This week we are featuring a special interview between Alli Schaper & Dr. Christian Gonzalez (originally posted on the Heal Thyself Podcast), talking about all things community, psychedelics and functional mushrooms. This conversation provides a great framework for how we can harness the power of psychedelics to heal our families, ourselves, and the world. Why is community so important? Alli talks about where the criminalization began, as well as why so many states are decriminalizing this substance. We also learn about some interesting history on the beginning of religion that may involve this substance. If you are interested in community, mental health, functional mushrooms and psychedelics for healing, this is the show for you. === 0:00 Intro 1:40 The Role Psychedelics Plays in Collective Healing 7:16 Why Microdosing is So Powerful 11:52 The Multiverse & Supermush: Connecting to the Magic of Mushrooms 18:23 Life Lessons Learned From Mushrooms 27:01 Are Psychedelics a Shortcut to Therapy?  34:47 Addressing the Drawbacks of Psychedelics' Popularity  40:26 Healing My Whole Family Through Psychedelics 44:55 Conclusion === Check Out the Heal Thyself Podcast:  https://www.youtube.com/@UCztQQ--xORWtJCwHmaa_buA  === Step into the Multiverse with us...
