    Plant wisdom flows through this conversation with Stephanie and Katharina, as both hold space in the sacred and are mystics who’ve been initiated with plant spirit medicine for many decades.

    In this conversation we touch on:

    🍃 Why entheogenic plants differ from synthetic forms of psychedelic medicines

    🍃 Why master plants are not always the answer when we are called to our edge

    🍃 The initiations plants offer and how to hold the before, during and after for true integration

    🍃 The power of ‘weeds’

    🍃 Bypassing the work with one ceremony won’t do it

    🍃 How plants are the most holistic guides to accompany our transformation

    🍃 Shamanic plant medicine and intention

    🍃 Creating the right containers to meet our edges, before, during and after

    🍃 Mainstreaming of psychedelics

    🍃 Consciousness and vessels for the Divine

    🍃 The detox, initiation, and letting go of control

    🍃 The master guides of trust

    🍃 The power of place and wisdom of Spirit

    🍃 The great surrender to self

    🍃 Why local is always best and why we need to be mindful of scaling the sacred

    🍃 The power of true presence



    About Katharina Mohr de Yaycate:

    The soul of a mystic, the gift of a seer and the mind of a free spirit, led by a heart wide open for the love and joy of truly living.

    A Forest Journey with John Perlin

    A Forest Journey with John Perlin

    This episode with John Perlin explores the value, importance and role of trees in civilization from time immemorial. For our nature lovers out there, this one is interesting, rich and informative.

    ABOUT JOHN:

    John Perlin began his career at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2002 tasked by Nobel Laureate Dr. Walter Kohn to develop a colloquium on global warming for the university’s science departments. The following year John was hired by the physics department at UCSB to collaborate with Dr. Kohn and fellow Nobel Laureate Dr. Alan Heeger on the film, The Power of the Sun: The History of the Evolution of the Science of Light and Photovoltaics- https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.2216954. The film inspired the University of California, Santa Barbara to embrace the solarization of the campus in which John oversaw the placement of photovoltaics on several of its structures. He led a symposium at UCSB on May 17, 2018 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHc5Ike2GIA) introducing the scientific work of Eunice Foote, the women who in 1856 discovered that carbon dioxide is the principal cause of Global Warming and that more of that gas in the atmosphere would lead to a hotter Earth. He was also the lead curator of an exhibit for the University of California, Santa Barbara based on the symposium which opened on October 28, 2019. 

    John currently is a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara. John is the author of four highly acclaimed books on solar energy and forestry: A Golden Thread: 2500 Years of Solar Architecture and Technology; A Forest Journey: The Role of Trees in the Fate of Civilization; From Space to Earth: The Story of Solar Electricity; and Let It Shine: The 6000 Year Story of Solar Energy - Harvard University Press has chosen A Forest Journey as one of “One Hundred Books for Every Bookshelf” ever published by the press which includes such scientific luminaries as Stephen Jay Gould and E.O. Wilson. He has also finished a manuscript on the scientific and feminist work of Eunice Foote and is currently searching for a publisher.

    ABOUT TOBY:

    Toby Pomeroy, Founder, Executive Director, Mercury Free Mining
    A designer-goldsmith for over 50 years, Toby became passionate about responsible gold mining after encountering Earthworks’ “No Dirty Gold” campaign in 2004. Since then, Toby has been dedicated to cultivating industry-wide support for a socially and environmentally responsible gold supply chain and a purpose-driven jewelry industry. He founded Mercury Free Mining (MFM) in 2017, a nonprofit organization committed to the discovery and deployment of mercury-free processes for the health of 20 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners and the environment upon which we all depend.

    MFM is fostering and implementing safe, efficient, mercury-free gold mining methods, and focusing on establishing a certified mercury-free gold supply chain to match industry demand. With a mission to eradicate the use of mercury in gold mining, MFM stands for the jewelry industry’s interdependence and solidarity with artisanal and small-scale gold miners around the world.

StephCharlotte ,

Very needed TRUTH revealing conversations

What is aired on her podcast is not only highly informative, it is what we need to live in a world where Love, equality, freedom and justice are the foundation of this New Earth rising.

I am so very grateful for Stephanie and her Catalyst talks. She is a fierce protectress of Gaia, Medicine Woman and Connector to outstanding interviewees with whom she brings us much needed conversations to the current state of affairs. She is a Truth speaker and seeker and I am deeply inspired by the work she offers around the Globe.
