Episode Webpage: https://www.psychedsoul.com/podcast/shamanism-mysticism-and-ayahuasca-wisdom-with-dr-richard-grossman  

This intimate conversation between Shiri and her friend and teacher, Dr. Richard Grossman, explores the journey from suffering to healing, beginning with Richard’s own experience overcoming trauma and evolving into his role as a devoted healer and facilitator of psychedelic ceremony. 

Their discussion explores the importance of forgiveness, the concept of God and the ‘problem of evil’, and the power of letting go of past traumas for personal and collective peace. 

Shiri and Richard also shine a light on the all-too-common error of acting too quickly post-psychedelic insights and the significance of patience, discernment and humility as key to the integration process.
