Psychedelic Divas

Welcome to Psychedelic Divas, where we explore the power and the pitfalls of the emerging world of psychedelics through the wisdom of the divine feminine. As the psychedelic underground pushes upward into our mainstream awareness and the legal above ground, Psychedelic Divas is here to serve as a guide for those who might be interested in exploring whether these medicines are right for them. Let's be clear, these medicines are definitely not for everyone, and we are not promoting their use. What we are providing is education and a deeper understanding of what's possible—both the good and the challenging—when it comes to choosing whether or not to explore these powerful molecules. Your host, Carla Detchon, has been exploring psychedelic realms for 40 years both recreationally and ceremonially. Through her work as an Integration Coach, she helps people find a deeper understanding of the messages of these experiences, so they can move into wholeness and motivated action. Our intention with this podcast is to provide a safe haven, a sanctuary for open-hearted individuals seeking personal growth, spiritual expansion, and a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. Thanks for listening--We look forward to growing together. Music Credit: Om Mane Padme Om by Suzanne Sterling & Christopher Krotky

  How Psychedelics Help Us Turn Ordinary Moments into Peak Experiences | Ep 41 w/ Carla Detchon

  Sep 17, 202625 min

  What if a peak experience isn't reserved for the marathon finish line or the birth of a child but is waiting inside an ordinary Tuesday? In this solo episode, Carla Detchon reframes the whole idea of a "peak experience" tracing the concept back to her coaching training and then bringing it down to earth through personal stories that include mountain-bike rides in West Marin along with late-summer days at a Georgia lake. Along the way she shows how psychedelics (and the intention we bring to them) help us slow down, expand time, and consciously turn small, everyday experiences into lasting, embodied peak moments. In this Episode: An expanded definition of "peak experience." Why the little moments may be the most available, and most transformative, peaks of all. Letting go of the brakes. How a mushroom-assisted ride turned years of caution and bailing halfway up the hill into trust and flow. And what that shift teaches about control far beyond the trail. Claiming the moment as your own. A solo ride, a well-deserved vista, and a found object that still sits on Carla's altar as a reminder that connection and power don't depend on anyone else being there. Commitment as ceremony. Standing on a ten-meter tower she couldn't jump from the year before, and how setting an intention and deciding in advance dissolved the fear and sealed the commitment to self. Imprinting joy in the body. The practice of deliberately anchoring feelings of bliss, oneness, and connection, so that a simple cue like the wind in your hair can call them back later. Attuning to place. Using a slow, blissful paddleboard on a quiet lake as a meditation on stewardship, presence, and honoring the ground (and water) beneath us. Whether or not psychedelics are part of your path, this one is an invitation to slow down, notice, and start turning ordinary moments into peak experiences. Thank you for listening.

  Episode #40

  Anthropologist, Activist and Psychedelic Troublemaker Bia Labate, Founder of Chacruna Institute | Ep 40

  Aug 18, 20261h 4m

  My guest for episode 40 is Dr. Bia Labate, co-founder and executive director of Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines. Bia is a queer, Brazilian anthropologist, author, and activist who has spent three decades at the crossroads of sacred plants, drug policy, and social justice. She's one of those rare people whose scholarship and activism are inseparable from her own lived journey with the medicine. In this episode, we explore the roots of prohibition and what's really underneath the war on drugs, as well as how these medicines should, and shouldn't, be regulated as they spread across the world. We talk about identity, courage, and coming home to yourself. Bia shares the story behind Chacruna's decade of work, what psychedelic justice means when it's more than a slogan, and what it looks like to give back to Indigenous communities in a way that honors rather than tokenizes. If you care about the heart and soul of this movement, who it centers and who it leaves out, this one's for you. In this Episode: Bia's psychedelic origin story, and how a wide-open journey through Mexico at age 19 set the course of her life in motion. Bia's unique upbringing that planted the seeds for a lifetime of weaving anthropology, culture, and sacred plants. Why Bia sees the war on drugs as a failed system and what she believes is really underneath decades of prohibition. The big question of regulation: what Brazil's approach to ayahuasca can teach us, and why community and culture may protect people better than the law alone. A personal perspective on whether the medicine is best experienced in its native land and what matters more than geography. Bia's deeply personal story of identity, courage, and coming out that lives at the heart of Chacruna's Queering Psychedelics work. What psychedelic justice really means in practice, and how the Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative is reimagining what it looks like to give back.

  39. The Universe is Waiting to Gift You

  Jul 16, 202614 min

  This episode is a short, personal story before I head off to an endless summer of 18 hours of daylight in Sweden and Estonia. I'm sharing a lesson my guides reminded me of that I've tried to live by ever since I received it over 20 year ago: the universe is waiting to gift you. The gems are already on your path — your work is to shift into the vibration that lets you receive them. In This Episode: I'm celebrating two years of Psychedelic Divas as well as our new ranking in the top 3% of all podcasts globally according to ListenNotes. I ask my guides how to make the work of doing the podcast more fun, and they come through! I share how the universe helped me and my friend get into a sold-out Michael Franti show. You'll learn how I received this core message: The universe is waiting to gift you, and how it's impacted my life. If you have stories of how the universe has gifted you, I'd love to hear. Thanks so much for listening. Note: only one episode this month and one in August while I travel and then celebrate my birthday.

  May 21, 202618 minS0

  <p >The Real Reason People Fear Psychedelics</p> <p >What's the number one reason people say they'd never try psychedelics? "I don't want to lose control." In this episode, we unpack that while that fear may be understandable, it doesn't serve your personal growth. For most people, working wisely with plant medicine is not about losing control. It's about knowing what you are in control of and when you need to let go and surrender.</p> <p >Tune in to learn:</p> Why "I don't want to lose control" is the most common barrier to psychedelic exploration The elements you...
