In this episode I sit down with Christopher Solomon, a somatic salvia guide based in Mendocino County, California, to explore a plant that most people either know nothing about or fear outright. Christopher walks me through his long, winding path with Salvia divinorum — from a strange first encounter in high school in Dallas to the spontaneous healing of a swollen lymph node that doctors wanted to surgically remove. We dig into why the conventional "smoke a big bowl and brace yourself" advice gets it completely backward, and how working with tiny, titrated doses paired with meditation transforms Salvia into a gentle, relational teacher rather than a terrifying five-minute ride. It's a conversation about reverence, somatic awareness, and the surprising therapeutic range of one of the most misunderstood plants out there.

I sat down with LeRoy Gordon — a man who grew up in Cabrini Green, became a police officer, toured as a pro wrestler, and has now found his calling as a yoga instructor, Reiki healer, and men's group leader. We trace his remarkable journey from childhood trauma and survival mode to deep healing work through Landmark, plant medicine, men's groups, and radical honesty in relationships.
