Gabriel Castillo describes a spiritual practice built around paying attention to the experiences he once struggled to face.
Gabriel joins Jay Hicks to discuss his personal history, his experiences with psilocybin, and the perspective behind his work as a spiritual teacher and ceremony facilitator. He talks about intention, self-reflection, and how he understands the relationship between a powerful experience and the choices that follow it.
The conversation moves through inherited beliefs, mindfulness, and the language people use for consciousness and spirituality. Gabriel shares what has felt meaningful in his own life, while he and Jay explore the difficulty of translating an intensely personal experience into something another person can understand.
