The Psychedelic Integration Podcast with Sinclair Fleetwood

Join me and High Priestess of the Stars Alicia Freeman for our Cosmic Weather Report: Virgo Season edition. Each month we have a witchy chat about all things zodiac (and teach you how to understand it all in an Earthy, practical magic kinda way.) Virgo season is the mutable Earth sign that signals we are in transition between summer and fall. Where it's time to harvest the bounty of all the se...

Ayahuasca is one of the most beautiful, healing, powerful, life-changing plant teachers on Earth. She is the Grandmother spirit. Abuelita. The dark feminine serpent who carries the knowledge of the ancient Amazon jungle, Pachamama, and consciousness itself. She is a living portal to another way of being and understanding. Ayahuasca is a medicine of liberation and remembering. Beyond the science an...

So a couple weeks ago inside my ​ NEST Group Integration Membership ​ , I issued a challenge to the group: Take a vacation from your problems. Over the next week, there were so many big breakthroughs, insights, and Aha! moments that came through for multiple Nesties. Why? Because stopping the forward motion allows space. And space allows things to rise into your awareness. Where you can witness it...

There will come a time in your medicine work where you start getting into the root causes of your issues. This is when you begin to see the bigger picture behind your thoughts, behaviors, and habits. Once you find the spiritual path, it feels like an answer to your prayers, but can also quickly turn into another way to not allow yourself to be good enough or healed enough. That there's somethi...

What if everything you think you know about life, the world, how things work, and the nature of reality is actually... wrong? Plant medicine lifts the veil and shows us that everything we are attached to, that we think we know, is false. The effect is that we stop being able to pretend. To live in a material world of cause and effect. It shows us the true nature of reality: That we are vibrational...

If your 'healing path' has started to feel like a shitty part time job that you don't even like, Leo Season is the time to reevaluate and reorient yourself toward play, joy, fun, and creativity. Even Mercury retrograde cannot stop your magic from blooming and blossoming this month! Join me and Alicia Freeman, our High Priestess of the Stars on this week's episode where we meander t...

That urgency you feel all the time? That's not actually yours. How many of us are running unconscious programs of unworthiness playing themselves out through production and performance instead of presence? What would happen if you opened space in your day? Your heart? Stillness and slowness create space to feel. To understand. The way to breakthrough and uplevel is not "do more and go fas...

Unpopular Opinion: Chronic Depression is CURABLE This week on the show, I'm having a super juicy, vulnerable talk with my bestie Tara Leitner-Merendino about finding your way out of depression. In this episode, Tara shares her remarkable story of overcoming her long battle with C-PTSD, which led her on an ultimate quest through anxiety, depression, doctors, diagnoses, pharmaceuticals, hospital...

Are you afraid of your anger? Anger is the misunderstood arsonist teenager who roams inside each of us wreaking havoc and setting fires. This inner rebel is simultaneously the protector, the vigilante, the protestor, and Ultimate Fighting Champion. It's hot, impulsive, and feels so dangerous. When anger is around, so is judgment. Of others, and especially ourselves. We think anger isn't spiritual....

Curious about Evolutionary Astrology? Wanna know how it relates to psychedelics and integration? WE GOT YOU FAM. Join me and High Priestess of the Stars Alicia Freeman for a new monthly series where we have a witchy chat about all things zodiac (and teach you how to understand it all in an Earthy, practical magic kinda way.)

Do you feel exhausted? Stressed? Strained? Like everything is a battle and you are wildly swinging swords trying to slay all the dragons? Yeah, striving and struggling exists to wear you out, steal your energy, and tank your vitality – all in the name of productivity, meeting goals, and doing what you "should..." But what if you just... STOPPED STRIVING? What if you are not some unending...

Facts: If you're not integrating, you're not getting the full benefit of sitting with psychedelics. Learn how to break out of the medical model mindset of pill popping and symptom chasing, and awaken to the power of plant medicine to guide you back home to your most empowered, embodied, authentic self. Without integration, psychedelics are just another peak experience. Don't let this h...

Blaming others. Blaming the system. Blaming the president. Blaming Them (as in Us vs. Them). Blaming your parents. Blaming your partner. Blaming your siblings. Blaming Spirit. Blaming humanity. Blaming everyone. And finally, blaming yourself. The work with medicine is radical. Revolutionary. It asks big things of you. It asks you to forgive. To find compassion and love. To stop making it all about...

Why do we believe we need permission, and what can we do to reclaim our sovereignty? We’ll explore how patriarchal conditioning taught us to outsource our authority, how plant medicines reveal where we’re still begging to belong, and how earth-based wisdom offers a way home to unapologetic being. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why seeking permission is a spiritual wound of separation – How systems of c...

Have you ever received a message or download from a psychedelic experience that shifted over time? Were you able to move and flow with it, or did it feel set in stone? The insights we receive on our path aren't meant to be locked in time, never to be questioned or expanded or changed. In this episode, go beyond "the medicine told me..." and explore the symbiotic relationship between...

If you've ever landed from a psychedelic journey—or a moment of profound clarity—only to feel stuck between the vision you received and the reality you’re living, you're not alone. That gap? It’s not a failure. It’s sacred ground. The secret is... don't let the HOW get you down. Learn about: Honoring the gap —Lean into the liminal spaces without fear, and do a trust fall instead Walking in two wor...

Explore the hidden epidemic of self-abandonment—why you disconnect from yourself, where it comes from, and the profound healing that becomes possible when you finally choose to come home and let Spirit (and yourself) back in. We’ll examine the ways you leave yourself behind—people-pleasing, numbing out, silencing our intuition, and mistaking self-sacrifice for strength. But what if the loneliness...

This week on the show, explore the radical yet simple act of trust —how we often resist it, why we fear it, and how embracing it can transform our lives. We'll examine the ways we mistrust —questioning our instincts, overthinking, and letting the critical voice in our heads convince us it’s the "real" us. But what if that voice isn’t you? What if it’s just a conditioned response to f...

What if the most profound lesson psychedelics offer isn’t about adding more to your life—but letting go of almost everything? Give less fucks, learn to appreciate what is right in front of you, and release the stuff and striving that's holding you back. Come home to the liberation of simplicity and gratitude. In this episode you'll learn: Why "healing overload" is the new spiritu...

This week on the show, I'm sharing insights into managing acute integration – the crucial window after a plant medicine journey where wisdom is most alive and ready to be embodied. Here’s what you’ll learn: Bridging the afterglow — how to honor the off ramp and stay in your bubble Earthy first steps : Hydration, nutrition, and physical grounding practices Journaling — the importance of capturi...

Let's be real. Doing your "inner work" is kind of a bitch. It's the uncomfortable, sticky, often unfun process of excavation, unlearning, deprogramming, sifting, sorting, and sitting with all the things that have been stuffed inside you for years. We can hold and hide and cram a lot inside us. We're actually really efficient at storing our internal garbage and saving it up so we can torment oursel...

There are a lot of ways you can work with psychedelics. From a clinical session with a therapist, to a solo trip out in nature, to journeying with friends, to going to a full immersion retreat in the Amazon, and everything in between. And while all paths are valid, all experiences are powerful, and all the ways are good ways – there is nothing more powerful, potent, and catalytic for deep, lasting...

In a world often overshadowed by crisis, uncertainty, and negativity, how do we find the strength to not only endure but thrive? We have a choice. We can fall in the abyss of despair, hopelessness, and pessimism. Or we can rise into a new worldview. Walk through the portal of fear and chaos into a new way of being and feeling and showing up. The plant medicine path has arrived to prepare us to be...

You may have spent long periods of your life in states of unconscious coping where you were ignorant to a higher way of being. Because you just didn't know how to do it another way. Maybe you lived (or are still living) in survival mode. Maybe like me, you were addicted, disassociated, and out of yourself for a LONG ASS TIME. These are the prisons of our forgetting. We are the prisoners and the ja...

Limiting beliefs are the silent saboteurs of your life—hiding in plain sight, disguised as your own thoughts. Masquerading as your identity. They tell you you're not ready, not worthy, or just "not the kind of person who gets miracles from the Universe." And the worst part? You believe them. In continuation from last week, I'm exposing these sneaky subconscious programs, showing...
