Seekers and Finders Podcast
Seekers and Finders Podcast cohosts Gary Falk and Stefan Bright, talk to everyday spiritual seekers. Men and women who are still following a specific path or have left a path and have moved on to other paths, or are following their own inner guide to self discovery. In the early days of the Guru sensation, after the Beatles discovered Maharishi and Ram Das wrote his 1971 book "Be Here Now," there was a small movement to discover the inner truth that these men and women were presenting. The age of the guru-cult, with the likes of the Maharishi and Transcendental Meditation, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the Hari Krishnas and such, opened up doors to self discovery. Our conversations, with those along the Way of the Seeker, hopefully will give new light on the rigorous path to enlightenment. The links below are other ways to join in the conversation.

Tawnya Gilbert - Psilocybin The Return To Wholeness
There are those who arrive at the threshold of healing not as theorists but as survivors — people who have walked through the fire of the system itself and emerged carrying something the system could not provide. Tawnya Gilbert is one of those rare voices. An ICU nurse for nearly two decades, she has stood at the bedside of the most fragile human moments, and yet it was her own fragility — buried beneath a decade of alcohol, ten prescribed medications, and a diagnosis of "stable" that meant only numbness — that ultimately became her greatest teacher.
Her journey did not end with sobriety. It began there. What she discovered on the other side of the pharmaceuticals and the diagnoses was not a cure but a calling: that true healing requires a person to become the director of their own life, not a passive recipient of someone else's protocol. That conviction led her to postgraduate study in psychedelic integration, to the founding of Eleusinia retreat, and to a vision of medicine that places sovereignty back in the hands of the individual.
In this conversation, Tawnya speaks to something that touches all sincere seekers — the moment when the outer structures of healing are exhausted and a deeper inquiry must begin. What does it mean to truly know your own body? What does it mean to stop outsourcing the most intimate dimensions of your life to a system that was never designed to honor them? Her answers are hard-won, and they carry the particular authority of someone who has not merely studied the territory but crossed it.
