It's our first interview on the podcast!
I sat down with someone who has spent years at the intersection of conventional medicine and psychedelic healing, and the conversation that unfolded was so layered.
Dan Shapiro is a Physician Assistant with a deep personal and professional relationship with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain — and with the sacred mushrooms that helped him find his way through. 
He is a wealth of knowledge, and more than that, he is real. This episode does not shy away from the hard questions. We cover:
What anxiety and depression are really telling us
Dan's personal journey with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain
How psilocybin works in both micro and macro doses
Medications and mushrooms — the interaction, the risks, the real conversation around pharmaceuticals
Weaning off meds safely and thoughtfully
Healing the nervous system, not just the symptoms
Why consciousness lives in the body
We talk about what we actually mean when we call something anxiety or depression, and why understanding the nervous system changes everything. Dan shares his own story, his lived experience behind the clinical knowledge, and what working with psilocybin (both in small and large doses) has meant for him personally and professionally.
And then we go somewhere most people are afraid to go: medications. If you are on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication and you are curious about mushrooms, this episode is for you. Dan speaks with care and clarity about how these medications interact with psilocybin, whether combining them is dangerous, and how some people approach weaning off medications that are no longer serving them.
We also spend time talking about the body and nervous system, because that is where consciousness actually lives! Dan talks about the physical experience of working with mushrooms, what healing actually feels like from the inside, and why the body is not just along for the ride.
This episode is a real treat, I hope you savor it.

Amanita Muscaria has a reputation. Most of it is wrong.
In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood mushrooms out there, and giving you the complete guide I wish had existed when I first started working with this seriously magical mushroom.
We're covering it all:
How Amanita actually works — it's not a classic psychedelic, it doesn't touch serotonin, and understanding its unique mechanism changes everything about how you approach it
The real benefits — from chronic pain relief and addiction support to nervous system regulation, anxiety, sleeplessness, and dream work
How to dose — from microdose to macrodose, what to expect at each level, and how to find what's right for your body
How to integrate — because what comes up with Amanita deserves time, 
How to approach this medicine with reverence — the mindset and container that make all the difference, integration tips
No fluff, no fear, just everything you need to know to microdose a liquid Amanita Sacrament confidently, safely, and intentionally.
Whether you've been circling this mushroom for years or you're hearing about it for the first time, this episode meets you where you are.

Welcome to Breathwork Church.
The first Sunday of every month, the ministry gathers together. And this month, I'm uploading it into a podcast episode!
This is the full recording of our June session, it's a Solstice service built around one of the most ancient relationships we have: our relationship with the sun.
In this episode, we explore what it means to become light as medicine as a spiritual practice.
In the sermon, we cover:
Why our fear of the sun has cost us, and how to reclaim this relationship
The body as a light-receiving instrument: receptor sites, hormone regulation, mood, and the circadian rhythm reset that morning sunlight provides
Sun gazing, sun codes, and light as spiritual transmission
The solar masculine across world traditions; the sun as God, Source, Universe
Then we drop in.
A 25-minute breathwork session where you'll identify a place in your body asking for light (physical, emotional, or energetic) and breathe it in. 
Come as you are.
Breathwork Church meets the first Sunday of every month via Zoom. Join us for the next 6 months and receive reminders for each gathering:

You've heard the stories. You believe the science. You've listened to the podcasts. You've joined the communities. You've spent hours researching protocols, doses, strains, schedules, and success stories!
And yet... you still haven't started.
If that's you, this episode is for you.
Today we're exploring one of the most common barriers to beginning a microdosing practice: fear. 
Not because you're weak, uncommitted, or doing it wrong, but because your nervous system is designed to keep you safe.
In this episode, I share why so many people get stuck in the cycle of endless learning, planning, and preparation without ever taking the first step. 
We'll explore how overthinking and resistance a form of protection, what your nervous system may be trying to accomplish, and how to gently move through it without pressuring yourself.
You'll learn why starting imperfectly is often more powerful than waiting for the perfect moment and I'll even share some gentle ways to build trust with yourself as you begin your microdosing journey
If you've been standing at the edge, wondering whether you're ready, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on what may be holding you back and how to move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.
Your path begins with a single drop!

Which one of these are you missing? 
In this episode, I share the two ways I believe microdosing sacred mushrooms can support your healing and transformation.
The first is learning how to live your microdosing practice in real life: bringing awareness into your body throughout the day, noticing your system, taking breaths, making small adjustments, and allowing the medicine to support you moment by moment.
I even give a practical example of how I did this recently when in a conversation with someone!
The second is creating intentional space to go deeper through ceremony, ritual, embodiment, and inner work. This is where we slow down, listen inward, and allow the sacrament to guide deeper healing and connection.
I do this in my life, and I guide others to do it. It's my favorite way to work with the Sacrament, and its beautiful the healing it promotes! 
I share how this second approach is woven into my Journey to Heal Membership, where I guide members through embodied healing practices, ceremonies, breathwork, and ways to work intentionally with the mushroom sacrament for transformation and nervous system healing.
