I have a very interesting guest that has agreed to grace the podcast and share with us quirky folks. His name is Brother Dev and he's out on the west coast near Oakland, Ca. He wears many hats, but the one he resonates with the strongest is a Psychedelic Integration Coach. He is also a Shamanic Practitioner who specializes in: Clairvoyant Healing and Psychic Energy Healing. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. So much so, that there will be two parts to this episode.

We delve into Spirituality, releasing the labels, sharing our sensitivities and understanding the world through each other's experiences.
