106. Natural Psychedelics and the Healing Power of Community

What if the most potent medicine isn’t just the mushroom or the ceremony—but the community that holds you through it? In this soul-stirring conversation, host April Pride continues her dialogue with healer and teacher Satya on the role of natural psychedelics in helping women heal trauma and reconnect with their core selves. From the roots of survival instinct to the chemistry of trust, they explore why healing doesn't happen in isolation—and how community care, spiritual insight, and ethical facilitation are essential to any psychedelic journey. Whether you're new to plant medicine or rethinking your own integration path, this episode grounds the mystical in the everyday and reminds us: the real work happens after the trip.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-Natural psychedelics help dissolve survival-based trauma that keeps women disconnected from themselves and others.

-True healing starts after the retreat. Integration, accountability, and sustained connection are what turn insights into change.

-Community support is non-negotiable. Healing happens in safe, nonjudgmental spaces—not in isolation.

-Facilitator integrity is critical. Training, experience, and humility must precede serving psychedelic medicine.

-We must reframe our cultural obsession with more. Sometimes awe, not intensity, is the deepest form of medicine.
