Modern Psychedelics: Recent Episodes
Zoey Poulsen, Lana Pribic
Join us in bringing heart & intuition to the foreground of psychedelics. Our mission is to evolve human consciousness through conversations about psychedelics and spirituality. We interview spiritualists, scientists, and starseeds alike with the intention to ignite awareness, awakening, and integration within. Are you ready to feel confident in trusting your inner compass, no matter what your journey may look like? Let’s journey. *Album art by Frank Month.
What if some of the most common beliefs about psychedelics are actually making the journey harder?
In this special live episode, recorded at Anatha Fest, I unpack six common myths about psychedelic medicine work—from the idea that psychedelics will "fix" us, to the belief that bigger doses always lead to deeper healing. Drawing on my own experiences with ayahuasca, iboga, 5-MeO-DMT, coaching, and psychedelic integration, this talk explores a more grounded, nuanced approach to personal growth and transformation.
Topics Covered
- Why psychedelics won't fix you (and why that's actually good news)
- The difference between insight and integration
- What it means to be an active participant in your healing
- Why the medicine won't tell you what to do
- The myth that bigger doses are always better
- Microdosing, nervous system readiness, and the power of going slow
- Natural vs. synthetic psychedelics: a nuanced conversation
- Spiritual ego, psychedelic identity, and bypassing
- Why healing isn't a shortcut
- The role of preparation and integration in lasting transformation
- The importance of psychological safety in psychedelic work

This talk was recorded live at Anatha Fest, one of my favourite wellness-forward music and arts festivals in Canada. Anatha beautifully blends music, movement, community, personal growth, and conscious celebration into one unforgettable weekend. It's a place where you can dance all night, do yoga in the morning, meet incredible humans, and feel genuinely connected.
I'll be back this year with the Kanna Wellness booth, and I'd love to meet you there.
What do you actually do after a psychedelic experience ends… but the process doesn’t?
In this episode, I explore one of the most underrated tools for psychedelic integration: kanna — a legal, non-psychedelic, psychoactive plant that supports emotional regulation, mental clarity, and nervous system balance.
While psychedelics are known for their intensity, insight, and disruption, the reality is that most of the work happens after the experience in the messy, everyday moments. Integration can feel overwhelming, confusing, and hard to navigate.
This episode introduces kanna as a gentle, daily support tool that helps you stay with what’s already unfolding.
What you'll learn:
- What psychedelic integration really looks like beyond the peak experience
- Why integration can feel overwhelming
- What kanna is and how it works (SRI, PDE-4 inhibition, empathogenic effects)
- The difference between psychedelics vs. kanna
- How kanna supports nervous system regulation, mood, and mental clarity
- Why kanna is considered a sober-friendly alternative in social and recreational spaces
- The role of presence in integration — and why it matters more than insight
- How kanna can support identity rebuilding after psychedelic experiences
- Real-life ways to use kanna during integration

What happens when a psychedelic experience doesn’t expand your sense of self, but instead collapses it?
In this episode, I explore the reality of post-psychedelic identity crisis, also known as ontological shock or existential confusion. This is a deeply disorienting phase where your old sense of self no longer fits, leaving you questioning who you are, what you want, and how to move forward.
Drawing from my own experience nearly a year after Iboga, I share what this process actually feels like, and how to navigate it with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.
This episode offers grounded, practical psychedelic integration support for anyone experiencing anxiety, confusion, loss of identity, or emotional overwhelm after a psychedelic journey.
What you'll learn:
- What a post-psychedelic identity crisis is
- Why psychedelics can trigger ontological shock and ego destabilization
- Common symptoms: anxiety, low self-trust, confusion, lack of direction
- How to ground yourself when your sense of self feels unstable
- Mastering the mind and anxiety
- The importance of emotional care and nervous system regulation
- Activating sobriety and prioritize clarity
- How to reconnect with yourself through everyday life
- Why curating your inputs (social media, content) matters, and how to do it
- Reframing identity crisis as personal expansion and transformation

We often confuse power with control — being right, getting our way, influencing outcomes. But control isn’t power. It’s conditional, and it drains us.
In this episode, I explore a different definition: True power is the conscious exercise of choice. We talk about how trying to control people, outcomes, and timing actually gives our power away — and how choosing our perception, response, and energy brings it back.
This is especially relevant for anyone navigating growth or psychedelic integration. Insight alone doesn’t create change. Practicing choice does.
What You’ll Learn:
- The difference between control and conscious choice
- Why control burns energy
- How to shift from reaction to response
- Why space and pace are essential for integration
- How coaching helps you reclaim authorship of your energy

Released on my 35th birthday, this episode is a cozy conversation between me and one of my closest friends about iboga integration. We discuss what life has been like in the nine months since I had a shocking Iboga experience. One that allowed me to access the source of deepest shame within myself, after six years of working with psychedelic medicine. Since then, I have been given the opportunity to transform my relationship with that shame.
This is a cozy story time style episode where I reflect on everything I have been learning, integrating, releasing and opening up to, after iboga at etereo. I definitely haven't "figured it all out", and I am in still in process. This is a glimpse into it the inner work that helped me befriend my shadowiest shadow.

Beliefs aren’t real — and yet they shape our lives in very real ways.
In this opening episode of Season Six, Lana explores a paradox that sits at the very root of personal development, consciousness work, and psychedelic integration:
beliefs are not truth… yet they determine how we experience reality.
Lana breaks down what beliefs actually are (and what they aren’t), why we need them to function, and how outdated belief systems quietly run our lives long after they’ve stopped serving us.
This episode is an invitation to step out of unconscious patterning and into agency — to see your beliefs not as fixed truths, but as stories you are actively participating in, reinforcing, and therefore capable of updating.
As Lana explains, you may not be able to control everything that happens to you —but you can influence how you interpret it, the meaning you give it, and how you respond.
That’s the power of belief systems.
What You'll Learn:
- How beliefs differ from objective truth — yet why they still matter deeply
- How beliefs shape perception, energy, behavior, and results
- Why many of our core beliefs are inherited unconsciously in childhood
- How beliefs that once protected us often become the very things that limit us
- A real coaching story that illustrates how outdated beliefs create burnout and stagnation
- Why changing beliefs isn’t about “positive thinking,” but about alignment and agency

In this deeply inspiring instalment of The Journey series, Lana reconnects with her former coaching client Nadi Miri, a powerhouse architect, business owner, and newly minted PhD student whose transformation over the past year reveals what happens when we become the architects of our own inner world.
Through their conversation, Nadi reflects on how coaching helped her move from burnout, overextension, and people-pleasing into clarity, alignment, and authentic leadership. Together, they explore how Nadi redefined her relationship with money, boundaries, creativity, and self-worth—and how learning to say “no” became the foundation for saying a fuller “yes” to herself, her values, and her purpose.
Nadi’s story is one of courage, reflection, and self-reclamation: a reminder that transformation doesn’t come from fixing ourselves, but from consciously rebuilding our belief systems, mindset, and creative process to align with the truth of who we really are.
Topics Covered:
- How Nadi went from burnout and overwhelm to joy and creative flow
- Reconnecting with her true values after years of over-giving and people-pleasing

What is it like to spend a week in the deep jungle of Westen Africa, with nothing but a dirt floor, lots of Iboga, a skirt, and no necessities like water or a bed to rest in? In this intimate conversation, I welcome back my Iboga provider, and twice-initiated Bwiti practitioner Paije Alexandra West. With intention and care, Paije shares about her recent initiation into the Fang branch of the Bwiti tradition in Gabon. This is ultimately a conversation about what it means to walk the path of service with Iboga.
Paije shares carefully about her journey from working in ibogaine clinics to becoming a ceremonial iboga provider, and how initiation has shaped her life, her family, and her work with her retreat center, ETÈREO in Baja. She opens up about the realities of being a provider—the intensity, responsibility, and beauty of holding this medicine—and offers fresh insight into the role of women’s voices in the iboga space.

In this solo episode, we’re discussing a core insight from my own medicine path: the crucial energetic difference between healing and integration.
After years of ceremonies, coaching, and personal exploration, I realized that the constant search for healing was actually keeping me stuck in an identity of being “broken.” It wasn’t until very recently that I fully understood that wholeness doesn’t come from fixing, but from integrating who you already are.
This episode is an invitation to shift from a “healing orientation” rooted in victimhood and fixing, into an “integration orientation” rooted in authenticity, creativity, and self-acceptance.
Key Topics Covered:
- The trap of the “healing identity” and how it can keep us stuck
- My personal journey from Ayahuasca, to 5-MeO-DMT, to Iboga
- Why integration is about seeing, not seeking
- The difference between a healing orientation vs. an integration orientation
- Self-acceptance as the foundation of wholeness
- How reclaiming forgotten parts of ourselves—like play, creativity, and joy—is part of integration
- Practical reflections for recognizing when you’re fixing vs. truly integrating

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into a crucial topic that doesn’t get talked about enough: how to differentiate between fear and danger when working with psychedelics.
This episode was inspired by my coach training at iPEC and the powerful concept of Fearlessness—the idea that fear is a projection of the mind, not a present-moment truth.
Understanding the difference between fear and danger can literally be the difference between a transformative psychedelic experience and a traumatizing one. And the line between the two is not always clear—especially when psychological or energetic safety is involved.
Topics Covered:
- Why fear is natural (and even healthy) when approaching psychedelic work
- How danger shows up in the psychedelic space—from unsafe facilitators to inadequate screening
- Clear examples of fear vs. danger in ceremony settings
- Why mistaking one for the other could cost you transformation—or your safety
- How prep coaching can help you work with fear and protect yourself from danger

In perhaps my most raw episode yet, I share the recent experience of my second work with Iboga at Etéreo: Center for Truth in Baja, Mexico. As I recounted this journey, I shed many unexpected tears while reflecting on the resistance I faced, the shadows I had to confront, and the enormous clarity that emerged through this recent work with the Iboga medicine. With stern realness and my signature vulnerability, I discuss how Iboga worked on me as a sharp, clear mirror, showing me a part of myself I had long suppressed.
Guided by Paije A. West and her team, I was able to unearth and start bringing love and acceptance to the deep well of shame I had been working very diligently to keep hidden beneath the surface. This episode highlights the significance of preparation, the courage required to face the darkest aspects of ourselves, and the gifts that await when we’re willing to see ourselves clearly with Truth. This episode is a reflection on the beauty and intensity of the healing process, a declaration of love to Iboga, and an exploration of the journey towards radical self-acceptance.

In this solo episode, Lana dives into the often-overlooked phase of pre-work that occurs before a psychedelic ceremony or experience. Drawing on her own experiences as she prepares for her upcoming Iboga retreat, Lana explores how life often begins to feel chaotic and overwhelming as deep-seated emotions, traumas, and blockages rise to the surface in anticipation of the journey.

Lana shares personal insights, offers tips for navigating this challenging yet transformative phase, and provides guidance for those experiencing similar discomfort.
Topics Covered:
- The pre-work phase: what happens before the ceremony and why it’s crucial

"As we overcome our fears in medicine work, we also overcome our fears in life."
Welcome to SEASON 5! In this solo episode, we welcome the new year and explore the “medicine around the medicine”—those unexpected gifts that arise from working with psychedelics. Rather than focusing on the direct, intentional outcomes we seek through ceremonies, this conversation dives into the unintentional benefits that often unfold on the periphery. From discovering deeper devotion in our day-to-day lives, to enhancing our diets and fortifying relationships, these surprising transformations act as the welcomed “cherry on top” of our psychedelic journeys.
Lana shares personal insights about integrating medicines like ayahuasca, psilocybin, and iboga, highlighting how these experiences can spark inner trust and strengthen one’s connection to nature and spirituality. Listeners will also hear reflections on the value of patience, the courage required to confront fear, and how a long-term view of transformation can foster true metamorphosis. Whether you’re new to psychedelics or a seasoned explorer, this episode offers an inspiring reminder of how plant medicines can weave their wisdom into every aspect of life—often in ways we never expected.
Topics Covered:
- Cultivating devotion to what truly matters- Overcoming fear by facing the unknown- Embracing the long-term journey of transformation- Improved diet and physical well-being over time- Navigating shifts in friendships and relational dynamics- Deepening connection to nature and spirituality- Cultivating inner trust and honing intuition- Reflections on new beginnings and the power of intentions

Many of us experience ego death through psychedelics, but what happens when someone actually dies and returns to share their insights? Kyle Buller, co-founder of Psychedelics Today, had his life transformed at 16 after a traumatic snowboarding accident left him with a profound near-death experience (NDE). In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from navigating his NDE to exploring altered states of consciousness through psychedelics, transpersonal psychology, and Holotropic Breathwork.
Kyle and Lana discuss how these extraordinary states can catalyze personal transformation, the critical importance of integration, and why taking time to slow down is essential for practitioners and explorers alike. In the meat of this conversation, they also explore the concept of spiritual emergence, a phenomenon where transformative experiences can lead to personal crises or growth, and how to navigate the fine line between awakening and overwhelm. Together, they examine the responsibility of psychedelic work and the need for cultural frameworks to support those undergoing these profound shifts.
Topics Covered:
- Gaps in the psychedelic education space
- Supporting individuals through different phases of psychedelic work
- Why bother having an expanded state of consciousness
- How to make the most out of challenging psychedelic experiences
- Pumping the breaks on transformational work and grounding into the everyday
- How Kyles NDE at age 16 changes his perspective on life and death
- Spiritual emergence and emergency: when mystical experiences create crisis
- Common symptoms, challenges and experiences during a spiritual emergence
- Ego Inflation as Spiritual Emergency
- Advocates of psychedelics need to be honest about the challenges
- Kyle’s deeply destabilizing experience with LSD (depersonalization & derealization)

In this episode, we dive into the unspoken and messy realities of working with psychedelics. While many conversations focus on the profound healing and life-changing potential of these substances, this episode balances that narrative with some grounded real world truths. Lana explores how psychedelics offer us not a quick fix for our suffering, but rather a fulfilling lifelong journey of self-discovery and transformation that requires dedication and deep personal work. It’s a path that demands preparation, integration, and a willingness to confront difficult emotions and uncomfortable truths about oneself.
Throughout the episode, Lana emphasizes that psychedelics will often show you what you don’t want to see, and that healing is not always pleasant or straightforward. From the importance of integration to the understanding that sometimes psychedelics can make things worse before they get better, this discussion serves as a reality check for those considering psychedelics as part of their healing journey. If you're ready to hear the unsexy, raw side of psychedelics, this episode offers insights from Lana’s years of experience and from others on the path.
Topics Covered:
- The need for some harsh and uncomfortable real world insights about psychedelics
- Psychedelics are a doorway to a lifelong journey of self discovery and healing (not a quick fix)
- The role of prep and integration to ground in the work
- Why this work is inherently spiritual
- Why science will never be able to fully understand psychedelics
- Meeting your (uncomfortable) growth edge with psychedelics
- Engaging in psychedelic work is a very personal decision
- Sometimes psychedelics make things worse

In this fourth episode of The Journey series, I interview a former coaching client, Kimberly, who shares her transformative journey of integrating coaching with her Plant Path. Based in New York City, Kimberly shares her connection to her intuition, her dedication to the natural world, and her efforts to build a community space for healing. Through her diet with the master plants, Noya Rao and Ayahuasca, and subsequent coaching, she explores moving from healing to transformation and the importance of intuition and energetic flow state.
Together, we discuss the nuances of energy work, the significance of integration, and the interplay between shadow work and entrepreneurial pursuits. Kimberly emphasizes the importance of rest, community, and listening to one's body in the integration process. As a student at Columbia University, she teaches others how to excavate their inner knowing while building her project, HAI House, a community space to offer integrative healing services. The episode concludes with Kimberly reflecting on her ongoing journey and the importance of living a fully integrated life.
Topics Covered:

In this episode, I am focusing on Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, two of the most potent substances known to humankind. This episode is to serve as a guide for people who are unsure of which heavy hitting psychedelic to work with. My theory is that while these two medicines are complete polar opposites, together, they offer a whole and complete picture of what this human existence is all about. Both help us answer important questions from different angles.
I provide an in-depth comparison of Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, discussing:
- what the medicine is
- origin
- ethical considerations
- use cases
- the experience
- duration
- energy of the medicine
- preparation process
- integration considerations
- physical effects
- who it's best suited for
- how to know if you're ready for each one.

We’re diving into a topic that hasn’t been publicly explored in the psychedelic space yet: the innovative intersection of psychedelic facilitation and the doula model of care. Paije Alexandra West is bringing this forward for us today as an international retreat host, experienced psychedelic facilitator, and trained doula. Paije shares her thoughts on how the principles of doula care can be seamlessly integrated into psychedelic work to create compassionate, supportive, and transformative experiences.
Paije educates us on the guiding principles of the doula model, emphasizing the importance of advocacy, mindful presence, and compassionate support in psychedelic facilitation. She discusses the advantages this model offers to Western medicine providers, particularly around how this approach allows Westerners to serve (some) psychedelic medicines without appropriating cultures that don’t belong to us. Paije also shares her personal journey, balancing her roles as a mother and a facilitator, and offers invaluable advice for those considering a path in psychedelic facilitation. Join us as we uncover the potential of the doula model to revolutionize the way we approach psychedelic healing and support.

Six months ago, I had my most profound and impactful psychedelic experience yet. I smoked 5-MeO-DMT, left my body, somatically released stuck energy, and experienced the infinite love of the universe. This experience set me on an integration journey that has up-levelled my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. In this episode, I'm excited to share the details of my integration journey over these past six months. While there have been many ups and downs, the overall impact on my life and energy has been immensely positive.
Throughout this episode, I’m highlighting that this very powerful medicine isn't just about the psychedelic experience itself but also about the integration process that follows. 5-MeO-DMT "set me straight" by opening me to unconditional love and regulating my nervous system. The energy in my heart is flowing freely into my work and has even empowered my relationship with money. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as I am sharing eight tangible ways my life has changed as a result of my 5-Meo-DMT experience at Enfold Institute. Enjoy!
Topics Covered:
- Transformation with psychedelics isn’t about just the medicine
- 5-MeO-DMT “set me straight” and opened me to unconditional love
- The ups and downs during these first six months of integration
- Changes to my nervous system and sensitivity
- The energy in my heart is flowing into my work
- An empowered relationship with spending and receiving money
- The activation of my “super awareness”
- Changes to my health, wellness and lifestyle

What in the world is a psychedelics podcast doing talking about “personal style” and fashion?! This has to be the first. But discovering your personal style is identity work that requires vulnerability. It’s a deeply meaningful journey of self discovery. If you don’t see the connection now, then you will by the end of this podcast.
In this episode, I am introducing a concept around the different stages of psychedelic integration: There is the “heavy lifting” stage where we’re doing deep work to significantly improve our lives, followed by the “refinement” stage which is a lighter process of fine tuning.
For me, this refinement process is showing up in my journey to discover my personal style. The misalignment between my identity and my wardrobe has come up a few times during psychedelic journeys, and I am finally addressing it so that the outside is a true reflection of my inside. I also make the connection between the responsibility to find your personal style, living a values-based life, and sustainable consumption.
Topics Covered:
- The “heavy lifting” vs “refinement” stages of psychedelic integration
- The connection between life satisfaction and values-alignment
- How refinement is showing up for me through personal style
- How personal style came up during my psychedelic experiences
- Why I stopped caring about fashion during my healing chapter
- Why I started caring about fashion again after my healing chapter
- Fast fashion overconsumption as a result of not knowing my personal style
- My core values that are aligned with knowing my personal style
- My journey to discover my personal style so far
- Consumption habits and making wise purchase decisions

She is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side.
Topics Covered:
- Jesse’s mindset and intentions before her challenging 5-MeO-DMT experience
- The core “unlovable” wound Jesse healed during her experience
- Slipping into a depression and panic during integration
- Opening the floodgates and processing a lifetime of repressed pain
- Coping when coping mechanisms no longer works

"Behavior change is identity change." When it comes to psychedelics, our identity changes, but our behaviors have yet to catch up. The process of aligning your behaviors with your true self can be a part of psychedelic integration.

Integrating lifestyle change is some of the slowest, most challenging, and grueling work. In this episode, I am sharing ten tips you can try out to make your desired lifestyle changes stick.
Topics Covered:
- The connection between identity change and lifestyle change
- Why psychedelics propel us to make lifestyle changes
- Finding out the why behind the changes you’d like to make
- High impact “domino effect” habits
- The importance of pacing with lifestyle changes
- The benefits of making the change & the costs of not making the change
- Enlisting support and being witnessed during your transformation
- Time management and organization during change

Get your notebook out because you’re going to want to take notes from this episode. Today I am providing education on the seven levels of consciousness that you need to know if you are on a healing journey or on the path of transformation. This information has the potential to empower the way that you perceive yourself and the world around you. It will also trigger insight into some of your limiting beliefs and energetic blockages that might be keeping you stuck in life.
I'm going to share with you the seven levels of consciousness, and I am going to tell you about a research validated tool that will help you understand your own “energetic profile”. The iPEC seven levels of consciousness framework is the coaching methodology I use in my work, and it happens to pair brilliantly with psychedelics.
Topics Covered:
- How the seven levels of consciousness are useful for your journey
- Anabolic versus Catabolic energy
- Why there is not “good” or “bad” and why we need access to all the levels
- Detailed information about each level of consciousness, from 1 to 7
- The advantages and disadvantages at each level
- A research validated tool for measuring your energetic profile
- How to use this framework with psychedelics

The women of the psychedelic underground stand in stark contrast to psychedelic therapists, clinicians and researchers. In some ways, they hold much more wisdom and knowledge about working with these medicines. It’s an honor to have Dr. Rachel Harris back on the podcast to discuss this. Since we last spoke, she has released a new book called Swimming in the Sacred: Lessons from the Psychedelic Underground.
This is one of the most important books written about psychedelics, as it shines a light on the wisdom and work done by elder women psychedelic guides. Dr. Rachel Harris has been in private practice for 40 years as a psychologist. Later in her career, she began exploring psychedelics for healing and transformation. In this conversation, we dissect what exactly transformation is, and the qualities that these underground elder guides have, making them so effective at facilitating transformation (which is very different from healing).
Listen in for a chance to win a copy of Swimming in the Sacred!
Topics Covered:
- The difference between a transformation and the therapeutic process
- Signs of transformation that psychedelic guides look for
- How underground guides transition from their healing journey to guiding
- Differences between underground guides and psychedelic therapists
- How underground guides view integration
- Psychedelics and plant medicine as a way of life
- Navigating the “subtle realms” and expanded states of consciousness
- The quality of fearlessness in psychedelics guides
- Being aware of ego inflation as a psychedelic guide

This episode is so personal and vulnerable that I am almost uncomfortable sharing it publicly. I share my entire life story and my healing journey out of the darkness. I take listeners through the formation of my core wounds and self-destructive narratives, which ultimately left me depressed, anxious, lost, and disempowered to move my life forward in a positive direction.
But that’s only half of the story. The second half is the documentation of my healing journey with therapy, medicine work and self-discovery. By sharing these details, I am shining a light of the gift of the struggle. Most of my life has been an uphill battle, but in recent years I have reached a place of peace, happiness and fulfillment. And most of all, gratitude for it ALL!
Please consume this episode with nothing but love, as the specifics shared are very vulnerable and done with the aim of inspiring and giving hope to others who are also struggling in life. One thing is for sure: It’s possible to get to the other side, and life can be better than you ever thought possible.
Topics Covered:
- Being born into a war and fleeing the country
- The refugee experience as a young girl
- My first portal into self awareness and reflection
- My first taste of rejection and comparison energy
- Early experiences using alcohol & drugs to self-medicate
- How cystic acne and my weight made my self-confidence plummet
- The development of my core wounding & self-destructive narratives
- Struggles with finding my career path and purpose
- My first ever experience with MDMA & how I changed
- Grad school: my dark night of the soul + mental health hell
- The moment everything crashed and the misalignment became clear
- Being a doormat in romantic relationships
- Recovering from codependent patterns & loss of love
- Replacing psychotherapy with Ayahuasca
- How Microdosing and coaching started moving me forward

Dr. Rick Strassman is gracing us with his wisdom today! He has appeared on the #1 global show, The Joe Rogan podcast, so it’s quite a treat for us to hear from him on this corner of the podcasting world.
Dr. Rick Strassman needs no introduction: he is the leading global authority on DMT. About twenty years ago, he authored the infamous book discussing the DMT trails he ran in the early 80s (DMT: The Spirit Molecule). In this episode, you can expect to learn a lot about nn-DMT (not to be confused with 5-MeO-DMT). Rick educates us on what we know about this mysterious psychedelic, the phenomenology, scientific literature, and its therapeutic potential.
Stick around until the end because we have a lot of fun talking about recreational psychedelic experiences, and he tells us the story of how Terence McKenna served him his first DMT dose. We also announce a giveaway for his latest book The Psychedelic Handbook.
Topics Covered:
- What drew Dr. Strassman to study DMT
- His DMT trials that took place in the early 1990s
- What a typical DMT experience is like
- nn-DMT vs 5-MeO-DMT
- What we know about endogenous DMT
- The mysterious role of endogenous DMT in the human brain
- Scientific literature looking at DMT as a therapeutic
- Who is DMT for?

Cannabis is a slippery slope: It feels like addiction and over-indulgence are always around the corner. But for the most part, I’ve developed a practice and relationship with cannabis that has been supportive to my life. In this episode, I reflect on my relationship with the plant, how it’s changed, and the role it played in my overall healing journey.
While getting high is fun and has its place, cannabis really taught me to enjoy my time alone and explore my inner landscape. It’s also been instrumental as a creative and expressive tool while producing this podcast. I also present the advantages and potential pitfalls of cannabis, and finding a personal balance with usage. The episode further touches on my change in cannabis consumption patterns over time, my favorite consumption method, and cannabis usage in a social setting.
Topics Covered:
- The role of cannabis during my healing journey
- Learning to be alone & love myself
- My personal relationship with cannabis
- Cannabis as a tool for psychedelic integration
- Cannabis for creativity and podcast production
- Social consumption of cannabis
- Cannabis instead of alcohol

This conversation covers details about 5-MeO-DMT that have not yet been explored seriously in the public sphere. We go far beyond the basics of this medicine as Steve Rio and I explore the nuances and complexities of the non-dual experience and integration process that follows. We also get into the somatic and nervous system benefits of this medicine.
Steve Rio’s understanding of this medicine has matured and deepened since we last dropped in three years ago (for episode 8; a great episode to learn the basics around 5-MeO-DMT). Steve is the co-founder of Enfold Institute, a place to experience a safe and sacred 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. He is a true embodiment of this medicine: humble, direct, pure and speaks from the heart.
We recorded this conversation in late January, two months into my integration process at a time when I was really awakening to how powerful this medicine is. I share a few stories of some intense reactivations post-journey, and what I’ve been learning and integrating.
Enjoy this raw and clear conversation — just like 5-MeO-DMT.
Topics Covered:
- How 5-MeO-DMT differs from other psychedelics
- How to make sense of a non-dual experience in a dual world
- Tension while integrating an awakening experience
- Dissecting the non-dual experience
- Energetic release and nervous system reset
- The rebirth experience during 5-MeO-DMT
- How 5-MeO-DMT makes one more sensitive & the gift of sensitivity
- Opening up to and allowing all of life’s experiences
- How to know if you’re ready for 5-MeO-DMT
- Maintaining accountability and ethics as a 5-MeO-DMT facilitator
- The benefits of having visual documentation from a 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
- Reactivations after a 5-MeO-DMT experience, even months after
- Increased sensitivity to other substances after 5-MeO-DMT
- The responsibility that come with awakening to non-duality

My guest today is Mikaela de la Myco. I was drawn to the way she presents herself as a mother in the psychedelic space through her platform, Mama de la Myco. I had every intention in having a conversation with her about psychedelic parenting. However, I threw out all my questions out the window and followed Mikaela’s energy; it was clear that Mikaela had so much to share with us about centering mothers, women, and indigenous voices in the psychedelic movement.
She lends us a perspective around how the psychedelic mainstream movement is falling short, and the reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry. In addition, we talk about how mushrooms are helping mothers through the challenges of the postpartum period, and how psychedelics might be useful for families.
Mikaela is currently pouring into the Mushrooms and Moms survey with support from Dr. Jim Fadiman and the Microdosing Institute. This project is surveying mothers and birthing people who consumed psilocybin mushrooms throughout their motherhood and parenting journey in order to accumulate a body of evidence for effects of psilocybin on birthing people, women and their children. If you’re a mother or birthing person, please consider contributing to this, linked n the show notes.
Topics Covered:
- The intersection of medicine woman, psychedelic mom and sacred hoe
- What is MushWomb?

I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full release. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I let you in on the unfiltered details and share vulnerably about what drew me to this experience, the challenges I faced working with this medicine, how it went and what I learned.
5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. I experienced this as "light medicine," as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. It was the single most mystical, holy, out of this world experience of my life, and I am still making sense of it.
I also debrief on how the retreat unfolded at Enfold Institute, where I went for this medicine.
For me, 5-MeO-DMT felt like that medicine I’ve been preparing for with all my other medicine work. If you are curious about this pure entheogenic medicine, tune in and perhaps plant a seed for you future self. Strap in, because we’re about to go on a ride together.
Topics Covered:
- What is 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo?
- How I received the call to 5-MeO-DMT
- My intentions for the 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony
- My reflections on the retreat experience at Enfold
- Full details on my 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
- The “White Out” aka losing consciousness during 5-MeO-DMT
- Detailed recall of my physical somatic release
- Existential insights, takeaways and questions from my journey
- How my life purpose has changed after 5-MeO-DMT
- “Reactivations” after ceremony
- Unhealthy habits I’ve released since 5-MeO-DMT
- My first month of integration

What is a challenging psychedelic experience? It turns out that it’s incredibly subjective. What one person finds challenging or bad, another may see as a growth opportunity.

These include but are not limited to: Derealization and depersonalization, post-ecstatic blues, and alienation. We also have a fascinating conversation around sense making, when psychedelics ignite an existential paradigm shift, and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences.
Jules is a a researcher, writer, historian of ideas and practical philosopher. He is interested in ideas and practices which help being suffer less and flourish more. He has written two books, and is currently devoting his energy to the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project — researching psychedelic harm reduction, ethics and integration. They are currently researching post-trip difficulties and what helps people deal with them.
Topics Covered:
- Jules’ traumatic encounter with psychedelics
- The good and bad of ecstatic experiences
- How we relate to ecstatic experiences
- Are challenging trips really always the most valuable?
- What constitutes a “challenging” or “bad” trip?
- Possible predictive factors for challenging experiences with psychedelics
- Derealization and depersonalization after psychedelic experiences
- Dealing with “post-ecstatic blues” after peak experiences
- Alienation and lack of connection after psychedelic experiences

Expect to learn a lot, be inspired by Andrew's presence, and be straight-up entertained with his “war on drugs” era stories.
Topics covered:
- Andrew’s 40 years of bringing cannabis & psychedelics out of the shadows
- How Cannabis lifted Andrew out of depression during his teen years

After 30+ ayahuasca journeys, I finally got to experience the Shipibo medicine with a direct lineage. It was a beautiful experience and a lot has changed for me since then. Overall, I feel ligher, brighter, and more comfortable in my skin. In this episode, I am giving you an integration update: what exactly has changed for me, what steps have I taken to integrate the insights, and what's different about me as a person?
I hope this episode inspire you to continue to learn and grow with plant medicines. I started sitting with ayahuasca years ago when I was totally broken, and even though I am not in that place anymore, the plants continue to teach and guide me. No matter where we are in our journey, the plants have so much to teach us.

Could this succulent from South Africa be a daily ally for managing anxiety and depression? Research says yes. Some of the active alkaloids found in Kanna have been well researched and are now prescribed for treating such mental health conditions. Not only is Kanna well researched, it is also legal and has very low risk profile.
Kanna is an empathogen, meaning it increases feelings of connection and empathy towards oneself and others. Rather than being a deep and intense psychedelic experience, Kanna is more often used as a gentle daily support. While it has been used ceremonially in high doses within indigenous cultures, Kanna also offers support as a supplement (microdose) rather than a high dose experience.
Delivering all this fascinating information to us is Ryan Latreille, founder of TWO Kanna companies. He tell us everything we need to know about this plant, in addition to how it has a use case in recreational settings, replacing other more toxic substances. We also cover indigenous use, contraindications, empathogens vs psychedelics, and so much more!
I am SO excited about Kanna, and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Don't forget to share it with a friend who might find this information valuable!
Topics covered:
- Ryan’s story and how he got involved with Kanna
- What is kanna?
- Kanna as a therapeutic for depression and anxiety
- Kanna as a recreational experience
- How the Khoi and San people have traditionally worked with Kanna
- How Kanna Extract Co is working with traditional communities in South Africa
- What is an empathogen and why they’re so healing
- Active alkaloids in Kanna & how they impact you
- Kanna dosing guidelines
- Kanna for microdosing or a daily supplement

Let's talk about Kanna! This is a legal, safe and well-researched plant medicine from South Africa. In today's episode, Jenny and I are giving you an introduction to this little succulent, and sharing about our experience microdosing Kanna.
Kanna is a psychedelic-adjacent plant that is psycho-active but classified as an empathogen rather than a psychedelic. Still, there are many benefit to working with it in a similar way we work with psychedelics. It is a heart-opening medicine that invites us to slow down and ease stress.
As the season are changing, we are both experiencing a time of transition, which is the perfect time to do a microdosing protocol. The best part? Kanna is completely legal and accessible within North America. Stay tuned for a future episode where I will be interviewing a Kanna expert for a much deeper dive into this medicine.
Topics covered:
- How to know its time to do a microdosoing protocol
- Microdosing to ease transitional periods

PUBLISHERS NOTE: As of January 2024, I can no longer recommend Reunion as a place to experience plant medicine. See full statement HERE. This does not pertain to the guests in the episode, whom I still endorse as medicine providers.
Ayahuasca and Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are a beautiful gift to humanity. As we explore these medicines in the West, we need to remember that we are entering a cultural paradigm that is different from our own. In this interview with Sr. Program Directors at Reunion Experience, we explore how we can show up to medicine in a good way.
If you want to enter medicine spaces with respect, reverence, and reciprocity for the cultures that these medicines come from, this conversation is for you. This convo is extremely valuable for current or aspiring space holders in the world of plant medicine, AND, for participants in plant medicine circles.
I had an opportunity to visit Reunion in Costa Rica, and realized that it's a truly special place. The fact that it's a not for profit center is the tip of the iceberg. Medicine is truly guiding the way the Reunion team operates: With deep humility, grace, reverence and respect for the cultures, plant teachers, and the Way of Nature.
Karina and Julian are not speaking on behalf of any of the lineages they work with, rather from their experiences as students and cultural bridges.
Topics covered:
- How they both got involved with facilitating plant medicine experiences
- A little bit about Reunion Experience in Costa Rica, a not for profit plant medicine center
- Building relationship with different Wisdom Keepers and teachers
- Reciprocity and the art of giving and receiving under a not for profit model
- What it means and looks like to put people and the planet over profit
- What is a cultural bridge & how to be one
- The path of studentship with direct indigenous wisdom keepers
- What does respect in medicine spaces mean?
- Plant medicine as a relationship, not a tool
- Land stewardship & devotion to the elements
- Creating narrative neutral spaces for exploring spirituality

Jennifer Chesak is an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist, editor, and fact-checker based in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned her master of science degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill. And her work has appeared in the Washington Post, Healthline, Better Homes and Gardens, The Daily Beast, B*tch, and more.
Her most recent book is The Psilocybin Handbook for Women: How Magic Mushrooms, Psychedelic Therapy, and Microdosing Can Benefit Your Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Health. Her mission here as a journalist stems from being a woman who has been fed up with women being left behind by the medical system. In this episode she shares some of the events that led her to psilocybin, and writing this book.
Jennifer actually interviewed me for the set and setting chapter of this book, so you can find me in chapter 10! I wanted to bring her on the show to share everything she’s learned while writing this book. She has a wealth of information from how to microdose and trip sit to understanding the latest psychedelic research, and incorporating indigenous wisdom. The Psilocybin Handbook for Women is a resource for everyone, although it features information specific to those assigned female at birth—because psychedelics may have different effects and applications across the sexes.
Topics covered:
- Why do we need a book on psilocybin for women?
- Health condition women tend to self-treat with psilocybin
- Ways psilocybin affects women differently than men
- How psychedelics affect the menstrual cycle
- Can psilocybin regulate the menstrual cycle?
- Microdosing mushrooms and the menstrual cycle
- The optimal menstrual phase to have a mushroom journey
- Two Eyed Seeing: Bridging science and ingenious wisdom
- Psilocybin for people who are breastfeeding or pregnant
- How parents are managing working with psychedelics
- Can psilocybin boost your sex life?

It’s the ketamine episode you’ve been waiting for! Ketamine is not technically a (classic) psychedelic, yet it behaves like one. Many researchers and scientists in the psychedelic space consider it to be a psychedelic, and are applying the psychedelic assisted psychotherapy model to its use.
This episode is a treasure trove of information for those who are considering ketamine for treatment, and those who want to learn more about this “chameleon” drug. Delivering this information is Dr. Kyle Greenway; a highly respected ketamine researcher and psychiatrist. He keeps a low profile, so it was truly special to have him on the show.
Dr. Greenway is a psychiatrist and assistant professor at McGill University. He completed a research fellowship at Imperial's psychedelic research centre and co-led the development of two academic clinics utilizing ketamine in treatment-resistant depression. These clinics are amongst the only services in the world to provide ketamine-assisted therapy in public healthcare systems.
Beyond his academic accolades, Dr. Greenway is very fun to learn from. I promise you that even though this conversation is highly academic, we had a lot of fun talking about serious subject matter.
Topics covered:
- What is Ketamine? & its history
- Why Ketamine is so dose-dependent
- Why Ketamine is a “chameleon” drug
- How Ketamine started to be used for mental health conditions
- Ketamine vs classic psychedelics
- The “after glow” / anti-depressive effect
- Risks with abusing ketamine, such as “ketamine bladder”
- Who and what ketamine is effective for
- Why the “inner healing intelligence” might be harmful
- What a ketamine treatment protocol looks like
- The future of psychedelic assisted therapy and ketamine

Welcome to The Journey: A series that shines a light on real people on their psychedelic journey. In this episode, I am interviewing my dear coaching client, Samantha Mlinar, about her psychedelic journey. She shares very generously about her fierce transformation over the last year.
Sam has cleared and transformed so many energy blocks around people pleasing, the inner critic, body image, mediocre wellness, and attachments to outcomes. She has been able to use psychedelics, coaching and other tools to move forward fiercely in her career, romantic relationship, friendships, and other areas.
The Psychedelic Path is all about discovering who you are and finding the tools that work for YOU. Sams journey of letting go of what wasn’t meant for her and opening up to new possibilities will inspire anyone who is feeling stuck.

- Working through people pleasing and over-giving
- Creating space for oneself to grow

Beloved Iboga Provider Levi Barker is back! We recorded this episode live in person in Costa Rica, while I was visiting Iboga Wellness Center in May 2023. In this episode, we go deeper into exploring this beautiful medicine and the Bwiti tradition. If you are considering working with Iboga or want to learn more, this episode is full of information that isn’t available elsewhere.
The Bwiti tradition is the study of life, and we are so lucky that Levi is sharing a little bit about it with us today. This is something that is typically only reserved for those on on Bwiti Iboga retreat. We talk about how this medicine helps us find truth by simplifying the time.
Levi also provides some reflections on changes he has seen in me since my ceremonies 6 months ago. And, he plays the Mongongo for us on the show — which is a traditional Bwiti instrument. Enjoy this one! See show notes for more on my full review of IWC and to connect with Levi.
Topics covered:
- Levi’s story: How he healed his opiate addition with Iboga & trained to become a provider
- Do you need to have experience with other medicine before Iboga?
- Iboga’s gift of truth and simplicity
- The difference between the Truth and beliefs
- How Bwiti use the mind as a tool & confirm truth
- The difference between having positive and negative beliefs
- The one law — the Law of Nature — in the Bwiti tradition
- Ways we abuse ourselves and lose our happiness
- Levi’s reflection on my Iboga Journey
- How Levi works with Iboga as a provider
- The future of Iboga and expanding access
- The Mongongo Bwiti instrument (and a live performance from Levi!)

Psychedelic integration is deeply personal. There's no guidebook.

- There is no destination, there is only the journey
- How to maintain judgment over curiosity during integration
- Meaning-making matters & how to create powerful meaning

Anyone who has worked with Iboga (or ibogaine) or is feeling the call will gain a lot of valuable information in this episode. It’s not a secret that there are severe sustainability issues with this powerful medicine. Not only is the medicine (the Iboga tree) being threatened, but so is the cultural heritage underpinning it.
Blessings of the Forest (BOTF) is non-profit organization working on the ground with the Gabonese to preserve, research and share knowledge about the medicinal plants and indigenous traditions of the Gabonese forest people for the benefit of all of humanity. Their impact is beyond planting iboga trees: they are working with the Gabonese to define and uphold right relationship with Westerners who want to work with Iboga.
This is a beautiful episode full of nuanced information about Iboga, Bwiti and Gabon. I interviewed David Nassim, BOTF’s co-director, who was so generous in his sharing. He took us through how the Western World has put a huge strain on access to Iboga for the Gabonese, and offers solutions such as upholding the Nagoya protocol, Voacanga Africana as a sustainable ibogaine alternative, and more importantly, really listening to what the Gabonese want and need.
Please donate to BOFT, with only 30 Euros you can sponsor an Iboga tree to be planted in Gabon. If you have worked with Iboga, it’s advised that you sponsor 3-5 trees.
PRODUCTION NOTE: The last few minutes of David’s mic is lower quality, but hang in there for his parting words of wisdom.

Many of us start our transformational journey with therapy, and while it’s effective, it’s also a limited modality. In this episode with psychotherapist Sonia Hsieh, we address some of the limitations of the therapeutic container and explore how plant medicine containers fill those gaps.
One of the major shortcomings of therapy is that trust can be difficult to build between a therapist and client. Sonia and I explore how plant medicine, on the other hand, can teach us to trust ourselves, trust the plant we’re sitting with, and then in turn trust life. We speak on many other nuances between psychotherapy and plant medicine.
Sonia Hsieh is a psychotherapist located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Costa Rica. Formerly trained in psychoanalytic and insight-oriented approaches to therapy, Sonia began to make the transition to psychedelics in 2020, as well as writing and publishing articles for "Field Trip Health" and "Psychedelic.Support". In the fall of 2021, she completed the MAPS mdma-therapy training program and in 2022 began assisting at Iboga Wellness. Currently, Sonia is in training and assisting at Iboga Wellness in Costa Rica and guides clients using psilocybin and mdma.
I was blessed to have Sonia literally hold my hand during my iboga ceremonies at Iboga Wellness, so it was such a joy to drop in with this medicine sister today. You will love dropping into this chat between two iboga sisters exploring the depths of being on the medicine path.

I wish I had the information in this podcast years ago when I was stuck in the never-ending healing journey. This conversation is a call move away from hyper-individualism and instead turn “one eye inwards, and one eye outward.”
Adam spent more than four years conducting research and extensive fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, where he also facilitated Ayahuasca workshops in the context of shamanic and medical tourism. He is the creator of Healing from Healing, a social media platform that casts a critical, skeptical and humorous gaze at Healing Culture.
Adam has insights and reflections based on his years of experience overseeing participants of ayahuasca ceremonies. He challenges the commonly heard (harmful) narratives, sense-making and spiritual orientations of medicine guides.
This episode will give you a fresh perspective of the healing journey. Once we get over how triggering it is to call out our own “psychedelic narcissism,” we can see an alternative path; one that is oriented towards not just the individual, but the social, cultural and environmental systems that need healing just as much as individuals do.
Topics covered:
- Psychedelic Narcissism: what is it & how to spot it
- The dangers in sense-making psychedelic experiences as absolute Truth
- The dangers of going into psychedelic experiences with the narrative of healing childhood trauma
- How the orientation of medicine providers primes certain experiences
- Creating narrative-neutral medicine spaces
- Hyper-individualism and con-spirituality within plant medicine culture
- The link between individual health and cultural, social and environmental health
- Transitioning into service from the “never-ending healing journey”
- How control and fear of uncertainty perpetrate psychedelic narcissism

It’s time to lift the snobbery of the psychedelic space and accept that recreational spaces are just as valid, beautiful, healing and meaningful as ceremonial or therapeutic spaces. Creating meaningful recreational experiences comes down to pscyho-education, preparation, following harm reduction protocols, set, and setting (no surprise there).
Join me for this incredible episode with DanceSafe, a non-profit committed to ending the drug war and promoting health and safety within nightlife and music communities.
Jessica Breemen, Chief Growth & Impact Officer at DanceSafe, gives us important risk reduction and benefit maximization information for the recreational setting. The purpose of this episode is to provide accurate and potentially life saving information information; it is not intended to promote drug use, rather, to shine a light on the reality of recreational containers, which is so far from the “drug-war” narrative.
As we move into social acceptance of psychedelics, I believe that it’s crucial that we do not stigmatize certain types of use while allowing others. Humans have been altering their consciousness with a wide variety of substances forever, and will continue to do so. It makes no sense to gatekeep and stigmatize certain substances while allowing other largely toxic and harmful ones — alcohol — to be so freely used and accepted.
Topics covered:
- This history and mission behind DanceSafe
- Stigmas and myths about recreational drug use
- The reality of adulteration and how to reduce risk
- Early signs of dependency & problematic use to look out for
- Harm reduction tips to employ for all substances
- Risk education & benefit maximization protocols for MDMA, Ketamine, LSD and Mushrooms
- The importance of mindset and community when engaging in recreational psychedelics
- How to properly “test before you ingest” with reagents
- What you need to know about Fentanyl
- The sacredness of (safe) nightlife culture/the rave & why preserving it is important

"Iboga shows you the truth. And when you see the truth you’re not confused anymore. And when you’re not confused anymore, life becomes easier and lighter."
The highly anticipated part 2 of my Iboga experience is here! If you missed part 1, I suggest you listen to that first over at episode 45. I recorded this two months after this experience and my love and respect for this medicine continues to deepen. This was a life changing, life affirming experience and I don't think I will ever be the same after iboga.
In this episode, I share about the second iboga ceremony at Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. It was a wildly different experience from the first one, and I learned about what true inner peace means and how to access it. The beautiful thing about this experience was that I was already starting to integrate new behaviours during the retreat.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, firstly, to the Bwiti people who have opened their doors to Westerners, and allowing us to receive the iboga medicine and learn about the bwiti way of living. Thank you to Levi & Iboga Wellness for such a beautiful, safe and transformational experience. Thank you to the land & and Earth. Lastly, thank you to all the people involved with holding iboga & bwiti in reverence, and especially to those working to safeguard both the sacred wood and the bwiti culture. I bow to you. Bassé!
If you want to learn more or visit Iboga Wellness Center, visit their website or get in touch with Levi HERE.
What I talked about:
- Precautions, disclaimers, and sustainability issues around working with iboga
- Recounting days 4-8 at Iboga Wellness Center
- Accessing ultimate peace of mind in my second ceremony
- Battling the ego that wants a “cool” psychedelic experience

Today we are going to be exploring something that is on the cutting edge of spirituality and personal growth these days- darkness retreats. This consists of spending three to ten days in the pitch darkness and solitude. It’s a profound experience that is very psychedelic (without the substances).
It comes as no surprise that darkness therapy is an ancient modality that has been used by ancient indigenous peoples across the globe. Only recently has it reached North America, and the founder of the first darkness retreat in America is today's guest.
Scott Berman is the creator and founder of Sky Cave Retreats. Throughout the last decade, he has spent over two years in self-guided solo retreats in remote wilderness. He did his first dark retreat in 2012 and has spent over 70 days in multiple darkness retreats and has also done a couple with his wife. He has supported and facilitated over 250 dark retreats at his center in Ashland, Oregon.
We talk about the similarities and differences between darkness medicine and plant medicine, endogenous DMT production in the darkness, redefining spirituality, and so much more.
FREE MASTERCLASS on Feb. 8: Microdosing & Flow State
Topics covered:
- What darkness retreats are & the ancient indigenous roots
- Reasons why someone might want to go into the darkness
- How the darkness teaches us to simply be, allow, rest, and surrender
- Releasing & redefining what spirituality is “supposed to” look like
- How a darkness retreat generally unfolds & common learnings from the darkness
- How the darkness humbles us and challenges the spiritual ego
- Similarities and differences between darkness medicine and plant medicine
- Endogenous DMT production & psychedelic visions during darkness retreats

The recreational use of psychedelics is a deeply meaningful experience for many people yet there is a lot of shame around it. The spiritual community loves to knock partying as “low vibe” which is downright incorrect; some of my most beautiful memories have been at parties and on dance floors. These FUN experiences are equally as valid as the therapeutic ones.
It's time to break the stigma around the recreational use of psychedelics.
This episode is an important listen regardless of whether you party with psychedelics or not. By consuming this information you will be a part of breaking the stigma around ALL types of intentional and safe psychedelic use. As long as we are educated, safe and intentional, there is nothing wrong with psychedelics in a recreational context. In fact, it can enrich our lives and provide deep meaning and connections.
I brought on two of my friends and dance floor comrades, Jenalle and Kevin, to explore this topic. Jenny is doing amazing work in the psychedelic space with her journal company, Wakeful Travel—a ceremony-companion company that works with wakeful partners to provide tools that aid in transformation and self-exploration. Kevin is a creative director and a true champion of the party spirit. He brightens up my life in with his playful spirit.
Both guests are intentional in every part of their lives, including partying. This episode embodies the spirit of an unforgettable party—it’s fun, light and goofy, even while exploring the more serious considerations around partying and drugs.
Topics covered in this episode:
- How the history of house music + rave culture parallels the story of psychedelics
- Integrating meaningful dance floor experiences and insights into everyday life
- How electronic music, intentional community and psychedelics all come together to create a very special experience
- The crossover between recreational and therapeutic use: the dance floor as a therapeutic experience and form of release
- Fun, goofiness, play and shenanigans for the sake of fun, without making it about healing
- Balancing partying with medicine work and life
- Intentionality, moderation, safety and mindfulness when partying
