Caitlin Moakley of Cosmic Sister and Soil and Spirit

It's that time of month again, time for a podcast takeover. Please settle in and enjoy Aja Atwood's conversation with another fascinating guest connecting the health of our planet to the the health of its inhabitants.

Today's guest on Cannabis & Climate Change  hails straight from South Boston, Massachusetts. Caitlin Moakley of Cosmic Sisters and Soil and Spirit, is a plant medicine advocate and champion of conscious ingredients in personal care. As the owner and operator of Soil and Spirit, she focuses on collaborating and creating with small businesses in the natural products industry, as well as the cannabis and psychedelic communities.

Caitlin shares her journey to the Amazon and her connection to  Cosmic Sister, an ecofeminist organization that funds women to share their experiences with cannabis and psychedelics by way of educational advocacy grants. And how her experience with Ayahuasca changed her relationship with cannabis!
