Good Medicine Collective

Personal transformation ripples outward. And now, more than ever, our communities need grounded men with open hearts to step forward to do our part to tend the world.

Decades of feminism have empowered women, but most men remain limited by our culture’s collective patriarchal programming. Unlike indigenous cultures, we have lost the rites of passage that once guided boys into mature manhood.

As a result many men find themselves isolated, overworked, emotionally disconnected, searching for meaning and purpose, unsure how to do inner work, afraid to show vulnerability, and confused about what authentic masculine presence is. We must get beyond the aggression of toxic masculinity and the people-pleasing of the passive nice guy. This is also the work that makes us better partners capable of real intimacy.

Drawing from Jungian archetypal psychology, Shamanic wisdom, somatic bioenergetics, and Gestalt Therapy, this daylong introductory workshop will provide an opportunity to explore:

connecting to and embodying the primary masculine archetypes
cultivating the aliveness of full moment-to-moment presence
compassionately reclaiming our disowned shadow parts
sustainable practice tools to take home with you
This workshop will utilize mini-lectures, experiential exercises, movement, and group interaction.

While this workshop can be a stand-alone day, it’s intended to be the first of a series of workshops that will continue to more deeply explore the territory of masculinity, healing wounds, discovering your soul’s purpose, friendship, further freeing ourselves from collective oppression and programming, navigating the dance between the masculine and the feminine, not having our attention hijacked by screens, and other relevant topics.

You’re invited to join a group of men committed to being more awake in the world in a way that embodies passion, integrity, wildness, authenticity, kindness, and joy…to being more fully yourself.

We look forward to welcoming you into this space.

In this month’s Psychedelic Studio, Jezmina Von Thiele (they/she)—Romani fortune teller and co-author of Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling—explores the connections between traditional Romani divination practices and altered states of consciousness. Drawing on their family lineage and professional practice, they discuss how tools such as tarot, palmistry, dream interpretation, and tasseomancy can function as pathways into intuitive or trance-like states that help readers access symbolic insight, emotional truth, and guidance.

Roma are a diasporic Indian ethnic group known more commonly by the misnomer/racial slur, “gypsies.” Due to centuries of persecution, Roma have developed a number of survival trades, including metal working, horse trading performing, and fortunetelling. Jezmina was raised in a fortunetelling family, which included folk medicine training, and was taught the survival trade that has been passed down for many generations.

Jezmina also reflects on their personal experience undergoing M**A + ketamine therapy as a patient, and how those experiences deepened their understanding of altered states and spiritual experiences. By examining the crossover between psychedelic healing, trance, and Romani fortune-telling traditions, they highlight how practices now popular in modern wellness culture have long existed within Romani and other BIPOC communities—and how divination can serve as its own form of consciousness exploration. These Psychedelic Studio events are donation-based to support community building and education. Link to register in bio. We hope you’ll join us!

After that deadline, you may still order as long as inventory allows.  Orders can be placed by emailing [email protected] or at www.coasttocoastsalmon.com (link in bio) where Good Medicine Collective will be listed as a pickup location. We encourage friends to order together to share the salmon and savings!

We may also bring a small selection of partner products if there’s interest (canned smoked salmon, salmon jerky, and wild Maine seaweed from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables), though the focus is on bulk orders.
