant spiritsWhy queer and trans people need safer, more affirming medicine spacesNature as a reflection of queerness, fluidity, and authenticityThe healing power of being loved exactly as we areEgo death, death, rebirth, and unity consciousnessWhy bigger doses are not always betterSovereignty, sensitivity, and self-trust in medicine spacesIntegration as embodimentHow to let ceremony, grief, breakups, and life experiences actually change the way we liveLearn more about Kat and her work:Plant Medicine People: www.plantmedicinepeople.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantmedicinepeople/Connect with Wil:Learn about the retreat in Costa Rica- https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/awakened-hearts-nyeWebsite: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilfish99/Support the show
