How Ayahuasca Inspires Bold Creativity with Storyteller and Plant Medicine Guide Cam Leids

Christopher J. Miller Season 5 Episode 177

Cam Leids shares how ayahuasca and mushrooms helped him move beyond patterns, open to Spirit, and let creativity flow through.

What happens when we step beyond our patterns and allow Spirit to flow through us? In this episode of The Spiritual Artist Podcast, CJ Miller sits down with storyteller and guide Cam Leids, host of the Being Human and Shit podcast. Living in Peru, Cam works with plant medicines such as ayahuasca and magic mushrooms to help people deepen their self-awareness, release fear, and reconnect with their higher selves.

Cam shares, “When I can do anything to get past that fear, it allows me to open myself up. Creativity is not even coming from me—it’s allowing Spirit to move through me onto the stage or canvas. It’s about opening the channel to God, to Spirit. All humans are creators at our core.”

Together, CJ and Cam explore:

  • How intention shapes every experience with plant medicine.
  • Why psychedelics can open space to witness our thoughts, dissolve ego patterns, and heal stuck emotions.
  • The connection between creativity, presence, and Spirit—whether through art, meditation, or natural medicines.
  • Cam’s journey from a high-paying career to finding fulfillment in guiding others through awakening and inner healing.
  • The role of love, humor, and even comedy in rediscovering what it means to be fully human.

Cam reminds us that these experiences don’t teach us something new—they help us remember who we truly are.
