Being present with ourselves is an act of mercy.
What happens when ancient wisdom meets modern struggles? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Spring Washam, a meditation and dharma teacher based in Oakland, California. Spring is a pioneer in integrating mindfulness with indigenous healing practices, and she brings a wealth of experience from her years of studying Buddhist philosophy and meditation under renowned masters.
She’s also the founder of Lotus Vine Journeys, an organization that blends indigenous practices with Buddhist wisdom to offer profound healing experiences.

She discusses the transformative power of mindfulness and the importance of practicing self-compassion. You’ll hear about her unique journey into Buddhism and how it has influenced her approach to healing.
One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation is Spring's exploration of ayahuasca, a powerful entheogenic brew used by indigenous communities in South America. She shares how ayahuasca has helped her and others uncover the roots of their suffering, offering a pathway to profound healing. This episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical advice on how to incorporate these practices into your own life.
