Yes, at 68 I’ve decided to get my first tattoo. I wanted to share this with you because it isn’t just about body art; it’s a declaration that age is no barrier to new experiences (but you knew that 😉
At any rate, I’m excited to tell you about it and why I decided to do it – as well as an invitation to join me in breaking free of any constraints that you might be wrestling with.
Over the past decade, my emotions work has been centered on curating environments where immersive experiences flourish – all within the comforting bounds of trust and safety.
Whether it’s online courses, personal sessions or retreats, it’s vital to create spaces where people interested in the use of psychedelic plant medicine for healing and spiritual transformation can feel at ease.
I often get letters from folks sharing their experiences and asking questions. This correspondence can offer spectacular insights and musings that answer questions that many others have on their mind. So I’m sharing this one with you today…
