Tricia Eastman harnesses the “Mount Everest of Psychedelics” to break addictive cycles and promote collective healing. In the last episode of Season 1, we’re joined by initiated medicine woman Tricia Eastman, whose nonprofit Ancestral Heart works towards the reciprocity and preservation of ancestral and indigenous traditions. Tricia vividly recounts her early experiences with psychedelics, where she experienced both the transformative power and potential pitfalls of substances like MDMA and psilocybin. She shares how her experiences with these medicines facilitated deep insights into her own traumas and ancestral wounds, allowing her to release deeply held shame around her body and sexuality, and ultimately leading her to reevaluate and rechart her life’s path. Finally, she discusses her 10 year-long journey working with iboga, often hailed as the “Mount Everest of psychedelics”, and how she’s seen it help thousands detox from opiates and other addictive substances. Throughout the conversation, Tricia emphasizes the importance of holistic integration and responsible engagement with plant medicine, while also addressing the complexities of psychedelic legalization and the imperative of cultural respect and reciprocity.
