#199 – Grimerica Talks “Shamans of the Global Village” with Rak Razam & Niles Heckman

Rak Razam and Niles Heckman join us to talk about the first episode of “Shaman’s of the Global Village”. This episode focuses is Octavio Rettig & The Sonoran Desert Toad. Each episode will highlight a different medicine. This first episode was made 100% independently by a small team of film makers. We chat about the making of this and about the global growth of psychedelics and shamanism. We also chat about many of the different medicines, holding space, duty of care, ancient practices, and the earth being a live ecosystem. People from all walks of life from all over the globe are finding various healing from this process. Addiction and PTSD just to name a couple.
