Ep 35 - Initiation: Learning to hear what life is asking w Matthew Duffy

Matthew Duffy (Duffy) is a myco-poet, writer, musician, and cultural alchemist. From 2018-2023, Duffy was instrumental in making Denver the first city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms, and later making Colorado the first state to fully decriminalize psilocybin and other entheogenic plants.

We explore the initiation Duffy went through that led to this calling, as well as the trials and tribulations that followed it.

Through it we discuss mythopoetics, human development, and what it means to wake up, grow up and show up.

Like many, nature and adventure has deeply transformed who I am.

I like to envision the wisdom, healing, and flow states gifted to me in nature as whispers from the mountain, transmissions that bring out our best selves, give us clarity of purpose, and our show us place in the world.

This project is an exploration of how people like to play outdoors, the way it bring meaning and transformation, and what it looks like to build a practice to give us reliable access to inspiration, connection, and healing.
