If you still feel guilty repeating an old fear, this episode is for you. Host Shreya talks with Oliver Glozik, founder of Harmonica Retreat, about why a healing mindset begins with acceptance, not self-improvement pressure.
Oliver shares nervous-system practices, time in nature, and honest reflection that help you feel emotions instead of numbing them, and why healing moves in a spiral, not a line.
About the Guest:
Oliver Glozik, a former corporate executive turned integration coach, founded Harmonica Retreat, an ayahuasca retreat center in Colombia rooted in the Kamsá Biyá tradition of the Putumayo region.
Key Takeaways:
- Start with accepting where you are right now, instead of fighting the fear or guilt you feel.
- Chasing self-improvement without acceptance breeds shame; healing begins by allowing the emotion first.
- Pick a nervous-system practice that feels natural to you, not one copied from someone else's feed.
- Sit in silence in nature to hear your own thoughts beneath the noise of social media.
- Judge your healing by the quality of your daily life, not your highlight reel.
- Expect old lessons, like boundaries or self-worth, to spiral back until fully learned.
