• Episode 315: Divine Guidance with Shuan Ryan
    Nov 11 2024

    Shaun Ryan was my fellow panelist at Psychedelic Awakening 2024 in Los Angeles last month and is an ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT facilitator. Since we shared the stage together, I thought it would be fruitful to invite him onto the podcast so I could get to know him better and also bring you another great conversation, so that's what happened. Shaun shares his personal healing and transformation journey with psychedelic medicines, his ayahuasca apprenticeship, and his work with 5-MeO-DMT. You can learn more about Shaun and his offerings via his website, Divine Guidance

  • Episode 309: DMT Healing, Ketamine, and MySelf Wellness with Charles Patti
    Sep 30 2024

    While smoking DMT at a gathering of friends, Charles Patti made contact with something more, and his life was changed. This is his story of how he healed with DMT, got into Ketamine therapy, opened a clinic in Florida, developed a podcast, created a non-profit for veteran access to psychedelic healing, his experience with psychedelic parenting, and more. So many interesting topics, all in one episode! Find out more about Charles and his projects with these links: Clinic, DMTx, Warriors of Consciousness

    Production note: there were some occasional transmission hiccups on Charles' side of the conversation. I've tried to edit them as best I could, but expect a few places where the audio gets a little glitchy.

  • Episode 307: Iboga Rebirth with Spencer Burton
    Sep 16 2024

    My guest this week is Spencer Burton, founder of Iboga Rebirth, the first and only legal entheogenic church in the state of Oregon that provides Iboga retreats. This interview adds to my growing collection of conversations about entheogenic churches and is another addition to those that are specifically in the great state of Oregon. Spencer and I had a lengthy conversation about his own initiation into Iboga, his time with the Bwiti, and how he sees Iboga as assisting in the process of rebirthing oneself into a more authentic and present way of being and living life.

  • Episode 305: Psyched Wellness with Jeffrey Stevens
    Sep 2 2024

    My guest this week is Jeffrey Stevens from Psyched Wellness which has developed an effective and safe amanita muscaria extract product, "Calm." Having used it myself, I can attest to its calming, relaxing, and dreamy effects - completely unlike psilocybin mushrooms. It's primarily marketed as a sleep aid, but can be used for enjoyment as an alcohol alternative, as well. We discuss the product, sleep, and more.
