In this powerful episode of The Connected Community, host Nicky Yazbeck is joined by Devon Kerns,visionary leader, entrepreneur, and plant medicine facilitator, to explore psychedelics, integration, and authentic self-discovery. With over 100 psychedelic experiences, more than 100,000 minutes of meditation, and having supported over 100 people through their integration journeys in the past year alone, Devon brings a wealth of lived experience to the conversation.

 

Together, they explore the sacred role of plant medicine in lifting the veil on who we truly are, the symbolic messages of animal allies like the owl, and how allowing ourselves to feel leads to grace and transformation. Devon shares personal stories from his journeys with ayahuasca and other psychedelics, emphasizing the importance of intention, integration, and embracing both shadow and light as part of the healing process.

 

In addition to his deep spiritual and healing work, Devon has spent 25 years in business development, founding companies across industries like investment, wellness, and education. He has worked with political leaders, Fortune 500 executives, and nonprofit boards, and currently leads initiatives in sustainable development, remote living, and land conservation.
