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.
