In this episode, Xochitl engages in a heartfelt conversation with Mikaela de la Myco, a mushroom educator and community ceremony facilitator. Our conversation delves into the profound impact of sacred plant medicines and psychedelics on personal, community, and earth transformations. Mikaela shares her journey from growing up with a folk herbalist mother in Italy to becoming a ceremony facilitator. We discuss the intersection of entheogens with womb work, ancestral practices, and the integration of sacred medicines in addressing personal traumas, specifically sexual trauma. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of women and mothers in leading the psychedelic movement, nurturing communities, and reclaiming ancestral wisdom. We also discuss Mikaela’s program, EcoSensual, aimed at healing intimate violence through plant medicine. A heartfelt conversation that ties in the significance of pleasure, sensuality, and bodily wisdom in healing practices, all while paying homage to ancient traditions and future generations.
