Episode notes
Preparing For A Native Mushrooms Ceremony
- Will attended a Native-led womkish ceremony where participants gathered cedar, sage, rocks, and built an open-air ceremonial tent.
- He accepted a very large mushroom dose handed to him and washed it down with juice before the ceremony began.
Confronting Grief Around The Fire
- During the ceremony Will felt overwhelming sensations, anchored himself by staring at the fire, and encountered messages from friends who died.
- The spirits told him they were fine and urged him to let go and live his life as a father and man.
A Simple Command Became A Practice
- A recurring, simple lesson in the ceremony was to 'just love everyone,' which Will internalized as a daily cue.
- That lesson now helps him check blind rage and choose compassion in small situations like road incidents.
