In this episode of the Conscious Evolution podcast with Dr. Andrea Pennington, Patty McGee, author and educator, discusses how the beliefs that we hold closely determine the limitations we place on ourselves and how through shifting perspective we can elevate the learning process and develop positive messages for a more fulfilling life. When it comes to living and learning, YOU HAVE CHOICES!  FUN CHOICES!  And choosing the right teacher and with the right attitude makes all the difference in the world. Patty McGee is on a mission to expand our minds about learning and show us how important it is to be willing to do things IMPERFECTLY, with JOY...even if it feels "uncomfortable"!  (Patty also tells us what that "discomfort" actually means.) When we are educated on how best to TEACH someone...we learn that our phrasing in the face of shame or embarrassment can make all the difference in the world to a student and CAN be the determining factor for someone persevering or just giving up. (No matter the age of the student!) Patty has recently completed a film and classes based on her latest book and workshop:  "The Seven Essentials of Writing". Her intention for 2022 is to surround herself with teachers and maintain a nurturing tone to grow and help others do the same. Patty McGee is committed to teaching and learning...and having FUN! Stay tuned till the end to hear what role Dr. Andrea played in Patty's work. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Patty McGee is an author-educator whose passion and vision is to create learning environments where teachers and students discover their true potential and power.  Patty’s favorite moments are when groups of teachers are working with students collaboratively in the classroom.  She has served schools nationally and internationally to support literacy teaching and learning.

In this episode, Valencia Khoza tells Dr. 1Drea about how Ayahuasca actually showed up as an answer to a Google search. Valencia grew up always having a direct spiritual connection to divine energy. But when the desire she felt in her heart to know the true meaning of her existence and her desire to truly know GOD, her traditional Christian church left her seeking more answers.  Valencia explained that she wanted to connect with God beyond reading words in a book. Beyond PRAYER...Beyond MEDITATION... She wanted to know if she could actually TALK TO GOD...and when she typed in a Google search asking that very thing, "Ayahuasca" popped up! She was surprised to find a spiritual community near her who held a variety of safe sacred ceremonies with plant medicine. Valencia was beyond inspired and leaned into the answers that were being offered by 'Mother Aya". And in this video, she shares her experience and revelations! Did she actually have the conversation she was seeking with God? Is the truth really OUT there? ...Or is it WITHIN? Tune in and find out! ABOUT OUR GUEST: Valencia Khoza is a seeker, intuitive channeler, Truth teller who is passionate about helping people awaken to God consciousness.

It's commonly held that when we purge with sacred earth medicines, which can be through tears, sweat, vomit, diarrhea, etc, we let go of many emotions and even limiting beliefs. In this episode of the Conscious Evolution podcast, Charlotte James, co-founder of the Psychedelic Liberation Coalition, shares what she purged, or let go of, in a sacred ceremony with the frog medicine, Kambo. Letting go of shame around her physical body, and embracing her whole self are but two benefits that have given her increased motivation to share these medicines with others. In addition, Charlotte explained the out-of-mind ceremony she had with another frog medicine, bufo, and how she integrated these experiences. Charlotte also shares how her relationship with earth medicines has evolved from social and celebratory to intentional, sacred, and restorative. She expresses her cautionary views on the medical model of psychedelics and points to a future where we can use these medicines for deep healing in the BIPOC community. ABOUT OUR GUEST Charlotte has been a harm reductionist and psychedelic explorer for over 10 years, After leaving harm reduction because of rapid burnout, she returned to this work with new energy - thanks to the power of healing with Sacred Earth Medicines.
