Dreaming the Ancestors
An intimate journey of remembering and reclaiming ancestral stories, feminine wisdom, and earth magic. Throughout the series, I talk with guests from Ireland & the British Isles about ancestral dreaming and remembering as a pathway back to reverent ways of living in the modern world. Through stories, teachings, and personal sharing we’ll discover the greater possibility of who we can be in this time of planetary change.

Decolonizing Psychedelic Plant Medicines ~ Dr. Diana Quinn
In this incredibly deep, informative episode I speak with Dr. Diana Quinn about Psychedelic Plant Medicines. We are currently living in what's often called the "Psychedelic Renaissance". Science is beginning to catch up with Indigenous wisdom of Sacred Plant Medicines and their ability to heal and restore balance through expanded states of consciousness.
Unfortunately, amidst this great upswell of interest, capitalism and colonialism have found their way into this sacred and ancient tradition. The intention for this conversation is to offer education and awareness around Sacred Plant Medicines to promote deep care and respect.
In this conversation Diana shares wisdom about the basics of Psychedelic Plant Medicines (what they are and the kind of wisdom they carry), the multi-layered benefits of Plant Medicine Ceremonies, the importance of pre-ceremony preparation, post-ceremony integration work and community care, and ways of being in right relationship with Sacred Plant Medicine. Diana also talks about the intersection of Sacred Plant Medicine with racial justice, healing systems of oppression, and intergenerational healing.
