Welcome to a VERY special episode of the podcast… this week I interviewed my first ever GUEST, Spring Washam. Spring is one of my beloved Buddhist teachers, but also a real pioneer in terms of offering entheogens, along with the Buddhist spiritual path. And she’s been an inspiration for me in many ways.
In this interview, Spring and I talked all about what she’s learned about plant medicine and altered state experiences in the jungles of South America and how that’s translated to her work here in the United States. We also talked about where all that fits into her own Buddhist beliefs and how she faces opposing views from other Buddhist practitioners.
In this special Episode, we jammed on:// How we both began working with plant medicine & ayahuasca
// Why we find exploring the medicine’s place in Indigenous culture so important to its uses in Western society
// Why there’s an absence of integration and post-journey support in our industrialized, western society
// The importance of ceremony and community in our healing journey
// Whether altered-state experiences ACTUALLY go against the teachings of Buddhism (and if that even matters)
// Our advice for those who are considering plant medicine on the spiritual path
// Death and the possibility of rebirth, and the implications in journey work

In this week’s Episode we jam on a daily practice we can do to decrease unnecessary suffering - which is what this podcast is all about! It’s completely natural that things end - relationships, careers, objects we adore, and more. Yet we have so much resistance when things do come to an end, often feeling like it wasn’t supposed to happen. We’ll talk about the concept of “little deaths” that we experience in everyday life, plus the difference between when an ending is more easily accepted vs when we have more resistance.
We also dive into how our modern industrialized consumerist society encourages resistance to endings, and how to counter that. Plus I’ll tell you the one thing we should spend more time thinking about to help accept the little endings for a life of more freedom.
You will learn:// How our modern industrialized consumerist society feeds into our resistance to endings
// How treating “little deaths” / endings with more respect and sacredness can lead to less unnecessary suffering and more joy + freedom
// Why we feel the need to control our endings and how to let go of that feeling
// The one thing we should spend more time thinking about to help accept the little endings (hint: it’s not what you’d think!)

This week we talk about why we feel obligated to finish everything we start - even if we’re miserable in it. Careers, relationships, even small things like movies and a bad meal.

In this episode, we talk about our (very) human need to have healing move quickly… and how any person who has suffered and made a lot of progress can tell you that it takes patience and time. We’ll talk about how to hold realistic expectations for any “quick-fix” approaches you may try and the dangers of a quick-fix mindset. I’ll also give you some great ways we can all work to cultivate that necessary patience!
You will learn:// Why it’s important to not give up hope if our old patterns recur
// The dangers of a quick-fix mindset (they’re sneakier than you think)
// Common misunderstandings about the speed at which psychedelic-assisted therapy and other therapeutic approaches can work
// Why advanced methods of therapy or psychedelic substances alone won’t make the difference
// How integration needs to happen beyond a few online sessions of group sharing
// Why true lasting progress requires time and patience (and often, the help of a skilled professional or wise mentor)
// How to cultivate patience on the path

In this week’s episode, we talk about the culture of BIG manifestation, and how it can turn toxic. We’ll look at the importance of finding and accepting our own “enough” and how to sit in the moment and be present with the preciousness of life, exactly as it is right now. Plus, I’ll reveal an essential step to taking effective, healing action in these times - for ourselves AND our more-than-human world (hint - it’s not hustling or burning out on activism).
You will learn:// How the culture of BIG manifestation can turn toxic
// How to find and accept your “enough”
// Why sitting in the moment can be WAY harder than daydreaming about what if…
// The concept of wishlessness and how it can help us be present with the preciousness of life exactly as it is
// How we can balance our goals and dreams… and what happens when we don’t
// The key to taking effective, healing action - for ourselves AND our society

First, know that this episode is for people of all ages, because we are all elders to someone (there are always people younger than us!) and we are constantly having opportunities for growth in our spiritual maturity throughout our entire life.
The concepts I introduce in this episode help shape how we age and the choices we make at all stages of life. Too often we believe that as we age, we should try to look, feel, and act as young as possible. But the truth is, that’s not the freaking point.
We discuss a world where elders are seen as wisdom keepers, guides, and mentors for the community. Where they possess a deep knowledge and understanding that is invaluable to younger generations.
This won’t just happen. We need to see this as our role to our people, and make our life decisions from that place. Instead of just sitting around and saving money to retire and travel, we can make our spiritual growth and maturity more intentional.
We’ll jam on how we can continue to challenge the idea that aging is a period of decline, and talk about a few of the elders that I personally look up to and respect.
You will learn:// Why thinking of true elderhood and spiritual maturity matters at ALL ages
// How we often view elderhood vs what’s possible
// Why taking responsibility for our spiritual maturity is crucial for playing an essential role in our communities
// Why modern industrialized society doesn’t hold reverence or wisdom the possibilities in aging
// Some examples of elders I deeply respect and look up to and the lessons they taught me
// How we can continue to challenge the idea that aging is a period of decline
// How spiritual maturity allows us to make our spiritual growth intentional AND still leaves plenty of room for fun and relaxation

This week is a very special episode to help us continue to reduce the unnecessary suffering in our own lives - and in the lives of those we love. We’re going to talk about something we all find difficult in our relationships: the radical acceptance of other people’s shit. I’m going to share my own personal struggles with this and give you some ways that you can learn to accept how others act in a way that will bring you more compassion, love, and alignment.
You will learn:// Why our loved ones often end up doing something that hurts us over and over (hint: it’s not because they’re being cruel)
// Why we often get so upset and activated when dealing with the unreliability of others
// How to deal with the disappointment of others that doesn’t create more suffering - for us or them
