47. Integration of Peak Experiences: Round Table Discussion
Welcome to a very special episode of The Path podcast! Today is unique because I have not one, but four guests joining us. You might recognize them, as they've all been past guests on the show. We've got Johnny Suarez, Tyler Le Floch, Drew Vercellino, and Justin Brien here, sharing their life experiences and wisdom. Right after our invigorating monthly men's workout, I gathered everyone in my home for a roundtable discussion. We were recently together at the Men of Movement retreat, which inspired our topic: integration. After profound experiences like plant medicine or deep transformative work, the challenge lies in stabilizing those changes when we return to familiar environments.
