    • Matt’s first psychedelic experience and reconnecting with his mother
    • Western psychological medicine as a bandaid approach versus working to find the root cause

    • How we all have psychedelic usage within our lineage

    “With these medicines, we have the real ability to heal ourselves. It’s not that the medicines did it, it’s that we rewrote our own stories. We are the medicine when we use psychedelics and entheogens. They don’t bring back people we’ve lost, they don’t change the past, they bring it close where we can look at it, discover it, understand it, and decide how to make more of our present. That’s why psychedelics are catalysts and not cures.” –Matt Zeemon

    “This took me so long to understand in my practice: that what I think about what’s happening doesn’t matter. Actually, what’s happening doesn’t even matter. All that matters is do we know it? Can we be with it without being hard on ourselves, shaming ourselves, blaming somebody else? All that matters is our quality of attention to it.” –Trudy Goodman
