Offering embodiment practices that weave together insights from tantra, psychedelic medicine, social justice, and visionary cosmology, Valeria synthesizes her history of study and practice as trauma therapist and somatics teacher into an offering which illuminates an integrated path of awakening that cultivates a sense of resilient purpose in the face of a planet in crisis.   Her article can be found here. -  Rev. Peg Peters, is the host and works with www.Gatheringgroups.ca to provide transformative experiences through a group process.   

Hosted by peg peters, UNVEILED: exploring psychedelics and spirituality is a series of conversations that delve into the intricate connections between altered states of consciousness and spiritual seeking. While rooted in personal experiences with Christian symbolism, the discussions actively embrace an inclusive and open approach to spirituality. The podcast creates a space where faith, culture, health, and the many forms of human relationships intersect. Listeners will find episodes that thoughtfully examine how substances like psychedelics can influence personal meaning, spiritual practice, and overall well-being. This isn't about providing easy answers, but rather exploring the nuanced questions that arise at the crossroads of tradition and modern exploration. You'll hear genuine dialogue that reflects on film, television, and fitness through this unique lens, offering reviews and perspectives that tie everyday culture back to deeper existential themes. The aim is to foster understanding within the greater community and beyond, welcoming anyone curious about how individual journeys of meaning are shaped. Each episode invites reflection on how we navigate the profound and the mundane in our search for connection.
