  • 2.27: Dr Kim Hutchison
    Oct 17 2024

    TW: Suicide


    In today's episode we dive into the fascinating world of altered states of consciousness with Dr Kim Hutchison, a neurologist and sleep doctor whose personal journey has led to a deep exploration of plant medicine and its potential to heal and transform. Kim's curiosity about mental frameworks, universal energy, and the boundaries of the self has brought her to uncover how plant medicine can break down barriers, elevate consciousness, and create new channels for healing and growth. We'll also discuss the role of plant medicine in addressing polypharmacy and the mental health challenges facing society, and how these experiences can shape a more interconnected collective consciousness.
