As human beings, we have the ability to dream our world into being; to consciously decide the future we wish to see for the next generation. In this episode of The Spiritual Game of Business Podcast, entrepreneur Jesse van der Velde intimately shares how his path with sacred plant medicine awakened him to the Sacred Dream and to fundamental changes in his identity and business.
How could a simple wrist watch hold a message from the universe? Entrepreneur Jesse van der Velde shares how such a wrist watch, in tandem with the power of sacred plant medicines, awakened his eyes to the voice of his soul. Join Jesse on The Spiritual Game of Business Podcast and watch the world within yourself, your life, and your business:
“What identities do you pursue that no longer serve you?” – Jesse van der Velde
Join entrepreneur Jesse van der Velde in exploring how plant medicine pushed him to challenge his preconceived ideas of success and identity. Explore how the pursuit of perceived identities clouds our inner truth.
What is an identity that you’ve been strongly attached to?
What is standing in your way from being your true self?
Are you ready to let go of the safety of your identity?
“What part of you has been creating the problems of your life? What are those problems a reflection of?” – Jesse van der Velde
In this episode of The Spiritual Game of Business, Jesse van der Velde explores the nature of how we face discomfort and how moments of discomfort can teach us about our own businesses. Jesse shares his personal story about how a sacred plant medicine sweat lodge transformed his understanding of the spiritual game of business. Join Jesse in exploring:
What is your reaction when you are in an uncomfortable situation?
How is your business a reflection of your life?
What drives your need for success?
What are you trying to achieve?
In this podcast, Jesse reveals how our own businesses are a reflection of our inner world and, ultimately, a manifestation of our search for inner peace. Join Jesse in exploring what ways your own business is mirroring your inner world.
Welcome to The Spiritual Game of Business, where entrepreneur Jesse van der Velde guides you on an inner path of becoming – a path he has been walking with the unique mentorship of both his successful business mentor and his plant medicine shaman mentor.
In this first episode, Jesse challenges you to look within:
What truly motivates you and your professional and personal aspirations?
How do you respond to discomfort or problematic situations?
What does it mean to surrender in the face of difficulty?
And conversely, what does it mean to take action instead?
Join Jesse on this journey of becoming as he intimately shares his personal discoveries of The Spiritual Game of Business.
For me, the path of plant medicine is such
a profound path full of wisdom and I find it a privilege to be able to guide
you through it. It is a deep inner path where we understand ourselves and life
much better. In this video, I would like to share the third principle with you.
There is so much more to become aware of and understand than science. Through a
deep inner path, as with the plant medicines, we reconnect with our heart, with
nature and with that which is greater than ourselves. That journey in itself is
so special and joyful. Of course healing ourselves is both difficult and
painful at the same time, as I have experienced myself. I have looked at many
dark sides of myself and healed so much pain that it came to light. Every
healer is also in his own process to heal himself – and so am I.
The third principle
I often looked outside myself when I did not feel well or when something did
not go the way I wanted or had hoped it would. I thought I would have to change
something in my environment. Stop my business or go and live among the shamans
in nature… But in hindsight I am so glad I did not do that, because something
inside me wanted to be healed. So fleeing from that would not have solved the
problem.
Of course, sometimes it is important to end something in your life, something
that is no longer good for you. But I have learned that you can often only make
this decision when you have learned the lessons that are in this situation.
This is very much about ‘excited non-expectation’, the third principle in this
Psychedelic Integration Program. In a way, can you be excited about everything
in your life, even if you do not like it? Can you find your own process,
lessons and growth in every situation, instead of projecting your expectations
on others? Instead of wanting to escape from the situation or reality.

A
personal example
“This is not how it supposed to be”, that is the story I have told
myself for a while. I have three companies, but growing all three on my own was
too much in hindsight. They should make a lot of profit right away, but when
that became more difficult, it all came down to me and I kept thinking: this is
not how it should be! Things got better when I asked for help, step by step. I
had so many expectations of life, of people around me, and had a clear picture
of what life should be like. It was a difficult time because my expectations of
others and of life did not match my reality at the time. Then struggles arise within yourself.
I had to learn to let go of my expectations. To accept what is really there and
to stay with it. With two feet firmly on the ground, without leaving it. To see
that things, even if they are not how I want them, are sometimes exactly as
they should be. To learn from or grow from. Try to be enthusiastic about the
journey of life, with all its situations and events.
“You have made long journeys with the plant
medications, but then bring yourself back firmly to earth with two feet.”
“You travelled far and beyond with the plant medicine,
but bring yourself back after with two feet solid on the ground”
Assignment in this video My invitation is to close your eyes and turn inside. Breathe in and out deeply and let this principle affect you. Where can you let go of your expectations? The idea of what life should be like? How can I put my two feet back firmly on the ground? How can I really accept the situation I am in? Because that is what we have to do.
Do you want to continue with the Psychedelic Integration Program? This was the last video of this free training. Do you want to continue training? Further deepening? Deeper integration? More frameworks and support for moments of peace, silence and meditation in your life? I kindly invite you to follow the rest of the training as well, click on the link below for more information.
I would also like to invite you to attend an online ceremony of one hour. We do not use plant medication, but I will guide you through different worlds with the help of, among others, the shamanic drum. With the aim of integrating your plant medicine experience.
This is the last video of the free part of the Psychedelic Integration Program.
