When we look at the process of bringing psychedelics into society, whether that be through retreats, whether that be through the medical framework, really the path of stewardship is understanding in each step you take how that is impacting the greater whole.
Tricia Eastman, an author, speaker, and medicine woman, joins Amanda Siebert on 'Root Medicine' to share her extensive knowledge and personal journey with iboga, a powerful psychedelic derived from the West African shrub. Eastman, who founded Ancestral Heart and Psychedelic Journeys, delves into her deep connection with this potent medicine and the rich traditions of the Bwiti community.
She recounts how iboga helped her overcome a lifelong struggle with eating disorders, offering listeners a glimpse into the transformative power of this ancient remedy. Eastman’s experience spans nearly a decade of working with iboga, including training under two different Bwiti traditions. She sheds light on the spiritual technology of iboga and the ritualistic practices of the Bwiti people, contrasting these with clinical ibogaine treatments.
Her stories emphasize the importance of responsible stewardship in the psychedelic movement, urging us to honor and respect traditional practices and medicines. Listeners will find themselves immersed in discussions about the cost of losing touch with ritual and the necessity of integrating these profound experiences into daily life. Eastman’s insights are a call to action for conscious and respectful engagement with psychedelic substances.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practices.
