Ask Herbal Health Expert Susun Weed with guest Michael Griswold

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with psychedelics advocate Michael Griswold.
Michael Griswold is a survivor of deep-seated trauma, who has devoted himself to helping others heal from similar experiences. Michael's journey to healing began after he tragically lost his pregnant wife and unborn son in a car accident, leaving him consumed by grief and guilt for years. Despite trying various methods such as therapy, medication, yoga, and breathing techniques, Michael still felt like something was wrong with him, and that's when he turned to psychedelics. 
During a Heroic Journey with LSD, Michael found the healing he had been searching for. He discovered that the love he had for his wife was both tragic and beautiful, and that his thoughts did not have to control his reality. This experience led him to a new understanding of life as a present experience, free from the endless stream of thoughts that had plagued him before. 
Today, Michael is a passionate advocate for the healing power of psychedelics and offers a supplement that helps people suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Through his work, Michael seeks to spread awareness about the benefits of psychedelics, so that others can experience the same transformative healing that he did.

Lucretia has been working and learning with plants for over twenty years and was first introduced to the wise woman tradition while living an artist's life in New York City. Her father had passed away three days prior to the World Trade Center collapse in 2001, and that uncertainty sent her on a quest to find more autonomy and connection with the natural world.
Lucretia loves connecting people with plants. As a wise woman herbalist, her favorite times are spent meeting new and old plant friends wherever she happens to be. Sharing those relationships with other humans led her to create House of Lukaya in 2003. House of Lukaya, is a mobile and online source for offerings including plant medicine workshops, incense twists and other handicrafts, and a pocket Guide to Nourishing Herbal Infusions which she self published in 2018. 
Lucretia joined the board of Herbalist Without Borders in 2015 and is also on the planning team for the Black Tiny Home Festival, two organizations that are bringing communities together with nature as their guide. In 2019, she and her partner purchased land in Virginia where they are building a homestead from scratch.  
Throughout several changes in lifestyle and location, Lucretia has been making infusions consistently for many years and is excited to share her journey with you. She welcomes your communication at her website houseoflukaya.com, on Instagram @houseoflukaya, and at patreon.com/houseoflukaya.
