The books, websites, and blogs listed below are some favorites that have resonated with me over the course of my health and spiritual journey.  

“Consider the possibility that within your suffering, you are being given an invitation to let go, to wake up from the dream of normality, to embrace life in all its brokenness and wonder. To fall in love with where you are. To come out of the story of past and future and turn toward the present moment, the place where you stand.” – Jeff Foster


Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Trauma Resources

There is some fascinating research and data to support the benefits of natural plant medicines used therapeutically, including Psilocybin and Cannibas. Proposition 122 was passed in Colorado, which allows for personal use of Psilocybin, while the use of Cannibas in Colorado is legal. Many mainstream sources and podcasters have featured episodes (and articles) that provide great resources and education around the preparation, integration, safety profile(s), what to look for in a guide/therapist, etc. I’ve listed some resources below that may be helpful as you research and navigate this up and coming space for therapy, transformation and growth.  Note that Colorado has enacted specific legislation regarding natural medicines used under NMHA and the possession, sale, manufacture, and culitvation of natural medicines is illegal under federal law.
