In this episode, Natasja Pelgrom and Beth Weinstein discuss …

• Natasja’s attraction to energy work, shamanism, meditation and psychedelics at a young age
• How “Do no harm” should be a central tenet of all psychedelic facilitation work
• The huge responsibility you have as a facilitator to hold sacred the trust you are offered by the people you serve
• Serious issues that can arise when people wanting to work with psychedelics don’t report contraindications and how this can negatively impact them, their facilitator, and the whole psychedelic ecosystem
• The growing problem of people doing short facilitator trainings and immediately jumping into facilitation long before they have the knowledge and experience to do so
• The energetic differences between male and female facilitation styles
• “Cleaning” the system to help prepare people for a bufo experience so their innate healing capacity can be more easily activated
• How the cleaner you are, the more you trust, and the more you trust, the more deeply you can surrender
• Using a smaller “integration dose” after the main dose/s to empower and bring resilience to the psyche and nervous system
• How giving super high doses of medicine can be a sign that a facilitator feels they are “not enough”, which is picked up energetically by the client/s
• The need for facilitators to be able to understand their own programming and hold space without their own issues interfering
