Amanita Dreamer shares her profound journey from a life of debilitating trauma, mental health issues, anxiety, and benzodiazepine withdrawal to discovering the healing powers of Amanita Muscaria mushroom.

She discusses its effects on the body and mind, explaining how it balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems via GABA and glutamate, and the importance of understanding its use in both spiritual and scientific contexts.

We explore the significance of trance states, sunlight, drumming, fires, and cultural rituals, as well as the personal transformation that comes from embracing natural medicines and the need for education and personal exploration in the realm of psychedelics, such as psilocybin and Amanita.
