Psychedelic Conversations | Ena Vie - The Integration Institute #151

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast! Episode 151:In this episode, Ena shares her deeply personal journey into plant medicine, beginning from a place of suffering, anxiety, and depression, and how these sacred tools ultimately transformed her life. We explore the critical role of intention, discernment, and trust when working with psychedelics, as well as the importance of ethical guidance and integration. Ena also sheds light on the complexity of different approaches—shamanic, therapeutic, and self-guided—and the challenges surrounding the Westernization of these ancient traditions.
