Podcasts & Interviews

Magic Mushrooms as Medicine, SEEN the Magazine Article

Mushrooms also differ from traditional pharmaceuticals in that they are plant medicines, says Michaelene Ruhl, Psy.D., the founder of Constellation Healing Arts in Farmington Hills, which provides plant-spirit medicine therapy and integration. She coaches people on how to safely use mushrooms and other plant medicines, including with microdosing, and helps them integrate (or process) the experience of using the plant medicines. Ruhl also helps people understand that “it’s a very, very sacred process,” she says. “It's a journey, and it's an immersion.”

Lost in the Wild, At Home Within: A Story of Mad Sweeney

​I am honored to be a part of my dear friend and healer, Marisa Glaser Goudy's podcast KnotWork Storytelling!
​The episode is entitled, “Lost in the Wild, At Home Within: A Story of "Mad Sweeney.” KnotWork Storytelling is a little different than your usual podcast. Each episode begins with a story from mythology or folklore and is followed by a conversation about how the story still matters. Marisa shares the story of an Irish warrior king named Sweeney who is cursed to wander alone in the wilds. In our conversation that follows, we explore the experience of modern veterans, the power of sacred plant medicine, and the quest to find a true home.

Exploring Family/Systemic Constellations can be a transformative and enlightening experience. A good facilitator plays a crucial role in guiding participants through this process. Here are some qualities that contribute to being a good facilitator in the context of Family/Systemic Constellations:
  • Empathy and Compassion:
    • A good facilitator possesses a deep sense of empathy and compassion, creating a safe and supportive space for participants to explore their family dynamics and systemic issues.
  • Cultural Sensitivity:
    • Awareness and sensitivity to diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems are essential, as Family/Systemic Constellations often delve into deeply rooted cultural and familial patterns.
  • Intuition and Presence:
    • Facilitators should be in tune with their intuition and fully present in the moment, allowing them to pick up on subtle energies and dynamics within the constellation.
  • Non-judgmental Attitude:
    • Creating an environment free from judgment is crucial, enabling participants to share openly and honestly without fear of criticism.
  • Clear Communication Skills:
    • Effective communication is key. Facilitators should be able to articulate instructions clearly, ask probing questions, and guide participants through the constellation process with clarity.
  • Knowledge and Expertise:
    • A good facilitator is well-versed in the principles of Family/Systemic Constellations, possessing a solid understanding of the dynamics at play within family systems.
  • Flexibility and Adaptability:
    • Given the dynamic nature of constellations, facilitators should be flexible and adaptable, adjusting their approach based on the unique needs of each constellation.
