In episode #18 of the SDPC, hosts Ro and J dive into a profound, powerhouse discussion with Sam Gibbs Morris, a leader at the intersection of men’s work, psychedelics, yogic leadership, and spirituality. Themes of shame, trauma, and spontaneous healing rise as Sam relates his challenging journey towards healing and awakening. Through the lens of Sam’s work, the transformative power of breath work and psychedelics in facilitating deep healing and realization is explored. He describes his approach to creating a nurturing space for men to reconnect with their self-worth and cultivate a conscious masculine awareness, in person and supportive men’s group communities. The three delve into philosophical territories, addressing the concept of sovereignty versus domestication, the role of intention in transformative practices, and the integration of masculine and feminine energies within the healing process. This thoroughly powerful discussion highlights the interconnectedness of individual healing journeys with broader spiritual and societal constructs, offering incredible insights and guidance for those on a path to self-discovery and transformation.
