  1. Tired of her sexism against men, she’s a smart individual but she’s so transparently stuck in Duality when it comes to male and female shamanic practitioners.

    • I’m a guy and read your comment before listening to the talk, and with the context of certain past interviews, I expected to have a similar reaction.
      But….
      I didn’t hear any sexism against men, only supportive references to men’s healing and healers.
      She’s growing on me. My first introduction to her was in the Psychedelic Salon. She was leading a group discussion of women speakers. They were attempting to address sexism in the Psychedelic community.
      Listen to it yourself and draw your own conclusions. But for myself, it left a bad taste in my mouth and have avoided her ever since… until recently.
      I find her intelligent, earnest and curious, which are great qualities for a teacher and interviewer. I always learn something even if I don’t totally agree with everything she says.

  2. Shonagh’s interview was, as usual, pretty good, but did anyone find it jarring to hear her suddenly invoke a right wing talk radio trope like “cultural Marxism”?
