I’ve sat with three different plant medicine groups in Texas, and Two Birds is, by far, my favorite. I am of the belief that you cannot emphasize the community and the philosophy of the group providing the medicine enough. Two Birds staffs are marked by their desire to “get out of the way” between you, the medicine, and the transcendent source of healing and growth. This, in my opinion, is what makes Two Birds so effective. They understand that taking the medicine is a difficult task, so they watch you, sing for you, and keep you safe but the journey and the responsibility of going deep in our psyche is left to us. Outside the medicine, they don’t talk about “metaphysics,” “Truth,” “aliens;” and what not. It is about growing and healing here and now. Learning to be present. Facing all those small but difficult truths about ourselves. I trust in this kind of no nonsense approach. THIS is how we are healed, not by focusing on visuals, fireworks, and deeply strange things we can experience in altered states. I am forever indebted to the Two Birds church for all the healing and wisdom they helped me discover in my life.
