Queering Plant Medicine with Tina Kat Courtney
Description
In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Tina “Kat” Courtney, a plant medicine pioneer, author, traditionally trained Ayahuasquera, psychedelic integration coach, and CEO and Co-Founder of Plant Medicine People.
Kat has spent two decades in deep relationship with plant medicines, and in this conversation, she shares how ayahuasca first came into her life, how she came to understand this work as a calling, and why creating safer, more affirming medicine spaces for queer and trans people matters so much.
Together, we explore plant spirits, queer healing, authenticity, ego death, actual death, integration, and the power of learning to trust the ride. Kat also offers beautiful reflections on nature as a teacher of fluidity and diversity, and why the medicine often invites us to become more fully, audaciously ourselves.
In this episode, we explore:
- How ayahuasca first came into Kat’s life more than 20 years ago
- What it means to be called into relationship with plant spirits
- Why queer and trans people need safer, more affirming medicine spaces
- Nature as a reflection of queerness, fluidity, and authenticity
- The healing power of being loved exactly as we are
- Ego death, death, rebirth, and unity consciousness
- Why bigger doses are not always better
- Sovereignty, sensitivity, and self-trust in medicine spaces
- Integration as embodiment
- How to let ceremony, grief, breakups, and life experiences actually change the way we live
