Sitting with the master minerals with Sena Maria
<p>Sena Maria at one point trusted doctors more than herself. It was a major upgrade for her to come to the realization that she did not need to outsource authority over her body. She knew she could heal herself, starting at the level of story and belief, instead of looking for cures through pharmaceuticals. This lead her into the medicine path, and she began to sit in ceremony with master teachers such as cacao, psilocybin and ayahuasca. And while these plant and fungi spirits did offer major life lessons, in addition to a new community, as time wore on, she realized that the medicine community was disassociating from cyclical living. Her own body was becoming more depleted, rather than restored, by working only in the spirit realm. </p><p>And so she was grounded back to earth, quite literally, by meeting the spirits of the minerals. She now understands her body as healthy when she is a complete electromagnetic circuit, producing energy and eliminating toxins. </p><p>Now she supports women to embrace a nourished, resilient and radiantly healthy state as a Mineral Nutritional Balancing Practitioner. She focuses on rebuilding our mineral heritage and removing toxins to get to the root of our health issues. Learn more at her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sena-maria.com/">website</a> or follow her on IG sena__maria. </p><p>What’s new with Jo and Mary Lou</p><p>Jo is hosting a six-month course in dreamwork, <a target="_blank" href="https://jocelynteal.substack.com/p/dreaming-a-new-world">Dreaming a New World</a>. Each month, we dive deeper into a conscious dreaming practice.

Siobhan Asgharzadeh, the Grief Pilgrim
<p>Siobhan Azgharzadeh joins us on this week’s podcast for a walk with grief. </p><p>When she was in her early 30s, Siobhan’s best friend died suddenly. Siobhan followed her beloved friend into the underworld, fully consumed by grief. A month into her grief, she woke up one day unable to see. Doctors looked at her double vision and headaches, her loss of motor function in her legs, and brain scans showing lesions and concluded she had Multiple Sclerosis. Siobhan had trouble accepting this diagnosis, as to her, it seemed obvious that her symptoms were an expression of her almost unendurable loss. </p><p>Steroids and immunosuppressant drugs could neither cure nor heal Siobhan, and so she undertook a healing journey guided by myths and stories. She learned to walk with her grief and MS as teachers and companions. Now she walks this sacred path with other pilgrims, as an elder.</p><p>More information about Siobhan can be found at <a target="_blank" href="https://griefpilgrim.com/online-pilgrimages">Grief Pilgrim</a>. She has multiple offerings coming up soon, including a year-long mentorship program culminating in a pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago. A grief retreat working with story is open to all in July and will feature land sojourns and kintsugi, among other medicine. In August she hosts a retreat for mothers who have lost their children. You can also work with her in an upcoming group container or one-on-one to find a place for your grief to belong. </p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Freedom Is Not the Absence of Pain
<p>On today’s episode, we talk to Laura Delano, mother, writer, and peer-to-peer psychiatric support advocate. Laura was like many teenage girls, crushed under the pressure of perfectionism. She was diagnosed at fourteen with depression and prescribed psych meds, even though she knew in her heart that her rage, pain, and grief were logical, natural reactions to the society in which she was contorting herself to fit.</p><p>So began decades of psychiatrization, learning to identify her mental landscape as broken, ill, and disordered. Psychiatry became a gateway to medicalization in other ways, and she developed an autoimmunity, low libido and other conditions. She was chemically castrated with birth control for many years, with no understanding that this could actually worsen depression symptoms.</p><p>In this episode, Laura takes us through her journey and brings the research of many scholars that she learned along the way. She debunks the serotonin theory of depression, and lays out the truth of how depression and its treatments are marketing terms for the pharmaceutical industry. In a special bonus episode, we will be talking about tapering. We’ll make this bonus episode available free to all for a very limited time, and only on Substack, as it will get censored on other platforms.</p><p>Laura is the founder and Executive Director of Inner Compass Initiative (ICI), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people make more informed choices about today’s mental health industry, and about taking and coming off psychiatric drugs. </p><p>Separately, Laura consults with individuals and families looking for information, guidance and support during the medication withdrawal process. She has spoken and led workshops in Europe and across North and South America and is at work on a memoir about her experiences called UNSHRUNK, which will be published in the US, UK,and Commonwealth countries later this year.
