Time to Grow | Angela Pferdt

In today’s episode of The Future is How, it's all about growth, from plants to the inner self. And we have a more than special guest: Angela Pferdt. Coming from a background in finance, today she is a Healing Artist, a Reiki master, a Master Gardener, and she is Frederik's wife, in Frederik's words: one of his greatest teachers. Frederik and Angela spent decades together, building a home and raising three children. “Home is where I grow”, says Angela. This time The Future is How comes straight from Angela's and Frederik's home in the Santa Cruz Mountains, an exchange of experiences, thoughts, callings, insights, and more than that: their future, like a walk together we all can listen to.

Today, we talk about:
• The power of Reiki and how it helps to become more present

• Plant based medicine and how psychedelics can help opening up and finding love and answers inside
• Long standing myths on psychedelics
• How gardening and personal growth are deeply interconnected

• Finding patience and presence
