#299 Exploring the Healing Power of the Wild – with Greg Wrenn

This week’s guest is Greg Wrenn, an associate English professor at James Madison University, blending climate science with literary studies.

His book, “Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis“, explores healing from complex PTSD through connecting with nature, psychedelic plants, and the beauty of endangered coral reefs.

Greg’s approach is deeply intertwined with his appreciation for the natural world, which he looks to as a source of recovery and understanding. His work reflects a journey of personal healing, advocating for ecological compassion and mental wellness through a unique fusion of his academic focus and individual experiences.

We discuss:

  • Awakening to an abusive childhood
  • The trap of therapy
  • First Ayahuasca ceremony
  • Integration of the psychedelic experience
  • New freedom
