Solstices, Ceremonies and Psilocybin with Aisha von Nahmmacher

This is a different kind of episode, introducing you to Aisha von Nahmmacher, who works with me on rooted healing and we, last minute as ever, decided to record a bonus episode of sorts in honour of the solstice and to mark our full cycle of work together.

Aisha is a documentary producer currently delving into hidden ancestral practices in Britain and Ireland.  She’s also a yoga teacher who fuses the mycelial realm regularly into her work, and she was the curator of our gathering Forestlings, which was a joyous, playful exploration of autumns’ delightful wisdom. So it goes without saying that Aisha is an avid plant + fungi medicine advocate who is also burrowing away to help Rooted Healing grow more roots.  You may be hearing more from her as this new cycle of the podcast unfurls…

We went on a meandering escapade through the landscapes of solstices, ancestral stones, ceremony and psilocybin.  We spoke of going into the darkness at this potent time and so at the end of this episode we’ve woven in a beautiful song called Let the Light In by Bonnie Medicine from her new album Wide Open. 

Head to rootedhealing.org to explore our gatherings and upcoming online course ‘Deepen Your Roots’.  The course begins on Imbolc so it could be a potent time to enrol now amidst the solstice, planting those intentions.

Thank you Mike Howe and Chris Park for your music ongoing music contributions.
