Virginia Edmond-Kent | How are yoga, psilocybin & vipassana all doorways to awakening? | S2 Ep 15

“The most profound experiences we can have, or developments we can have, are from visiting our meditation practice regularly.”

Today, I sit down with skilled teacher and sweet soul Virginia Edmond-Kent, whom I met on Lake Atitlan in 2020. Virginia has dedicated a decade to practicing and sharing the transformative power of yoga. She believes in the synergistic potential of combining plant medicine with yoga to heal trauma and promote personal growth. Her teachings encourage free thinking and transcendence of our current reality, empowering students to explore their inner landscapes and expand their consciousness.

We get into the profound expansion possible through yoga, vipassana, meditation and plant medicine. Virginia shares her personal stories and similar experiences with meditation and psychedelics.
