Psychedelic DivasAuthor: Carla Detchon
Welcome to Psychedelic Divas, where we explore the power and the pitfalls of the emerging world of psychedelics through the wisdom of the divine feminine. As the psychedelic underground pushes upward into our mainstream awareness and the legal above ground, Psychedelic Divas is here to serve as a guide for those who might be interested in exploring whether these medicines are right for them. Let's be clear, these medicines are definitely not for everyone, and we are not promoting their use. What we are providing is education and a deeper understanding of what's possibleboth the good and the challengingwhen it comes to choosing whether or not to explore these powerful molecules. Your host, Carla Detchon, has been exploring psychedelic realms for 40 years both recreationally and ceremonially. Through her work as an Integration Coach, she helps people find a deeper understanding of the messages of these experiences, so they can move into wholeness and motivated action. Our intention with this podcast is to provide a safe haven, a sanctuary for open-hearted individuals seeking personal growth, spiritual expansion, and a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. Thanks for listening--We look forward to growing together.

34. The Power of a Spiritual Mentor
Episode 34
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
In episode 34, I honor the life and legacy of my long-time teacher, mentor, and medicine sister, Rowena "Ricci" Coddington who passed on March 30, 2026, at the age of 93. I walk through Ricci's extraordinary lineage in the psychedelic underground: her training with Leo Zeff, her work with Fritz Perls and Gestalt therapy, and her rare role as a Black woman holding sacred space in a world that was almost entirely white and male. In this episode, you'll hear: How I met Ricci through Ralph Metzner in 1996, and why I chose a secret women's medicine circle as my next path About my 2000 journey to Peru with a small, curated group traveling deep into the Amazon (well before ayahuasca tourism existed) where we drank medicine seven times with curandero Don José Campos A story about 62.5 micrograms of LSD, a medicine bag full of tricks, and the moment Ricci and I bonded over being the troublemakers How important it is to support our psychedelic elders, and why Jack still needs that support today Thank you for listening.
