8. Shedding Shame & Secrets Thru Shadow Work & Radical Honesty with Psychedelic Educators Tahkole

Often in our healing journey, we are called to examine the depths of our darkness. As today's guests, Tah and Kole Whitty, highlight, our shadow can cause anguish and pain beyond measure if we allow it to remain unfaced. 

The pain from sexual abuse, childhood trauma, or destructive familial relationships can manifest in various addictive lifestyle patterns. As one pursues a short-term connection through sex, drugs, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, a complex web of shame and dis-ease displaces the physical and mental body.

Ceremony Circle is a sacred container for every story, and Tah and Kole's episode comes with a trigger warning. No topic is off the table as we delve into their individual experiences with addiction and profound childhood and sexual trauma.  

This is a rich and rewarding roundtable chat with two powerful individuals who found personal freedom by shedding their secrets to the world, taking back their sovereignty, and curating a life based on uninhibited self-expression, play, and psychedelic and plant-medicine ceremonies. 

The Ceremonial Offering

Music and song are magical tools that Tahkole use to express themselves. Tah treats us to a freestyle rap celebrating his conscious partnership with Kole and gratitude for life.
