Shedding Shame & Secrets Thru Shadow Work & Radical Honesty with Psychedelic Educators Tahkole

Often in our healing journey, we are called to examine the depths of our darkness. As today's guests, Tah and Kole Whitty, highlight, our shadow can cause anguish and pain beyond measure if we allow it to remain unfaced. 

The pain from sexual abuse, childhood trauma, or destructive familial relationships can manifest in various addictive lifestyle patterns. As one pursues a short-term connection through sex, drugs, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, a complex web of shame and dis-ease displaces the physical and mental body.

Ceremony Circle is a sacred container for every story, and Tah and Kole's healing journey comes with a trigger warning. No topic is off the table as we delve into their individual experiences with addiction and profound childhood trauma.  

This is a rich and rewarding roundtable chat with two powerful individuals who found personal freedom by shedding their secrets to the world, taking back their sovereignty, and curating a life based on uninhibited self-expression, play, and plant-medicine ceremonies.

Guest Bio:

Along with Tah's 25 years in emergency medicine and Kole’s 17 years of experience in addiction education, they share 17 years of combined experience in shamanic traditions and 15 years combined years of personal training and body alignment to NYC’s performance-driven entrepreneurs.

Whether you are attuned to it or not, you AND your clients are physically affected by the constructs you are participating in and they are showing up EVERYWHERE.

Tahkole focuses on what you want, whether it is an 8 figure business, deepened relationships, or embodying the freedom that you (and your clients) have been fighting to create.

Weaving the body deeply into every process and facet of life: family, business, love, sex, fun, spirituality, contribution, and expansion, IS the difference.
