Decolonizing Psychedelics & Ancestral Healing with Buki Fadipe (Episode 14)
Buki’s work is inherently focused on investigating how psychedelics can be used as a tool for transformational healing, social reform, personal and collective liberation. Her motivation includes investigating the intersections of spiritual emergence, intergenerational trauma, and transformative justice.
After a tumultuous and traumatic childhood and being forced to grow up early after the loss of her father, Buki felt broken and depressed during her early teens. In need of healing and recovery, but without traditional psychotherapy resources, she was on her own. As she battled suicidality and self-harming, recreational drug use became her way to cope.
After getting through university, her body spoke up and made it clear that her coping mechanism wasn’t sustainable and she abstained from drug use cold turkey. The depression came back and made her withdraw from the world.
Then, taking an intellectual approach to investigating depression she found research about meditation and how psilocybin worked on the brain. Thus, psychedelics came back to Buki, with an invitation to look at them with fresh perspective.
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Buki Fadipe is a Nigerian/British writer, decolonized educator, sacred medicine practitioner, seer and healing catalyst. She founded Adventures in OM (@adventures.in.om) as an educational resource for those seeking expansion, healing and growth with sacred earth medicines. Her work is rooted in spirituality and reclaiming ancient earth/indigenous wisdom to act as a basis for earth based holistic healing.
Buki is a certified Psychedelic Medicine Practitioner and Hatha Yoga instructor. She runs retreats, educational workshops/courses, and facilitates coaching for preparation, harm reduction and integration for those seeking healing on the entheogenic medicine path.

Psychedelic Healing for Men of Color with Victor Cabral (Episode 12)
In this episode of the Conscious Evolution podcast we are gifted with a rare look into the mind of a man of color on a journey to heal himself and his community through sacred medicine.
Before he became a woke therapist, Victor Cabral was a young black man on a LOT of DRUGS. These drugs were legal and they were prescribed by licensed medical doctors.
At one point, a concerned friend suggested to Victor that he should try PSYCHEDELIC PLANT MEDICINE to help acknowledge and heal his lifelong intergenerational trauma. His friend had tried it with success and was eager to share this life changing experience with Victor.
Psychedelics??? Victor JUST SAID NO.
He had a negative "psychedelic drug user stereotype" ingrained in his mind and he was too busy getting educated, earning advanced degrees and certifications along with numerous accomplishments in research and legislation for his BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color) community with a focus on men of color.
Through sacred plant medicine, Victor shares how he found the trajectory he was seeking. In his case, facing his dark emotional shadows as he sat in ceremony was the impetus to "TRANSCENDENCE", the film he is currently producing.
Tune in to learn more about the film and how you can support him.
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Victor is a collaborative and strategic leader who is making an impact on historical inequalities in his community and across the United States. Victor is the Founder of Dreamers of the Day LLC. and serves as the Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs for Fluence International Inc., a company that provides evidence-based training in psychedelic therapy and integration services to clinicians across the globe.
Before joining Fluence, Victor served as Deputy Director for the Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Advocacy and Reform where he co-led the implementation of the Trauma-Informed PA Plan, helped establish the first Racial Day of Healing in Pennsylvania history, and developed free trauma trainings for Pennsylvanians in collaboration with internationally recognized experts. He has expertise in policy and advocacy, BIPOC mental health, racial and communal trauma, and psychedelic medicine.
He is a Licensed Social Worker and practicing psychotherapist in Pennsylvania with training in Internal Family Systems, Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Integration.

Wholehearted Learning with Patty McGee (Episode 10)
In this episode of the Conscious Evolution podcast with Dr. Andrea Pennington, Patty McGee, author and educator, discusses how the beliefs that we hold closely determine the limitations we place on ourselves and how through shifting perspective we can elevate the learning process and develop positive messages for a more fulfilling life.
When it comes to living and learning, YOU HAVE CHOICES! FUN CHOICES! And choosing the right teacher and with the right attitude makes all the difference in the world.
Patty McGee is on a mission to expand our minds about learning and show us how important it is to be willing to do things IMPERFECTLY, with JOY...even if it feels "uncomfortable"! (Patty also tells us what that "discomfort" actually means.)
When we are educated on how best to TEACH someone...we learn that our phrasing in the face of shame or embarrassment can make all the difference in the world to a student and CAN be the determining factor for someone persevering or just giving up. (No matter the age of the student!)
Patty has recently completed a film and classes based on her latest book and workshop: "The Seven Essentials of Writing". Her intention for 2022 is to surround herself with teachers and maintain a nurturing tone to grow and help others do the same.
Patty McGee is committed to teaching and learning...and having FUN! Stay tuned till the end to hear what role Dr. Andrea played in Patty's work.
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Patty McGee is an author-educator whose passion and vision is to create learning environments where teachers and students discover their true potential and power. Patty’s favorite moments are when groups of teachers are working with students collaboratively in the classroom. She has served schools nationally and internationally to support literacy teaching and learning.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Ifetayo briefly worked at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies in 2015 where she was inspired by Kai Wingo’s Women and Entheogens Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

Awakening God Consciousness with Ayahuasca and other psychedelics with Valencia Khoza (Episode 8)
In this episode, Valencia Khoza tells Dr. Andrea about how Ayahuasca actually showed up as an answer to a Google search.
Valencia grew up always having a direct spiritual connection to divine energy. But when the desire she felt in her heart to know the true meaning of her existence and her desire to truly know GOD, her traditional Christian church left her seeking more answers.
Valencia explained that she wanted to connect with God beyond reading words in a book. Beyond PRAYER...Beyond MEDITATION... She wanted to know if she could actually TALK TO GOD...and when she typed in a Google search asking that very thing, "Ayahuasca" popped up!
She was surprised to find a spiritual community near her who held a variety of safe sacred ceremonies with plant medicine. Valencia was beyond inspired and leaned into the answers that were being offered by 'Mother Aya". And in this video, she shares her experience and revelations!
Did she actually have the conversation she was seeking with God?
Is the truth really OUT there? ...Or is it WITHIN? Tune in and find out!
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Valencia Khoza is a seeker, intuitive channeler, Truth teller who is passionate about helping people awaken to God consciousness.
