In this episode, I talk with Beth, a 57-year-old woman from Portland, Oregon, with 3 kids, who, up until her mushroom trip at Epic Healing in Eugene, Oregon, had never done a single illegal drug. Not one, which seems to be more common than I’d once thought for people seeking out psychedelic-assisted therapy. There is something to it that draws in a person like Beth, someone seeking to feel better and be a better version of themselves. Something they haven’t been able to achieve with conventional therapeutic methods. Beth goes through some profound changes because of her time spent at Epic, including career changes, interpersonal relationship changes, and life outlook changes. There is a dragon involved, a golden idol, and a mystical web that runs through all of us, connecting us, despite our differences, together.
