In this episode we speak about death. Not the first topic you'd expect on our channel, you say? Correct, but we've learned along the way that we can be looking at death and grief as an integral part of life. And there is SO MUCH value in looking at it from all perspectives with someone who knows a great deal about grief and dying - not just in the literal sense, also conceptually, where 'parts' of us die, creating space for growth. And right there is where sacred psychedelic medicines enter the stage.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Ellen is a Shandong-Taiwanese-American entheogenic death + grief companion that walks with people through the death portals of their life transitions. She works holistically across the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies using tools like breathwork, inner child somatic root healing, micro/macrodose journeying, and spiritual altar work.
