Episode Webpage: https://www.psychedsoul.com/podcast/waking-up-through-psychedelics-with-shiri-godasi

“Waking up” on a New Orleans hotel room floor? Shiri never imagined it would be like that. Prior to that moment, even the word “consciousness” had never registered with her. Listen in to learn about the changes, challenges and miracles of walking through life as a newly-conscious being. 

In this episode Shiri shares the personal and unabridged story of her spiritual awakening and how it was keyholed by one of her favorite psychedelic substances. It is also the must-know first response to the question she gets asked most: how did she become a psychedelic integration coach and create a psychedelic-service lifestyle?

We are privileged to experience first-hand the mysteries of awakening and the extraordinary potential for healing and growth we have available to us through plant medicines and synthetic mind-expanding substances. This is an intimate “journal-entry” of spiritual self-discovery, shedding light on the transformative power of psychedelics and the global evolution of consciousness.
