The Psychedelic Integration Podcast Sinclair Fleetwood | Psychedelic Life Coach

Leo van Veenendaal is an Australian environmental engineer, adventurer, author, and apprentice of plant medicines. Early in his adult life he suffered from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and treatment resistant depression. At a point of desperation, he began working with indigenous plant medicines in 2016 to heal IBS, his gut, and his brain. It worked. In 2018 Leo was initiated into Fang Dissumba Bwiti at Ebando in Gabon where he took part in an iboga ceremony. He has continued working with and learning about plant medicines since, moving to South America in 2020 to continue his studies. Leo is passionate about helping ensure plant medicine's thriving, longevity, respectful use and conservation. His first book "The Iboga Experience" was released in February 2023. His second book "Mind Engineering" will be released in late 2024.

When I think of Leo, I think of a big hearted dude who loves learning from and conventing with plants in the jungle. I think of deep conversation with a thoughtful and open hearted man. And of a spirit brother who has a magical connection with sacred tobacco and mapacho. Leo is a humble soul traveler who has dedicated his life to learning about the power of plants in a respectful way. In this episode, he shares about how he came to meet plant medicines, his plant companions in the jungle, and offers solid guidance about iboga, one of the most powerful psychoactive plants in the world.

Stuck. Paralyzed. Trapped. Overwhelmed. Confused. Lost. This is the crisis state that I meet people in when they are seeking support for their integration path. Getting stuck is a common and necessary part of the spiritual path. Without the contrast of things not moving or working out how you like, you would never know how to truly be in flow and balance. No mud, no lotus. In this episode, find out how you get stuck, learn how to investigate what's holding you hostage, and discover the spiritual warrior path to get things moving again. Learn how to get unstuck by walking into the resistance. Facing the music. Surrendering your attachment to the outcome. And being willing to fuck around and find out.

I used to think that “conscious uncoupling” was a lame term made up by rich people with enough lawyers to handle their messy breakup. Now, my almost 5 year relationship with someone I love very much is ending. I am conscious. I am present. My heart is broken. And it is messy and hard, but not mean, spiteful, or ugly.

This time I get to choose to be loving instead of angry. I get to choose to be wise hearted instead of blaming and judging. I can choose to see that I am not being abandoned. That this is me choosing myself and you choosing yourself and that is beautiful. That we get to love each other forever because that’s what real love looks like. Allowing someone to be held and free at once.

Relationships don’t become failures because they don’t last forever. I am so grateful to have spent these last years loving and being loved by my person. I am so proud of him and how he moves in the world. I am praying for his path, that he finds peace, happiness, and does whatever it takes to share his medicine with the world. I am so grateful for it all. Thank you for being my most favorite teacher and sacred mirror and lover and best friend. And it hurts. And it’s hard. And I’m not able to show up in my work pretending I am above it all. I am here. In grief. In love. Walking through the portal of death into a new beginning.

Do you feel like no matter what you do or what practices you implement or how hard you try, you never REALLY feel satisfied? Does it always feel like there is some problem to fix or dragon to slay? Have you ever considered that you might be oriented toward suffering because that's what feels safe? What if you could learn the cure for perpetual dissatisfaction and finally give yourself permission to thrive and be free?

Welcome to the party, friends. The thing is, modern society is designed to make it impossible for you to feel good.

You are constantly being bombarded with messages of lack, planting a forest of confusion inside your mind that tells you no matter what you do, what you have, or how much you accomplish... it's just not THE THING THAT WILL FINALLY MAKE YOU HAPPY.

You can check all the "supposed to" boxes and still feel like nothing is ever actually okay. (Because the programmed path isn't cutting the mustard for people who are waking up. We know materialism, hustling, and looking outside ourselves for meaning is a soulless pursuit that leads to catastrophic emptiness.)

In this episode, I'm digging into this ultra-common and ever prevalent feeling of impending doom that has so many highly sensitive and gifted spiritual people feeling hopeless and ready to give up. And I'll share what you can do instead of hiding your beautiful weirdness so no one can make you feel bad about being you.
