In this episode of the Mother Tree Network, Aminata speaks with Tyger Blair, a musical theatre artist, healer, and fellow Plant Walker, about his journey with indigenous wisdom and plant medicine.
Tyger discusses his experiences at the MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference and his significant role in the film 'A Table of Our Own,' which highlights Black people's contributions to psychedelic work.
He shares his background in the arts and how his rich, resonant voice became a powerful tool for healing and communication.
Tyger goes in-depth about his training under Dr. Malidoma Somé in the Dagara tradition, his encounter with Mesoamerican traditions through Maria Sabina's lineage, and how he integrates these indigenous practices into his life in a modern, multicultural setting.
Tyger also reveals a new facet of his ancestry involving Irish witches, blending African, Native, and European elements into a harmonious whole.
