Welcome back to another episode of Minds on Mushroom! Today, we sit down with Karin Calde, a licensed psilocybin facilitator from Portland, Oregon as she shares her personal journey into the world of psychedelics.
Beginning with her first guided psilocybin experience during a challenging period of her life, Karin reflects on how the experience helped her rediscover a sense of spiritual connection and self-love. She also discusses the differences between psilocybin and MDMA, noting how each substance contributed to her healing process and deepened her therapy work, especially with Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Karin, a former therapist, realized she needed to undergo her own deep healing before she could truly help others. With an insatiable drive for love and personal growth, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery through psychedelics and alternative therapies. These experiences transformed her, leaving her in a much stronger position to guide and support others on their own healing paths.
If you’re curious about how psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA can help with emotional healing, self-discovery, or relationship challenges, don’t miss this enlightening episode with Karin Calde.
