82. Waking up Out of Suffering with Non-Dual Teacher Josh Putnam

This week on The Psychedelic Mom, Josh Putnam shares the extraordinary journey of awakening that led him to become a non-dual teacher, beginning with his tumultuous childhood and how his experience of homelessness and an extremely painful relationship with his mother amplified his survival instinct to an emotionally unsustainable level. The conversation then opens up into vivid stories about life-altering moments of spiritual awakening, the intense process of facing emotional shadows, and the intricate relationship between suffering, awareness and identity. Michaela and Josh also explore perspectives on the potential benefits of psychedelics in the awakening process, the vastly different effect psychedelics have before and after awakening, and the continuous dance between form and emptiness.
