Embodied Plant Medicine & Ancestral Heartbeats - Sean Padraig O'Donoghue

Please listen to Our Complex Humanity Cannot Be Cancelled first.

Our ancestors were in constant biochemical conversation with the world, and so are we. Plants are a gateway into the depths of our consciousness, emotions, and physical experience of being alive. Let us come back into relationship with the information available in each interaction with the natural world.

TOPICS:

  • The archetype of the witch in the hut at the edge of the village

  • Neurodivergence, tryptamine, sensory gating channels, and pattern recognition

  • What is the purpose of the human being?

  • Finding one's path after a confused and lost childhood

  • Psilocybin and the conversation happening between everything

  • Knowing what you're saying yes to

  • When an herb changes your embodied experience of the world

  • The illusory distinction between plant, animal, and human consciousness

  • Finding what's ours to do in a world with so much suffering

  • The power of drop doses to create somatic shifts

  • Creating coherence in the complex, fluid, multivalent signalling system within the body

  • Plant compounds that mirror our neurotransmitters and hormones

  • Ancestral names, places, music, language, and stories

  • Hawthorn myth and medicine
