Bridging Healing and Community
In this special live panel from The Condor Approach, host Kole
interviews a diverse group of healers, medicine carriers, and
retreat leaders.
The guests, including Lauren Gallagher, Jocelyn, Gaddy, and
Ariel, share their experiences and insights on running retreat
centers, working with plant medicines, and creating sustainable and
inclusive healing spaces.
They discuss the challenges and responsibilities of
maintaining retreat centers, the importance of cultural
reciprocity, and the nuances of serving marginalized communities,
including BIPOC and queer individuals.

integration and the impact of Western expectations on indigenous
practices.
