This week on Psychedelic Mom Podcast, Michaela continues her conversation with Mikaela de la Myco as they further reflect on the vital need for cultural competency, safety, and the inclusion of feminine voices in the psychedelic space. Mikaela shares about the deep influence of the Ma’at tradition on her work, explaining how the teachings of Ma'at, the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth and justice, can be applied to create support and accountability systems within contemporary psychedelic communities. She also advocates for the integration of traditional practices, such as Yoni steaming, natural birth control, and traditional midwifery into modern healthcare for women, and touches on the broader implications of ‘re-matriating’ entheogens.
Mikaela de la Myco serves as a mother, an educator, a folk herbalist, a community organizer and entheogen facilitator. She applies her gifts in ancestral healing ways by supporting cooperatives, caretaking survivors in her work with MA'AT, educating in polyamorous and extended family structures, administrating certification courses like ECO Sensual, the Herbal & Trauma-Informed Advocacy Certification, conducting and presenting citizen science research for Mothers of the Mushroom, and tending to people in need of full-spectrum herbal womb care. She has collaborated as an educator and activist with many companies and organizations within the sacred earth medicine space and is well known as a maternal caretaker in the community.
