In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, host Les Raymond sits down with Dr. Richard Grossman, founder of Heart Feather and a healer with over four decades of experience in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and natural health. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Grossman has also immersed himself in Amazonian shamanism, leading transformative plant medicine ceremonies and guiding others on their path to healing. He is the author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, which shares his personal journey and the powerful insights he’s gained through deep spiritual work.

Dr. Grossman opens up about how a childhood fascination with medicinal plants eventually led him to the healing worlds of ayahuasca and San Pedro. He shares how early trauma shaped his life, how plant medicine helped him access layers of emotional healing, and why trust and forgiveness are essential ingredients in the path to wholeness. This rich conversation explores the intersection of traditional healing, spirituality, and emotional freedom.
