Psychedelics Today, episode 583 – "How Do You Find the Right Facilitator? The Art of Matchmaking in Psychedelic Healing." In this episode, Joe interviews Nico and Susan Simon: Co-founders of JourneyŌM, a concierge service looking to address the question many people are asking: How do you find the right facilitator? Through a dedicated vetting process, JourneyŌM is adding a layer of risk reduction and accountability to this strange new world, by traveling the country and amassing a network of trusted facilitators who work with all types of medicines and modalities. By getting to know guides and seekers personally, they’re able to offer possible matches – and they usually agree on who would work best with each other. They talk about: -Their process for building their network and finding the right facilitator for someone -Their concept of going “beyond the bio” and getting to the heart of what drove someone toward becoming a guide -Susan’s struggle with supporting Nico through his psychedelic healing, and the need for support options for spouses not sharing in the experience -The importance of community and the amazing work Nico has seen in men’s groups -The healing powers of movement and living as your authentic self and more!
