In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Tina “Kat” Courtney, a plant medicine pioneer, author, traditionally trained Ayahuasquera, psychedelic integration coach, and CEO and Co-Founder of Plant Medicine People.
Kat has spent two decades in deep relationship with plant medicines, and in this conversation, she shares how ayahuasca first came into her life, how she came to understand this work as a calling, and why creating safer, more affirming medicine spaces for queer and trans people matters so much.
Together, we explore plant spirits, queer healing, authenticity, ego death, actual death, integration, and the power of learning to trust the ride. Kat also offers beautiful reflections on nature as a teacher of fluidity and diversity, and why the medicine often invites us to become more fully, audaciously ourselves.
In this episode, we explore:
How ayahuasca first came into Kat’s life more than 20 years ago
What it means to be called into relationship with plant spirits
Why queer and trans people need safer, more affirming medicine spaces
Nature as a reflection of queerness, fluidity, and authenticity
The healing power of being loved exactly as we are
Ego death, death, rebirth, and unity consciousness
Why bigger doses are not always better
Sovereignty, sensitivity, and self-trust in medicine spaces
Integration as embodiment
How to let ceremony, grief, breakups, and life experiences actually change the way we live

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Langston Kahn, a Black, queer teacher and shamanic practitioner whose work focuses on radical human transformation, ancestral healing, and restoring an authentic relationship with our emotions.
Langston’s work lives at a powerful crossroads, weaving together somatic practice, contemporary shamanic traditions, initiations into traditions of the African diaspora, and deep relationship with helping spirits and ancestors.
In our conversation, we explore Langston’s origin story and the early spiritual experiences that helped shape his path. We talk about helping spirits, ancestral healing, and what it means to remember that support from the unseen world may already be reaching toward us.
We also dive into shamanism, what that word means, and how to approach this kind of spiritual work with integrity and discernment. Langston shares beautifully about the impact of colonialism on our relationship with ritual, ancestors, magic, community, and the sacred, and how healing may involve reclaiming ways of being that have been severed or forgotten.
This is a rich, mystical, grounded, and deeply nourishing conversation about spirit, lineage, queerness, healing, and what it means to become resilient, creative, and courageous enough to bring healing into a fractured culture.

In this solo episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil shares reflections from a recent journey to Costa Rica, where he sat with Grandmother Ayahuasca and received powerful teachings about aliveness.
After moving through a season of heaviness, collective grief, personal transition, and emotional numbness, Wil felt called back to the jungle through a series of signs and synchronicities. What unfolded was a deep remembering: that aliveness is not just joy or happiness, but the willingness to feel the full range of human emotion like grief, gratitude, desire, tenderness, fear, sensuality, wonder, and everything in between.
Wil explores how the jungle itself became part of the medicine: the river, the organic meals, the nourishing conversations, the singing, the dancing, the screen-free spaciousness, and the daily ritual of swimming naked in the cold flowing water of the Tulärí River.
This episode is an invitation to examine where we may be numbing out, where we may have turned down the volume on our own lives, and what it means to return to the body, the heart, and the sacred experience of being fully here.
This episode is for anyone who has been feeling numb, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like they are watching their life instead of fully living it.
May it serve as a reminder that your aliveness is already within you, waiting to be remembered.
You are not here just to just get through your life.
 You are here to live it.
Wil will be returning to the same retreat center in Costa Rica mentioned here to host an Awakened Hearts New Year’s Eve Retreat: A Jungle Journey into Connection, Authenticity and Aliveness.
This 7-day retreat will be an intimate gathering for GBTQ men to reconnect with their hearts, release old stories and patterns, and step into more authentic and alive ways of being, while being surrounded by the beauty of the Costa Rican jungle.

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Oneika Mays, a mindfulness teacher, yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist, and author whose work is devoted to making contemplative practice more accessible to communities that have too often been left out of mainstream wellness spaces.
Oneika has taught at Rikers Island, Kripalu, the Omega Institute, Lincoln Center, and beyond. She is also faculty at Embodied Philosophy/Yoga International, has been featured on SiriusXM and numerous podcasts, and is the author of the debut book Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation.

We also explore dream work as spiritual practice, loving-kindness, creating safety inside ourselves, the art of compassionate nonattachment and other juicy topics!
This is a grounded, soulful, and very human conversation about what it means to stay present, care deeply, and keep coming back to ourselves.

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil sits down with Maria Martinez, a Cosmic Weaver, Quantum Alchemist, and multidimensional healer who has been aware of the unseen realms since childhood. Coming from a lineage of shamans, Maria describes a life shaped by early encounters with spirits, relationships with guides and higher selves, and a deep connection to divine intelligence across timelines and dimensions.  
Together, Wil and Maria explore what it means to feel at home in your own truth, how authenticity can become a spiritual frequency, and how Maria experiences different higher aspects of herself that support her healing work. They also talk about astral mission work, the role of sacred guidance, multidimensional consciousness, timeline healing, and the restoration of what Maria calls the divine blueprint.  
Maria also reflects on what it was like growing up with these gifts, seeing spirits with both her inner and outer vision, and eventually being supported by a shamanic mentor who helped her develop healthy spiritual boundaries and a deeper understanding of her path. This is a conversation about sovereignty, spiritual remembrance, and the possibility that we are far more vast than we’ve been taught to believe.  
Wil also recieves a clearing from Maria that is meant for the listeners as well. It's a clearing of blockages to abundance and is a fascinating example of Maria's work (plus it can possibly produce positive results like it did for Wil!).
