In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tricia Eastman, a traditional Mestiza medicine practitioner, Bwiti initiate, and author of Seeding Consciousness. With over a decade of experience working with plant medicines like ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, Tricia brings rare insight into the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern psychedelic healing.
We dive deep into the significance of indigenous-led biocultural preservation, how plant medicine can reconnect us with our spiritual roots, and what it really means to walk a path of initiation. Tricia shares her powerful story of healing from an eating disorder, and how her own encounters with sacred medicines led her to a life of global service — from facilitating retreats with special operations veterans to founding the nonprofit Ancestral Heart.
Tricia breaks down the distinct energetic profiles of different plant medicines and why not all journeys are created equal. We talk about ego dissolution, integration, and the dangers of approaching psychedelics without respect for the traditions they come from. Plus, she offers crucial insight into the risks of spiritual bypassing and why some seekers get stuck in the “spiritual shopping mall.”
Whether you’re curious about iboga, exploring sacred sexuality, or seeking deeper purpose, Tricia brings the kind of grounded wisdom and integrity this space desperately needs. Her words are a reminder that the real ceremony begins after the journey ends — and that true transformation requires humility, intention, and devotion.
This one’s for the seekers, the wounded healers, and anyone on the path of soul reclamation.
