Ep. 282 The Sacred Wisdom of Anger, Parasites & Tantra with Katie Silcox

The Sacred Wisdom of Anger, Parasites & Tantra with Katie Silcox

In this powerful episode of Buddhist Biohacker, I sit down with my dear friend and teacher Katie Silcox—founder of The Shakti School, Ayurvedic practitioner, and author of Healthy, Happy, Sexy and Glow-Worthy.

Together, we explore the spiritual wisdom of taboo emotions, the sacred role of anger, and how parasites and mold can be teachers on the healing path. We also talk about why the guru era is over and what’s next.

With raw honesty, ancient insight, and plenty of laughter, Katie and I share Ayurvedic and Tantric practices to help you reconnect with your emotions, release stored pain, and deepen your spiritual practice.
