In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, host Les Raymond sits down with Dr. Richard Grossman, founder of Heart Feather and a healer with over four decades of experience in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and natural health. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Grossman has also immersed himself in Amazonian shamanism, leading transformative plant medicine ceremonies and guiding others on their path to healing. He is the author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, which shares his personal journey and the powerful insights he’s gained through deep spiritual work.

Dr. Grossman opens up about how a childhood fascination with medicinal plants eventually led him to the healing worlds of ayahuasca and San Pedro. He shares how early trauma shaped his life, how plant medicine helped him access layers of emotional healing, and why trust and forgiveness are essential ingredients in the path to wholeness. This rich conversation explores the intersection of traditional healing, spirituality, and emotional freedom.

Key topics

Trauma Isn’t a Wall—It’s a Door

Dr. Richard can speak to how trauma serves as an initiation rather than just damage - how our deepest wounds become portals to self-discovery when approached with the right tools and perspective. Drawing from 50 years of integrating acupuncture, Chinese medicine and shamanic practices, Richard offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream trauma narratives, showing how to alchemize pain into wisdom without bypassing the real work.

What Ayahuasca Taught Me About Doing the Dishes

Dr. Richard can reveal how the most powerful spiritual lessons show up in ordinary life - how to bring ceremonial insights into daily routines, relationships and challenges. With 20+ years facilitating plant medicine work, Richard brings rare humility and practicality to the often-glamorized world of shamanic healing, focusing on sustainable integration over peak experiences.

Healing is Walking Backward

Dr. Richard can explain why real growth often feels counterintuitive - how slowing down, embracing uncertainty, and focusing on integration creates more lasting change than chasing dramatic breakthroughs. Richard shares hard-won wisdom from guiding thousands through transformations, offering his 'Lambo vs. walking' metaphor as a radical rethink of what progress really means in healing and self-discovery.
