Episode 12
Join the Psychedelic Mom, Michaela Carlin, for a deeply personal conversation with musician and psychedelic integration specialist, Jeremy Colbert (Taragápe), that includes the story of Jeremy’s journey seeking to share psychedelic medicine with his mother, a discussion of the gravitational pull of the shadow on our consciousness and the healing power of bringing that shadow into the light, and ways we can work with masculine and feminine energies to lay a foundation of self-love for aligned action.
Jeremy Colbert, also known as Taragápe, is a musician, sound healer, energetic alchemist, certified integration specialist, and facilitator for ceremonial Earth Medicine experiences. He holds a degree in music education and after teaching children music for eleven years in Pittsburgh, he has shifted paths to support adults with the reconnection to their inner child as well as the full spectrum integration of the magic and karma of what it means to be human on Gaia. Music plays a central role in Taragápe’s practice and facilitation as he believes it to be the vibrational geometry that holds space for our energetic alignment.
He currently resides near Boulder where he continues to develop and expand his practice and offerings – regionally and remotely. Taragápe’s debut album, Spirit Maze, a sonic integration piece, is available on one’s preferred music listening platform.
