Healing from healing: why artists are the shamans of the West; becoming a parent at the end of the world; hope as a moral imperative…and much more. E42

We Are Already Free

Do you ever feel trapped on the hamster wheel of never-ending healing, exhausted and burnt out from being pulled in by every sign you see…yet still hoping that THIS TIME, this time you’ve found the magic pill to make it all better? Or, do you feel that deep gut-churning embarrassment when you come across the latest ‘light language’, manifest your destiny, psycho-spiritual new-age healing modality, so popular in today’s social media, ‘spirituality as performance’ culture? Thankfully, I have good news for you, because today’s episode is all about Healing from Healing!

Welcome to We Are Already Free, the podcast empowering down-to-earth seekers to remember that they are already free! I'm Nathan Maingard, empowering wordsmith, guide, and weirdo…and it’s an honour to be here with you.

This episode welcomes guest Adam Andros, the man behind Healing From Healing on IG, which casts a critical, skeptical & humorous gaze at Transformation & Healing Culture.

Adam is a doctoral candidate in Medical Anthropology and Cultural Psychiatry. He's actively involved in the Medical Anthropology Research Center and the Ayahuasca Community Committee at the Chacruna Institute. Adam conducted over four years of research and fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, where he organized Ayahuasca workshops for shamanic and medical tourism. Currently, Adam is the director of therapeutics and integration at Rē Precision Health in Mexico, where he also facilitates preparation and integration processes. He assists clients in reframing healing using relational and creative approaches, with a secular, humanistic, and open-ended perspective.
