Psilocybin: Sacrament & Sacred Medicine - My interview with Rev. Pam Conboy

<p>In this interview episode, I'm sitting down with Reverend Pam Conboy from Setas Seminary out of Reno, Nevada. With a background in biology, Pam was trained as a clinical laboratorian and is currently a doctoral student in naturopathic medicine. She is an IIN-certified health coach, trained psychedelic facilitator, medical marketing/business development entrepreneur, and ordained minister. She is the co-founder and CEO of Setas Seminary, which catalyzes the conscious integration of physical and psychological wellness by facilitating unification with the universal spiritual intelligence, aided by natural healing sacraments. They believe in using psilocybin, the psychoactive element found in Psilocybe Cubensis "magic" mushrooms, as a sort of holy sacrament for whole health wellness, and drawing closer to the divine consciousness. **SEE UPDATE BELOW**</p><p>Topics discussed in this interview include: her background, Setas' methodology and what they offer, the pathways through which psilocybin interacts with the mind and body and the outcomes it can produce when used with intention, what a ceremony looks like at Setas, psilocybin's potential as a breakthrough therapy for generalized and treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, and more. </p><p>I greatly enjoyed this conversation, and I really hope that you will as well. I really can't say enough good things about Pam and the work they are doing at Setas. I have long been a vocal advocate for psilocybin's potential as a powerful breakthrough therapy for many mental health troubles and physical well-being in general, so it was very exciting to speak with someone who has seen the impact that this sacred medicine can have up close in many lives. </p><p>This was actually the 1st in this conversation series that I recorded after a multi-year break from conducting true on-camera interviews (so please overlook any initial awkwardness). </p><p><br /></p><p>If you would like to find out more about Setas or become a member (for free), where you will have access to educational material and resources, here are those links:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Visit Setas online by going <a href="www.setasseminary.org" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> </p><p>- Become a member to learn even more by clicking <a href="https://setasseminary.org/become-a-member/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>**UPDATE** 3 days before this episode was scheduled to debut I reached out to s
