Yann Guignon embodies a rare path, at the crossroads of worlds and histories. Franco-Gabonese by adoption—under the guidance of Professor Jean Noël Gassita—and by marriage, he has spent over two decades building a unique bridge between Africa and the West, between living traditions and modernity.
His commitment began in 2004, when he entered an initiatory journey within several Gabonese rites. Initiated into Bwiti in 2006, he gradually developed a deep relationship with traditional knowledge holders. Over the years, this involvement led to his recognition as a guardian of tradition, and to his appointment as International Ambassador of the Association Maghanga Ma Nzambé, an organization dedicated to preserving and transmitting Gabonese traditional medicine.
But his journey goes far beyond a personal quest. As a consultant in intercultural mediation and sustainable development, he is actively engaged in addressing a deeper issue: the need to repair the imbalances inherited from the colonial history between the West and Africa. His approach is grounded in a strong conviction: traditional knowledge systems are neither archaic nor folkloric—they are fully-fledged systems of knowledge that must be recognized, protected, and fairly valued.
As scientific and industrial interest in iboga and ibogaine continues to grow, he was among the first to raise concerns about potential risks: knowledge extraction, marginalization of traditional communities, and unequal distribution of value. Where others see a market, he sees responsibility.
He went on to found Blessings of the Forest, an NGO dedicated to the conservation of Gabon’s cultural and natural heritage. Through this work, he strives to build concrete bridges between local communities, institutions, and international stakeholders, advocating for models based on equity, reciprocity, and respect for international frameworks such as the Nagoya Protocol.
Both in the field and on the international stage, he carries a distinct voice—that of a mediator, at once witness, actor, and bridge-builder. A voice that reminds us that behind every molecule studied, there is a story, a culture, and communities that must not be rendered invisible.
Episode Highlights
▶ The history and origin of Iboga in Gabon
▶ Cultural practices and rules around Iboga and Bwiti
▶ Challenges of Western commercialization and misappropriation
▶ Conservation efforts and the Nagoya Protocol
▶ The role of community-led initiatives like Blessings of the Forest
▶ Risks and safety in the use of Iboga and Ibogaine
▶ The spiritual and symbolic significance of visions and dreams in Gabonese tradition
▶ The importance of working with trained practitioners and respecting indigenous protocols

Del Potter, PhD is an ethnopsychopharmacologist, chemist, and psychedelic pioneer whose career has moved across some of the most consequential and unconventional edges of the field, from Mesoamerican field research and underground manufacturing to cutting-edge pharmaceutical development and clinical trials. He brings a rare perspective to the psychedelic renaissance: not as a commentator, but as someone who was inside the apparatus that produced these compounds long before the current wave had a name.
Dr. Potter holds a PhD from a joint program between the UCSF Medical School and UC Berkeley's Department of Anthropology, specializing in psychiatric anthropology, ethnopsychopharmacology, and neuropharmacology, with additional clinical training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. His postdoctoral fieldwork examined shamanic traditions and indigenous psychotherapeutic practice across multiple lineages, including ceremonial psilocybin and Salvia divinorum use among the Mazatec of central Mexico, ayahuasca and yagé ritual among the Shuar of Ecuador, and parallel traditions among the Yanomami of Brazil and the Cofán of Colombia, contributing to Richard Evans Schultes' comprehensive survey of psychotropic botanicals worldwide. A formative mentorship with Alexander Shulgin oriented his chemistry toward novel tryptamine compounds, particularly in the DMT and 5-MeO-DMT structural classes, and he has since developed a portfolio of compounds that retain the neuroplasticity associated with psychedelic receptor activity while producing no psychedelic effect.
On the pharmaceutical and biotech side, Dr. Potter served as Chief Science Officer at Leef Holdings, designing what became California's largest fully automated medical cannabis manufacturing facility, and later directed first-in-human 5-MeO-DMT clinical trials at UCSF through his work with Alvarius Pharmaceuticals, followed by a Phase 1 trial at Trinity College Dublin. At University College Dublin, he developed and validated the use of human stem cell-derived brain organoids to assess how psychedelic compounds reverse epigenetic changes caused by substance abuse. In 2023 he founded Spiritus Bioscience to develop novel delivery formats for psilocin, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT, with the first product entering clinical trials in Australia targeting Alcohol Use Disorder. He currently serves as founder and CSO of BioUnbound Inc., exploring the intersection of psychedelics and bioactive peptides for mental health and longevity applications.
Dr. Potter is currently completing his memoir, whose working title is Was a Different Time: Chronicles of a Psychedelic Pioneer in the Reign of the Cartels.
Episode Highlights
▶ Del's background supplying California cannabis genetics to the Guadalajara cartel and working at Rancho Bufalo
▶ Meeting cartel figures Miguel Felix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero, and the fallout from the Kiki Camarena murder
▶ Manufacturing LSD in Marin County using precursor chemicals sourced through cartel connections
▶ How a DEA sting led to a federal task force, a stunning offer, and a get-out-of-jail-free card
▶ Mentorship under Alexander Shulgin and the countercultural milieu of Esalen, Claudio Naranjo, Allen Ginsberg, and Terence McKenna
▶ Why psychedelics have no intrinsic politics: the compound is the same, the container decides everything
▶ The retreat economy as product development: when one medicine stops differentiating, operators start stacking
▶ How the clinical and pharmaceutical models convert ceremony into a billable procedure
▶ The psychoplastogen pipeline: engineering the experience out so the worker is back at their desk by Wednesday
▶ Indigenous cosmological governance as a technical achievement, not a romanticized ideal
▶ The concept of restraint and reciprocity as regulatory systems, and what Western culture has lost
▶ Why patenting psilocybin protocols and dosing postures is a winnable legal argument
▶ Publicly funded, community-governed clinics as the only container that can hold what these compounds require
▶ The mental health crisis as inseparable from the housing, wage, care, and climate crises
▶ Building a parallel infrastructure: cooperatives, commons defense, and indigenous benefit sharing as models

Antonia and Roger Vanoroare husband and wife, soul collaborators, and the creators of Ontodelic Inquiry™, a somatic and subtle-field approach to transformation that bridges depth psychology, body-centered therapy, and the lived wisdom of altered states. Ontodelic draws from the Greek roots for "being" and "revealing," pointing to a revelation of being that works at the level of the body, the psyche, and the karmic storehouse beneath.
Antonia is an intuitive energy healer and guide with over 22 years of experience in the sacred medicine space, trained in Hakomi, IFS, depth psychology, and energy work (CHt, CPTC). She works with the body as a direct route to the unconscious, midwifing clients through their natural healing processes with love, compassion, and skill. Roger is a somatic therapist and embodiment guide whose work begins in the present moment, using co-regulated presence to support clients as the deeper body awakens, heals, and reveals its histories.
Together they developed Ontodelic Inquiry to meet what conventional somatic and parts-based work cannot: multi-lifetime and ancestral material, experiences of unity and expanded states, and the deep patterns that keep people looping regardless of how much inner work they've done.
Their Ontodelic Inquiry Training is for therapists, coaches, facilitators, and healers ready to go deeper in their own process and their work with others. It is, as participants have described it, a psychedelic experience without the psychedelics.
Antonia and Roger are based in the Hudson Valley, New York, and offer individual sessions, couples work, mentorship, and immersive trainings.
Episode Highlights
▶ What Ontodelic Inquiry is and where the name comes from, rooted in the Greek words for "being" and "revealing"
▶ How somatic and parts-based modalities like Hakomi and IFS can become their own kind of loop, and what becomes possible when you work at the level of the karmic storehouse
▶ Why peak experiences alone rarely produce lasting change, and what shifts when deep somatic preparation and integration are in place
▶ How multi-lifetime and ancestral material shows up in sessions regardless of belief, and why a therapeutic frame that can hold it matters
▶ The role of pattern interruption and real-time somatic mapping in unwinding what talk therapy and medicine work can't fully reach
▶ How this work connects to ancient wisdom traditions from Andean Cosmovision to Vajrayana Buddhism, and why that lineage matters
▶ Why bringing light down into the body rather than bypassing shadow is the alchemy at the center of their approach
▶ What AI reveals about the irreplaceable nature of human consciousness and the transmission field only living beings can carry
▶ Who the Ontodelic Inquiry Training is for, including therapists, coaches, facilitators, and healers ready to go deeper

She speaks with deep reverence about iboga as a master plant teacher, describing how years of preparation through transformational NLP, family constellation work, somatic therapy, and energy work shaped the depth of her experience. Beth reflects on the themes of masculine healing, ancestral purging, inner child integration, and epigenetic clearing that moved through her ceremonies, and shares why she believes preparation and integration are everything with this medicine.
Beth also touches on the physical destabilization that followed, the profound purge she experienced, and why she is now considering offering pay-what-you-wish preparation sessions for others called to work with iboga.
Episode Highlights:
▶ Why Beth waited 12 years before saying yes to iboga
▶ How deep preparation shaped the depth of her experience
▶ What sets iboga apart from other plant medicines she has worked with
▶ Prayer, intention, and what the medicine chose to work with
▶ Healing the masculine and surfacing deep unconscious patterns
▶ Inner child integration brought to a whole new level
▶ The purge: ancestral, epigenetic, and beyond words
▶ Dreams repeating for two years that came to fruition in ceremony
▶ Physical effects and bringing presence to parts of the body that were offline
▶ Why discernment and proper medical intake matter with this medicine
▶ Her plan to offer preparation sessions for those called to iboga
Themes* Prayer and right relationship with Iboga and other sacred plant medicines * Timing, readiness, and discernment * Integration as an actual lifestyle (not just an integration circle) * When fear is a doorway in * The way spirit weaves in your life LONG before the ceremony * Truth vs. bypassing
Mentions + Modalities referenced▶ Iboga experience and insights
▶ Preparation and integration in plant medicine
▶ The sacred relationship with master plant teachers
A note on Iboga safety + discernmentIboga is not to be taken lightly. Making this decision was not a casual path. Beth speaks to the importance of being held by skilled facilitators, proper screening, and not rushing toward a “quick fix.” If you’re feeling called, let your prayer deepen, let guidance ripen, and choose safety and integrity over urgency.

In this episode, Beth shares why she’s finally saying yes to an Iboga journey…after contemplating and building a relationship with this medicine for 14 years. You’ll hear the story of how seeds were planted back in 2012, why she kept putting it off for years, what finally shifted, and what she’s learning and receiving from Iboga before the retreat even begins.
This is about truth, fear, prayer, timing, deep integration and the difference between chasing quick and easy healing vs. building a relationship with a medicine as an ally. If you’ve been contemplating Iboga or another plant medicine, this may be helpful for you to hear about her process to discernment and decision making.
What you’ll hear inside The first time Beth heard about Iboga and the phrase she never forgot: “First ceremony cleanses your karma… second tells you what to do with your life.” * The long on-and-off relationship with the calling to this medicine and why she didn’t do Iboga for so many years * The piece most people underestimate: ample space and time for integration, especially with Iboga. * Taking an “energetic sabbatical”--what it actually has been, what it wasn’t, and why it matters * Midlife portal and the deeper question underneath: “What do I really want?”* * The hard moment when a death at an Iboga center changed everything * A trusted friend’s iboga experience and a mysterious “one thing” she hasn’t been able to move despite doing “all the things” to change it. * “Hanuman made me do it!” (?!) Various “lightning bolt” moments and timeline-jumps. * Microdosing Iboga, how it happened and what it was like * A plant connection practice Beth recommends if you feel called to any medicine and what happened the very first time she did it with Iboga * The FEAR of iboga… why has she rarely felt this level of fear before a medicine journey? * The purge-before-the-purge: shedding the skin of the snake and endings for the highest good. * Yet another call-out of the “Amazon Prime effect” of “quick healing” culture… and why intention, prayer, reverence, and relationship matter more than trying to “get something” from a plant * Recurring ocean dreams * Beth’s deepest intention… not “fix me,” but: “Whatever is in the highest and best for me to be of service on this planet at this time.”
Themes* Prayer and right relationship with Iboga and other sacred plant medicines * Timing, readiness, and discernment * Integration as an actual lifestyle (not just an integration circle) * When fear is a doorway in * The way spirit weaves in your life LONG before the ceremony * Truth vs. bypassing
Mentions + Modalities referenced* Ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, Bufo, and “trickster” medicines * Master plant dietas and retreat integration * Vipassana / extended meditation retreats * Transformational NLP and Family Constellation work (and why it can feel like “there’s no other way to get there”) * Devotion, chanting, singing…and her journey of lightening bolt moments with the Hanuman Chalisa and dreams of Hanuman * Dream guidance from plant spirits
A note on Iboga safety + discernmentIboga is not to be taken lightly. Making this decision was not a casual path. Beth speaks to the importance of being held by skilled facilitators, proper screening, and not rushing toward a “quick fix.” If you’re feeling called, let your prayer deepen, let guidance ripen, and choose safety and integrity over urgency.

In this episode, Beth and Derek Loudermilk dive into the delightfully uncharted territory of synchronicities, ascension symptoms, and the accelerating strangeness of modern spiritual life. From an unexpected ultimate Frisbee encounter on a Mexican beach to earthquakes, windstorms, and mushroom ceremonies, the conversation weaves together personal stories that blur the line between coincidence and cosmic orchestration.
Derek has coached global influencers, leading scientists, cutting edge entrepreneurs, billionaires, world record athletes, thought leaders, NYT bestselling authors, and high achievers around the world for more than 15 years
Derek Loudermilk is a former pro cyclist and extreme microbiologist turned professional adventurer, author, and lifestyle entrepreneur.
His podcast, The Derek Loudermilk Show, brings people to a high level understanding of cutting edge topics in science, spirituality, adventure, and human potential. Derek hosted the top rated ‘Art of Adventure’ podcast for seven years.
Episode Highlights
▶ Psychic premonitions are accelerating: thinking of someone out of nowhere, only to hear from them hours later after years of silence
▶ Ringing in the ears, Schumann resonance, and solar flares: spiritual signals or just being human?
▶ A hape ceremony in Mexico is immediately followed by an earthquake, raising the question of what influences what
▶ Intense weather events during group ceremonies suggest collective energy shapes physical reality
▶ The Mandela Effect, Schrödinger's cat, and why some physicists think quantum superposition explains it all
▶ Timeline jumps: what they feel like from the inside and why they resist explanation in 3D terms
▶ Near-miss accidents may be moments where consciousness shifts into a parallel timeline rather than experiencing the crash
▶ Starseeds, Dolores Cannon's volunteer waves, and the question of whether all souls here now chose to be
▶ Collective intention experiments show measurable real-world results, from reduced crime rates to cleared ocean plastics
▶ Two paradigms are coexisting on Earth right now, and the shift is felt energetically even when daily life looks unchanged

In this episode, Beth shares why she’s finally saying yes to an Iboga journey…after contemplating and building a relationship with this medicine for 14 years. You’ll hear the story of how seeds were planted back in 2012, why she kept putting it off for years, what finally shifted, and what she’s learning and receiving from Iboga before the retreat even begins.
This is about truth, fear, prayer, timing, deep integration and the difference between chasing quick and easy healing vs. building a relationship with a medicine as an ally. If you’ve been contemplating Iboga or another plant medicine, this may be helpful for you to hear about her process to discernment and decision making.

An instructor and core faculty at Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism, Sam teaches herbal energetics and Materia Medica, helps supervise a free bi-weekly student clinic, leads plant walks, and offers medicine making demonstrations.
A long-time practitioner of Zen Buddhism, Sam also leads meditation retreats.

His commitment to the ever-unfolding awakening of all beings is expressed in a playful and fluid style.
Episode Highlights
▶ Sam shares why psilocybin belongs within the larger tradition of herbalism, not as a standalone medicine, but as part of an ancient, living lineage.
▶ Beth and Sam introduce their upcoming program,The Energetics of Psilocybin & Herbal Medicine: Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psychedelic Practice, focusing on the often-neglected energetic dimensions of psilocybin.
▶ How the "Amazon Prime effect" shapes how many approach plant medicines, seeking instant healing rather than building a true relationship with the medicine
▶ Herbalism offers practical support for the physical discomforts of a journey (nausea, cramping, racing heart) so attention can stay on the teaching.
▶ Understanding your own energetic constitution changes how you receive and digest these medicines, because no two bodies have the same experience
▶ True set and setting goes deeper than intention and environment. It includes diet, sleep, relationships, medications, and the life you're returning to.
▶ Integration isn't a post-journey practice. It's the whole path.
▶ Our ancestors were not preliminary, and the traditions they carried hold a depth that modern science is only beginning to approach
▶ A practical herbal kit gives facilitators and personal journeyers alike the tools to support any body through any stage of the experience
▶ Building soil, the conditions for these medicines to truly take root, is the deeper intention behind everything this program offers

Dori Lewis, MA, MEd, LPC-S, is a co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics and owner-operator of Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO, where she blends transpersonal psychology, depth work, and psychedelic-assisted therapy after stewarding nearly 100 ketamine therapy sessions and receiving training in shamanic ritual. As an educator, she has delivered talks for the professional psychedelic community, co-teaches introductory psychedelic therapy workshops, and serves as core faculty for the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute (PRATI), specializing in teaching clinicians about set and setting, ceremony, and ritual within ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Her latest venture, Elemental Psychedelics, is a women-led training center providing guidance through a feminine lens, which aligns with her belief that those with influence in professional and psychedelic communities must stay informed and challenge disinformation and questionable ethical practices.

For more than a decade, she was a researcher and educator in Higher Education with a tenured faculty position at a State University before co-founding The Nowak Society in 2017, a Colorado-based non-profit that builds and organizes psychedelic communities while also contributing to psychedelic policy through advisory committees and publishing community-partnered research on "underground" psilocybin practitioners. Through her private therapy and coaching practice (An Enduring Love) and Elemental Psychedelics, she has developed and delivered introductory workshops, psychedelic immersive trainings, and psychedelic circles to health professionals, while maintaining her personal belief that practitioners should hold their own deep relationship with the medicines they work with.

Robert Forte is a scholar of the history and psychology of religion, with a special focus on the ancient and modern use—and misuse—of psychedelic plants and drugs. He has studied and collaborated with many of the most seminal figures who first brought these substances to public consciousness since the 1940s, including Albert Hofmann, Gordon Wasson, Timothy Leary, Alexander Shulgin, Stanislav Grof, and others.
His first book, Entheogens and the Future of Religion, was praised by Huston Smith as “the best single inquiry into the religious significance of psychedelics.” His second book, Outside Looking In: Appreciations, Castigations, Reminiscences of Timothy Leary, offers an intimate look at this controversial figure. In 1998, he republished an updated edition of The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, and Carl Ruck—a seminal text that initiated the inquiry into the role of entheogens in Western religion and philosophy.
Over the years, Forte has manufactured MDMA before it was scheduled, conducted research into its clinical effects, and performed fieldwork in Peru studying the impact of ayahuasca on cancer patients. He has also maintained an underground practice utilizing various medicines for psychotherapy and spiritual exploration.
Around 20 years ago, his interests shifted toward the sociology of psychedelic experience, where he has developed a somewhat controversial perspective on how these substances entered modern consciousness. He argues that the history of psychedelics, much like the history of religion, contains both the best and worst of humanity. Without acknowledging and integrating its shadow aspects, he warns, we risk becoming victims of them.
Episode Highlights
▶ How early psychedelic experiences profoundly influenced individual perspectives.
▶ How the 1980s saw a resurgence in psychedelic research following prior suppression.
▶ MDMA's shift from therapeutic tool to illegal substance exemplifies drug policy complexities.
▶ Government drug policies and how they often prioritize control over public health.
▶ The psychedelic narratives that are often entangled with conspiracy theories and misinformation.
▶ How psychedelics offer potential for consciousness expansion, but require careful integration to avoid pitfalls like spiritual bypassing.
▶ The Controlled Substances Act and how it’s rationality is widely questioned.
▶ How despite illegality, MDMA's popularity grew, reflecting societal interest.
▶ The societal impact of psychedelics is multifaceted, demanding ethical consideration.
▶ Why meaningful change requires applying psychedelic insights to daily life, beyond mere experience.

Quilley is a social worker by education, with about six years of experience working with the elderly in the 1960s. In the early 1970s, she explored different psychedelic medicines under the tutelage of Leo Zeff while also engaging in regular recreational use common to that era. Her first non-dual experiences occurred with the Grateful Dead while on medicine. Quilley has been practicing meditation for over 30 years, accumulating about three years of silent retreat practice, including a 21-day retreat in complete darkness. She came to Theravadan Buddhist practice through the doorway of suffering after the loss of her son in 1993, working with her grief under the guidance of Stephen and Ondrea Levine. This led her to volunteer with two hospices and work with individuals through the Living Dying Project. Over time, she developed a deeply committed sitting practice, which included many monthlong retreats, a three-month retreat in 2010, and extended practice in Burma (four months in 1999) and Bodhgaya in 2012. She was also active in the Buddhism 12-Step community and worked with elders in various capacities, including being part of a Sangha practicing with San Quentin inmates. Quilley served as a retreat manager at Spirit Rock Meditation Center for 11 years. In her elder years, Quilley trained as a Death Doula with INELDA and now has a practice at the intersection of meditation, death, and awakening.

Kathryn Solie is widely known for her work as a "poisonous" plant educator. She feels that her current mission is to foster a greater cultural understanding of certain aspects of plant consciousness and, ultimately, to help build a community of unique practitioners who engage in dialogue, learn from, and support one another, both in their commonalities and differences.
She believes that together, we can recover the most ancient human lineage—our relationship to the wisdom of the plant kingdom.
Kathryn studied painting at Naropa University, a Buddhist-inspired school in Boulder, Colorado, completed a sacred plant medicine apprenticeship with the Gaia School of Healing in Putney, Vermont, and underwent training in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based, body-centered psychotherapy. While all of these trainings have influenced her work, they pale in comparison to what she has learned from the plants themselves.
Episode Highlights
▶ How Kathryn got started with poisonous plants and the teachings they have for us around fear
▶ How these plants can bring us to those threshold places within our own psyches
▶ The role psychedelics play in healing and how Kathryn uses them in her work
▶ The major piece of integration missing in the psychedelic space right now
▶ The power of Hakomi and the therapeutic practices that can be used for healing purposes
▶ The ability you have to lose yourself with these plants and the connection to trauma
▶ How poisonous plants are used in the medicine world for different purposes
▶ The work Kathryn does in her classes and how she safely introduces people to the world of poisonous plants
▶ Upcoming classes Kathryn has available and the different ways you can work with her

Dr. Christian Gonzalez, aka Dr. G, completed his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014. During his time there, he took interest in many fields of medicine, but it wasn’t until his mother passed of cancer that he decided to shift his focus to oncology.
The evolution of Dr. G was in cancer. Upon graduation, he completed his residency at the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he found a passion in helping people optimize their health in preventing chronic disease. He soon realized that cancer was not simply nutritional or exercise-based, it was much more than that.
The relationships we have with our home, the environment, and the people in our lives all play a role in the development of chronic disease. As he studied this concept more, Dr. G became passionate about environmental medicine as well as the mind, body, spirit connection.
Everything is connected, from the foods we eat to the way we think and interact with the world and the people in our lives. These seemingly small factors all play a large part when it comes to our health and longevity. Because of this, Dr. G has shifted from working with patients to focusing his energy on mass education. He has become a trusted voice in the auditing of healthy brands so that the consumer is empowered to make the best choice for themselves and their families.
He is also the host of a weekly podcast called Heal Thy Self, which focuses on giving people the tools they need to truly heal from the inside out and highlights some of the top medical professionals in the industry.
Dr. Christian Gonzalez has been featured in countless media outlets including MSN, the LA Times, Shape, and more.. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California where he continues his mission of empowering people with the knowledge and the courage to take their health into their own hands.
Episode Highlights
▶ Dr. Gonzalez’s journey into naturopathic medicine and how he eventually found his passion for oncology
▶ The potential of psychedelics in the cancer treatment space
▶ The impact of doing the work on your psychedelic journey and the role of your emotions in somatic work
▶ Why setting boundaries is key to somatic integration and emotional well-being
▶ Dr. G’s upcoming Comprehensive Somatic program and how he helps people find emotional liberation
▶ How focusing on emotional liberation can lead to physical changes in your body
▶ The impact stress has on our bodies and the right we all have to be in a relaxed state
▶ How reconnecting with nature can help balance and regulate our nervous systems
▶ Dr. G.’s optimistic outlook for the future of our society and what it will take to become healthy as a nation

Brad Adams, PhD, is the Founder and CEO of the Los Angeles Medicinal Psychedelics Society (LAMPS), an organization dedicated to integrating psychedelic medicines into mainstream mental and spiritual health practices since 2015. His passion and commitment have enabled LAMPS to become a leading provider of education on the responsible use of psychedelic medicines and training for licensed therapists and psychedelic healing providers. As such, LAMPS is the host of the many safe spaces in Los Angeles that serve as the ‘set and setting’ for bravely transparent conversations about not only the light but also the dark sides of psychedelic medicine use.
Dr. Adams received his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from USC and spent 18 years as a researcher in oncological sciences at the UCLA Medical Center. Today, as the guiding force behind LAMPS, he is dedicated to advancing the organization's mission to promote responsible, evidenced-based, and best-use practices for using psychedelic medicines in human wellness. In 2018, he served as Chair of the Los Angeles Psychedelic Science (LAPSS) planning committee, organizing the first major psychedelic conference in Los Angeles since the 1960s. Despite the pandemic's challenges in 2021, Dr. Adams successfully orchestrated a virtual psychedelic conference,LAMPSS, fostering a sense of community during a time of isolation.
Currently, Brad is focused on the upcoming LAMPS Psychedelic INSIGHTS Symposium, scheduled to be held again on the prestigious campus of UCLA on October 19th and 20th. He is also developing training programs for psychedelic sitters/guides and seeking research collaborators to study the efficacy of psychedelic medicines, such as DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and Ayahuasca, in treating Alzheimer's Disease. Additionally, he envisions opening a private prison where qualifying inmates can benefit from psychedelic treatments, combined with practices like Vipassana meditation and dietary changes, to promote healing and reduce recidivism rates. Stay tuned for more updates on his groundbreaking work!

Mary is a singer, song weaver, music producer, ritual artist, ceremonial facilitator and transformational coach, based in Northern California and the Big Island of Hawaii. Her lyrical expressions of the universal human experience embrace the mystical, invoke remembrance of our true purpose and meaning in life, and deeply honor the unique path of transformation we are all on.

Colette Condorcita is an activist, psychedelic coach, facilitator, consultant, and regenerative developer. She has been working with and studying psychedelic technologies for nearly 25 years. Raised by social justice activists in the Quaker community in Philadelphia, Colette has supported individuals in collective healing and justice movements her entire life.
At age 14, Colette had a life-changing spinal cord injury during an athletic competition, preceded by a prophetic dream. She was completely paralyzed from the neck down with a 2% chance of recovery. Utilizing self-directed neuroplasticity to heal she developed what she identifies as a “Shamanic Neurotype”, a form of Neurodivergence that is similar to what many utilize psychedelic experiences to achieve, and walked out of the hospital.
Colette received her BA in International Development and Relations and horrified by the U.S. international development model, came to work in regenerative agriculture and social justice initiatives in the Global South with Indigenous communities and has nearly 15 years of study and collaboration with Entheogenic traditions in the Americas. Colette is passionate about the integration of the Neurodivergent versus the Pathology paradigm of mental health and advocates for creating balanced frameworks for her clients and the larger psychedelic movement.

Daniel Giamario is the Founder of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School™ and creator of the TOTAMS Astrology Paradigm™, also known as TheGiamarioApproach™, previously known as the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm™. He joined together an academic background in Comparative Philosophy and Spirituality, with teaching meditation in two worldwide organizations in the 1970’s, and extensive world travel throughout his life.
Daniel learned astrology in the late 1960s and was part of Dane Rudhyar’s humanistic and transpersonal astrology movements in the 1970s. After a vision quest experience on Mount Shasta in 1981, his astrological vision and spiritual path became more Earth-centered and a shamanically-oriented astrology was born. For many years, his specialty has been connecting astrology to the night sky at secluded locations and sacred sites in an “As Above -So Below” direct experience. He has been a full-time astrological consultant since 1984.
TOTAMS Astrology has evolved as a rich blend of psychological, mythological, spiritual, and shamanistic elements, specifically designed to assist in the unfoldment of the individual’s life purpose and in navigating this pivotal point of the Turning of the Ages.
During the 1980s, under the umbrella of The Harbingers of the Turning of the Ages organization, he traveled the world developing his unique astrological approach. This often included a land-based workshop then known as the “Astrological Vision Quest”.
In the early 1990s the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School™ was conceived as a land-based, nomadic, and virtual curriculum for training counseling and therapeutic professionals in the use of the most important and transformational astrological tools and techniques.
Daniel’s first book, The Shamanic Astrology Handbook, first appearing in the early 2000s. In 2013 he authored The Shamanic Astrology Divination Card Deck. His second book, Origins of the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm™, became available in 2017. All can be ordered from the Turning of the Ages Mystery School™. Daniel has written numerous articles for Mountain Astrologer magazine and other publications and is prolific in providing a monthly vlog, weekly astrology updates and foundational articles via the TOTAMS website and social media channels.
Throughout the 1980s and through early 2020, Daniel traveled extensively, teaching workshops in over thirty worldwide locations. His in-person gatherings and live courses resumed in early 2023. The next destination is the Sacred Landscape of the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland for the June Solstice and Lunar Standstill where The Moon Walks on The Land!
Daniel lives with his wife Lynne in Southeast Asia. He is available for consultations, summits, lectures, and workshops. He has an active engagement with mentees and apprentices, and is personally working with many students on their path towards gaining the TOTAMS Astrology certification. He is currently working on updating all of TOTAMS' online courses to the highest standard.
Daniel’s passions are the growing of the Turning of the Ages Mystery School’s body of knowledge, further evolution of the TOTAMS Astrological Paradigm, also known as TheGiamarioApproach™, and continued research to obtain answers to his life-long question: “Who are we? And what the hell happened?”

Laurence Cole is a song elder and ritualist based in Port Townsend, Washington. An abiding thread throughout his life has been a longing to discover when, where, and how human beings have lived in respectful, sacred, equitable relationship with each other and the rest of Nature, and what arts, ethics, and practices enabled them to do so and pass such attitudes and behaviors on to the coming generations. In these profoundly challenging times, characterized by separation, polarization, and the commodification of nearly everything, (and the consequent damage such a culture is wreaking on the life support systems of this world,) the capacity to stay together and work cooperatively as a people is crucial for effective healing and restorative action in all realms. The communal arts of group singing, ritual, and the collective crafting of beauty are primal “technologies” of connection and belonging, and have been the integral bedrock of all viable and regenerative cultures through the deep time of our presence here on Earth. When we take steps to reclaim that heritage, making use of nothing more than what we were born with, (our bodies, our hearts, our voices, our spirits) we can once again experience the bonding recognition that our true wealth is each other and that all flourishing is mutual. Laurence has also been facilitating and offering community grief tending gatherings throughout North America for about 15 years. His primary teachers and influences have been Sobonfu and Malidoma Somé, Angeles Arrien, Michael Meade, James Hillman, Francis Weller, Joanna Macy, and Martín Prechtel. He is an advocate for this work not only for the ways it can bring release and healing for individuals, but also for the ways it can enable a renewed sense of respectful connection and belonging for groups of folks working together for restoration of mutually flourishing community
Episode Highlights
▶ Laurence's journey into grief work
▶ The role of singing in grief rituals and why it is so powerful
▶ The community and belonging we can find through grief work
▶ The primal wound and modern disconnection
▶ How we can find hope and healing in a disconnected world

Dr. MacLean co-founded and directed the first center for psychedelic education and training in New York, was featured in the New Yorker article entitled “The Trip Treatment" by Michael Pollan, and her TED Talk has been viewed nearly 50K times. Midnight Water is her first book.

Daniel Cleland is CEO of Soltara Healing Center, which gained worldwide recognition in 2019 as the preeminent Shipibo healing center outside Peru and is now regularly visited by the most prominent influencers, celebrities, and public figures. One of the patrons includes Logan Mader who he met backstage at a concert in 2020 when Mader expressed interest in an ayahuasca retreat at Soltara. Shortly after meeting, Cleland founded the now internationally acclaimed band Savage Existence and Mader produced their debut album, “Animals.” Since then, the Savage Existence has toured with iconic acts like Sepultura, Monstrosity, and more and is working on their second album coming out in 2023. Cleland holds a Masters of Intercultural and International Communication, but he learned his hard-knock style of scaling from years of traveling, living, and hustling in the merciless Amazon jungles of South America. He is often referred to as “The Indiana Jones of Entrepreneurship,” after applying the principles in this book to his company, his band, and everywhere he sets his sights.
Daniel's new book, "12 Laws of the Jungle: How to Become a Lethal Entrepreneur" has been called "your must-have machete for the jungle of entrepreneurship." The foreward was written by Patrick Bet-David of Valuetainment, and the book lays out the 12 laws Daniel learned while living in the Peruvian jungle and how they are necessary for every entrepreneur to understand to survive and thrive in the unforgiving jungle of entrepreneurship.
In this episode, Daniel Cleland and Beth Weinstein discuss …
▶ The major accident Daniel was in around age thirty that led him to deeply self-reflect and led him to work with ayahuasca
▶ How ayahuasca helped Daniel transform many emotional and spiritual aspects of his being that had been holding him back
▶ Choosing entrepreneurship as a path, beginning by leading groups to South America to work with ayahuasca
▶ How Daniel’s work with ayahuasca catalyzed enormous creativity and eventually inspired the idea of building an ayahuasca healing center
▶ The many challenges of creating and running a healing center from a business standpoint
▶ Should work with plant medicines be free? What are some of the real costs involved?
▶ Various price points Soltara offers to help make their program accessible to more people
▶ A second center Daniel has opened up in Peru which is relatively more rustic and economical
▶ Daniel’s new book, 12 Laws of the Jungle: How to Become a Lethal Entrepreneur
▶ Should we be using ayahuasca to help catalyze entrepreneurial creativity and solve business problems?
▶ Soltara’s approach to integration and the affiliated virtual community called “The Maloca”

Sinclair Fleetwood is the founder of Mystical Heart Collective and The Psychedelic Integration Podcast, and is living proof of the transformational power of psychedelics. She was called to heal with plant medicine after battling a life-threatening addiction and losing her father in prison to violence and alcoholism. Sinclair spent two years living in the Andes mountains of Ecuador, and working closely with ayahuasca and San Pedro, ancestral rituals, and shamanic ceremony – healing in retreat with more than 400 people during her time managing operations at a medicine retreat center.
During her time in the trenches of the ayahuasca industry, she saw a disturbing and reckless trend: There was no real preparation, aftercare, or integration support being offered - components that are absolutely vital to completing the healing circle created through working with psychedelics. Now, as a trained and certified Transformational and Psychedelic Integration Coach, Sinclair provides experienced holistic guidance throughout the entire psychedelic journey. Sinclair specializes in working with healers, facilitators, empaths, and those on the medicine path who are ready to level up so that you can thrive, enjoy your life, and be in service at your highest possible capacity.
In this episode, Sinclair Fleetwood and Beth Weinstein discuss …
▶ Sinclair’s early psychedelic experiences and her journey through and beyond addiction
▶ The retreat center in Ecuador where Sinclair first drank ayahuasca and how she swiftly moved from being a retreatant to a volunteer to managing the whole center
▶ The harsh realization that the ayahuasca retreat center where she worked was not serving the medicine safely
▶ Ultimately building a program that was rooted in exactly what Sinclair recognized she had needed for her own psychedelic preparation and integration, but had not been available to her
▶ How working with psychedelic medicines is not just about having peak experiences, but about cultivating and integrating changes inspired by those experiences over time
▶ How Sinclair’s business has dramatically shifted over the course of her engagement with Beth’s True Bath Mastermind Program
▶ The “Rise an Align” program Sinclair has created, which is hybrid of curriculum, community and 1:1 coaching
▶ “Rise an Align” as about rising into your highest self out of old stories and limiting beliefs and aligning with your heart to truly embody the wisdom you receive from the medicine
▶ The prevalence of entrepreneurship running on hyper-masculine energy and the need to balance the masculine and feminine in business
▶ The need to have your own support when you are supporting others
▶ Being careful not to jump into service as a spiritual bypass to avoid doing your own work
▶ How coaching brings you into your truth and authenticity
▶ Your business as an integral part of your spiritual journey
▶ Feelings of being a square peg trying to fit into a round hole - and how sometimes we feel there is something wrong with us because of our uniqueness, when in fact our uniqueness is the medicine we carry
▶ Resilience - the capacity to ride the ups and down of entrepreneurship - as the key to success
▶ Beth as a business coach AND a spiritual coach
▶ All the juicy details of Sinclair’s holistic psychedelic integration coaching container and her upcoming retreat offering on the beach in Mexico

Beth Weinstein’s clients are at the center of her heart and business.

- As you have become more aligned with your true path in business, what have you noticed changing in other aspects of your life?

Paleontologist-Futurist Michael Garfield is devoted to helping navigate our age of accelerating weirdness and helping cultivate the curiosity and play we'll need to thrive in it. As host and producer of both Future Fossils Podcast & The Santa Fe Institute's Complexity Podcast, Michael acts as interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, and philosophers — a practice that feeds his synthetic and transdisciplinary "mind-jazz" performances in the form of essay, music, and fine art. Standard-bearer for a new generation of boundary-defying scholars, Michael refuses to be enslaved by a single perspective, creative medium, or intellectual community, walking through the walls between academia and festival culture, theory and practice — speaking and performing everywhere from Moogfest to Burning Man, SXSW to Boom Festival, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to Long Now's Ignite Talks to The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.

▶ The relationship between mind, communication and the unfolding of biological form in time
▶ Michael's psychedelic influence and how it has shaped his scholarly and artistic expression
▶ Thinking about the brain’s electrical activity as “weather”
▶ Sitting in the liminal zone during psychedelic experiences, and how Michael tries to anchor the insights that come into his eyes open, waking experience
▶ Studying ways that humans use certain things: “use webs”
▶ How capitalism is founded in the deeper logic of biophysics, growth and the scaling of networks
▶ The idea that the work of culture and knowledge production flows as an underground river through repeated waves of colonization
▶ How we are under existential assault from the institutions we’ve created as a way of trying to shelter ourselves from the ravages of an unpredictable world
▶ Civilizations and their institutions as life forms in their own right
▶ How in becoming more “porous” through psychedelic use you are interrogating the boundary of self and other and essentially issuing an invitation for the “other” to enter you
▶ “Fugitivity” as defining this time
▶ How we need to preserve the wilderness at all costs, including the wilderness of the “uncategorizable self”
▶ How the world is getting stranger and stranger and the surface area of our questioning now exceeds the surface area of our answering
▶ Staying connected to simple things when you feel overwhelmed by the world
▶ The relationship between mind and language
▶ How psychedelics give us experiences that elude or ability to communicate them and beckon us into more eloquent communication

Carlos Tanner has been studying the science of ayahuasca and plant medicine in the Amazon Rainforest since 2003. He currently works as the director of the Ayahuasca Foundation, a non-profit organization he began in 2009 in Iquitos, Peru. He organizes healing retreats and educational courses led by indigenous healers, called curanderos, to help people in need of healing anything from depression to cancer or who are interested in learning the ancestral healing traditions of the Amazon.
Since 2017, the Ayahuasca Foundation has also hosted plant medicine research looking into the effects of treatment with ayahuasca on depression, anxiety, and trauma. In 2021, that research was published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry, demonstrating that attending an ayahuasca retreat can produce epigenetic changes that significantly reduce depression and anxiety. Research continues at the center and will now include studying chronic pain, PTSD, and changes to the gut biome as a result of attending an ayahuasca retreat.
In this episode, Carlos Tanner and Beth Weinstein discuss …
▶ How Carlos found his life’s purpose through his experience healing from opiate addiction with the help of ayahuasca
▶ The cultural impact of celebrities coming out of the psychedelic closet
▶ Transformation as a lifelong journey
▶ The question of whether the exponential growth of interest in ayahuasca is positive
▶ How the meaning of “medicine” differs between modern Western vs. indigenous traditions
▶ Ayahuasca as synonymous with ceremony
▶ Carlos’ view that sustainable use of ayahuasca is possible because it is such a valuable commodity that more and more people are growing
▶ The issue of cultural appropriation and parallels between Westerners using ayahuasca and Westerners practicing yoga and meditation
▶ Ayahuasca as a communication method for the earth to bring into alignment its cellular activity
▶ Whether ayahuasca should be free for everyone who could benefit
▶ Common judgements around indigenous people being paid to preserve their cultural identity and local environment
▶ The critical importance of the connection and reverence you feel with your ayahuasca facilitator

Victoria is the founder and president of Kaivalya’s education platform F.I.V.E (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education). Her mission at F.I.V.E is to provide the world with a centralized hub for all resources and education on 5-MeO-DMT, in hopes of bringing awareness to the ethics, integrity, and safety of 5-MeO-DMT.
Victoria’s first introduction into the world of healing was through plant medicine. Knowing she had found her path, Victoria explored the world, working with different psychedelic plant medicines over the span of a decade, with both indigenous and modern teachers. In 2016 she set out to complete her Yoga teacher training in Bali, which allowed her to gain further insight into the different lenses used in spirituality. After returning to her home in Vancouver Island to share these gifts, she continued to peruse her fascination with plant medicines.
After taking time to honor her own process and growth, Victoria stepped into the role of a medical practitioner. In early 2019 she completed her Kambo training and certification through IAKP in Thailand. Later that year, Victoria then completed her first training with the powerful medicine 5-MeO-DMT, said to be the most powerful psychoactive experience known to man. Longing to deepen her understanding of medicine, she continued 2 more consecutive trainings over the span of a year. Deeply moved by the force of this medicine, she immersed herself in the toad community, learning all she could in order to best serve this powerful medicine to the world.
Deeply intrigued by Joseph Campbell's work, she studied the Hero’s Journey at length and later applied it as a geographical lens in her work to assist participants to effortlessly move into their own innermost workings. Choosing to continue her education to best support others, she enrolled in a year-long psychedelic integration training, where she chose to specialize in the 5-MeO-DMT integration process. Her dedication to her craft earned her a position with the international psychedelic wellness company Kaivalya Kollectiv, where she works as both the head of education and a retreat leader, applying all she has learned over her years.
In this episode, Victoria Wueschner and Beth Weinstein discuss …
▶ Victoria’s inspiration for coming onto the medicine path: the question “Who am I?”
▶ How 5-MeO-DMT finally gave her the answer to “Who am I?”, which catalyzed a huge “falling away” process
▶ Returning to her city life after her 5-MeO-DMT awakening and feeling that everything from her life before no longer fit and simultaneously feeling a huge sense of possibility
▶ How Victoria dedicated herself to a deep study of 5-MeO-DMT by working with various different well-qualified facilitators
▶ Meeting people where they are at as a 5-MeO-DMT facilitator and supporting them to make long lasting transformational change in their lives
▶The different types of retreat containers that Victoria and her partner, Joël Brierre, offer at their retreat center, Tandava Retreats in Tepoztlan, Mexico
▶ Tandava Retreats’ group/private hybrid model
▶ The robust, virtual preparation and integration support included in their retreat package
▶ F.I.V.E., the world's first centralized resource hub for 5-MeO-DMT education, which Victoria created
▶ 5-MeO-DMT as a ‘new’ medicine without a known indigenous tradition behind it informing best practices
▶ The pull some people feel after experiencing the profundity of the medicine to serve it before they are qualified
▶ Touching into ego death on 5-MeO-DMT and coming out of the experience with a totally new perspective
▶ How the ego moves through different thresholds inside of the medicine experience and layers of identity can fall away
▶ How Victoria integrates Joseph Campbell’s hero's journey work with her clients
▶ The universality of experiencing a catharsis on 5-MeO-DMT
▶ Working with smaller doses of 5-MeO-DMT in “group dives”, which allows people to experience the medicine in community while still being present in the body
▶ The phenomenon of people holding retreats that offer experiences of multiple medicines and the potential for this to be damaging
▶ The new retreat center in Costa Rica that Victoria and her partner are opening next year

In this episode, Beth Weinstein shares about …
▶ The notion that “there’s nothing to heal”
▶ The reality that you’ll always have “issues” and true healing is not getting rid of them, but
accepting and integrating them with wisdom
▶ Going beyond your own personal drama by stepping into service for the greater good
▶ The beautiful paradox that your issues actually start to have less charge and your healing is accelerated when you serve others
▶ Asking yourself, “What's beneath the feeling that I need to heal more before I can help others?”
▶ Recognizing that not feeling ready to help others is an indication of a core wound that is subconsciously running you
▶ Focusing on helping more than healing
▶ The way psychedelic medicines bring us back to the truth that we are all interconnected and how service naturally emerges from this inner knowing

He earned his Masters in Consciousness and Transformative Studies from John F. Kennedy University, and his Bachelors from the University of Arizona with a major in Philosophy and minors in Physics, Psychology, and Mathematics. Aside from academic work, he has undergone several major trainings, including graduating from the Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy program and training within the Mazatec mushroom tradition. He assisted the Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Certificate training at CIIS for two years, and mentored at the newly emerging School of Consciousness Medicine.
He works as a facilitator for legal psilocybin mushrooms ceremonies in Jamaica with Atman Retreats, one of the few opportunities offered worldwide where people can legally experience psilocybin.

▶ Jahan’s life-changing, psilocybin-assisted experience of oneness at age 18, after which spirituality became the focus of his life
▶ Jahan’s journey studying neuroscience, physics, mathematics, psychology and mysticism, finally culminating in a PHD in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness
▶ How psychedelic medicines have been a part of almost every culture’s history
▶ Jahan’s new book and his sense that it was something he was born to write
▶ How the crisis we are facing as a culture is a crisis of separation
▶ The ways that feeling a deeper sense of connection can be profoundly healing
▶ How it is very common for psychedelic experiences to give us sense of ecological oneness
▶ How psychedelics grow in almost all ecosystems to help create a state of equilibrium

▶ Jahan’s observation serving psilocybin legally in Jamaica that the majority of clients are coming with anxiety and depression
▶ “Miraculous” psilocybin-assisted healings of treatment resistant depression that Jahan has witnessed
▶ Depression as a response to feeling shame and insufficiency and how psilocybin can help us come into contact with who we really are
▶ A scientific explanation of how psilocybin creates a highly neuroplastic, hyper-connected brain state
▶ Integration as a process of coming into more harmony with what you have experienced in a psychedelic journey in your daily life
▶ The “homework” psychedelics give us and how doing it is a central aspect of integration
▶ How it is often stated that “psychedelics aren’t for everybody” – but perhaps it’s more a question of the right timing and container?
▶ Jahan’s hope for the future of psychedelics and the transformation of our society and planet
In this episode, Beth Weinstein shares about …
▶ What it means to come into closer contact with your soul’s calling by opening to receive guidance about your business in your psychedelic journeys

▶ Entering a psychedelic journey with a mantra such as ”Show me how I can serve” or “Guide me towards my path” – or even something specific such as “Help me get clarity around my new offer”

▶ Bringing ideas from your experiences into your daily prayer practice and asking for help understanding what they mean and how they can unfold in your reality
▶ Discerning whether the messages you receive are coming from your ego or your soul
▶ Connecting with the spirit of the medicines you work with and how this brings much more profundity to your connection with the information that comes through

Joseph Mays, MSc, received his Master’s in Ethnobotany from the University of Kent upon researching responses to globalization by indigenous Yanesha of central Peru. After graduating with biology and anthropology degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University, he conducted an ethnobotanical survey in the Ecuadorian cloud forest and published a medicinal plant guide for the Jama-Coaque Ecological Reserve. His conservation work emphasizes how cultural conditioning influences the approach of biocultural sustainability. Joseph is Program Director of Chacruna’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative of the Americas, where he conducts research and builds connections with small Indigenous communities throughout the Americas to support Chacruna’s mission of increasing cultural reciprocity in the psychedelic space.
In this episode, Joseph Mays and Beth Weinstein discuss …
- How Joseph's studies in ethnobotany and permaculture led him to focus his professional work in the areas of reciprocity and plant medicine conservation
- The fact that there is no such thing as a “pristine” forest - all forests, including the Amazon, have been shaped by human practices of agroforestry
- The importance of thinking relationally and how working with sacred plant medicines can help by revealing the interconnectivity of all things
- How a sense of alienation from self, family, community, and life itself often lies at the root of damaging resource extraction
- The animistic point of view of many indigenous cultures: everything is interconnected and has a consciousness that is communicating at all times
- The reality that there is constant disharmony and imbalance in the world and it is your responsibility as a human to contribute to correcting this
- How the flexible funding of Chacruna’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative of the Americas
empowers indigenous communities to allocate money in ways they feel is most beneficial for cultural and ecological conservation
- Traditional harvesting practices as more protective to the plants than modern ones
- The colonialistic exploitation of indigenous communities by wealthy people who visit to receive the wisdom from the plants without consciousness of their personal impact
- Balancing the collective need for healing with cultural and environmental conservation
- The poverty levels of indigenous traditions holders, which are still abysmal even with the rising popularity of psychedelics
- The need to recognize that some indigenous groups are selling the plants out of real economic need
- Autonomy and agency as the most important things we can contribute to indigenous people

Joël Brierre is the Founder and CEO of the psychedelic wellness companies Kaivalya Kollectiv and Tandava Retreats. Joël has been a pioneer in the modern psychedelic movement, specifically in the realm of 5-MeO-DMT and the Bufo Alvarius toad. His unique approach of applying classical non-dual yogic philosophy as geography for both preparation and integration from the entheogenic experience gained attention around the world at the first WBAC (World Bufo Alvarius Congress) and continues to shift the landscape of psychedelic use.
Joël works specifically in the retreat setting and with over a decade of experience, has curated a container that is meant to facilitate lasting change. Drawing from a combination of eastern, as well as neurofeedback, and other contemporary western integrative practices, these retreats give participants a space to safely unfold, address trauma, undergo cathartic release, and have the support system to hold them through the whole process. With a heavy focus on integration and aftercare, participants are able to create lasting change and find deeper states of peace than they thought conceivable.
Joël and his team at Tandava are raising the bar for psychedelic and wellness retreats, with a flagship center in Tepoztlan, Mexico, a larger center opening Q2 of 2022 in Costa Rica, and group retreats in Jamaica. Retreats are led by top notch teachers and facilitators with extensive experience. Safety is the number one priority, followed closely by a warm and welcoming container that is both nurturing and expansive.
In this episode, Joël Brierre and Beth Weinstein discuss …
- How through his intensive study of yoga Joël recognized the same non-dual state that can be catalyzed by a “full release” experience of 5-MeO-DMT
- The ineffability of the 5-MeO-DMT experience and how it can only be accessed with the dissolution of your brain's Default Mode Network
- The need for a willingness to surrender and the experience of “dying before you die”
- The powerful opportunity you have to observe your patterns as your mind comes back online after a 5-MeO-DMT experience
- Using the model of the “Hero's Journey” as a framework for integration of 5-MeO-DMT
- The need to have the right screening and supports in place when taking on cases of treatment resistant depression, trauma, and other states of suffering
- The educational platform Joël and his partner, Victoria, are developing (“The Five”) as a resource for both participants and practitioners
- The fact that there is no indigenous lineage for this medicine and how this is inspiring facilitators to put dogma aside and focus more unique journey of each client
- The 5-MeO-DMT practitioner training and practitioner refinement courses that will be released soon
- How 5-MeO-DMT requires a more intensive integration process than any other psychedelic medicine
- The robust preparation and integration process that Tandava offers remotely before and
- after their live retreats
- Using neurofeedback as part of the aftercare process
- The Western tendency to chase peak states and the importance of truly integrating 5-MeO-DMT experiences rather than impulsively using the medicine repeatedly
- Why this medicine is becoming so popular at this particular time in history
- The benefits of using the synthetic analogue of 5-MeO-DMT instead of the venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad

In this episode Beth Weinstein shares about …

- Learning to engage the observer mind and witnessing your patterns around money
- Her experience exploring “receiving” in an ayahuasca ceremony and the realization that it's our birthright is to have whatever we want, including money
- How it’s up to you to choose whether you let your money blocks control you or do the mindset work to set yourself free
- How money is not real, it’s something we all agree on
- Her personal “surrender experiment” putting aside her attachment to money and operating from a deeper connection to herself
- How when you are more aligned with your true path, not only money, but other gifts flow to you as well

Kat is an herbalist, plant spirit guide, weaver of sacred spaces and the founder of Yarrow Resilience Institute. Having recently relocated to California, Kat lived in Peru for nearly ten years working first with regenerative agriculture and land based practices and then in close relationship with plant medicine wisdom holders of the Brazilian Amazon.
Her journey began with a mission to heal the soil and the global food system; however, after years of traveling and working in regenerative agriculture, food justice and non-profit fundraising, Kat realized that to show up for the well-being of our communities and environment, we must first show up for ourselves, and so her life project was born.
Kat's passion is activating the power of plant spirit guides and reconnecting all beings to nature to reconnect to self. She believes that nature can guide us in dropping out of our head and into our heart, living from the center of our unique and innate wisdom and connecting with our most inspired sense of self. She designs immersive experiences through workshops, retreats, and 1:1 transformational journeys centered on connecting people with this innate wisdom.
Her offerings are woven from the various modalities she has immersed herself including cacao ceremonies, plant immersions and dietas, plant spirit work, yogic philosophy, reiki, traditional herbalism, and the wisdom of the ancient Amazonian Huni Kuin lineage she has learned so much from.
In this episode, Beth and Kat discuss …
- Healing disconnection from self, the land, and life itself
- Translating the concept of a traditional master plant “dieta” to working with plants growing locally
- Plant spirits and their messages for us
- The healing power of being in a deep, reciprocal relationship with a plant
- How working with plant medicine is about much more than our personal transformation
- Growing in confidence in one’s own gifts as an entrepreneur
- Coming out of hiding and breaking out of imposter syndrome
- How stepping publicly into our truest essence and affects our personal relationships

Kat Courtney is a traditionally trained Ayahuasquera and Huachumera with 16 years of plant medicine experience. She is also a psychedelic integration coach and death doula.
Topics discussed in the episode ...
- Kat began apprenticing as an ayahuasca shaman 13 years ago
- She often sees people attending one ceremony after the next without integrating, which runs the risk that 'whispers' from the plants teachers may become 'screams'
- We need to embody the insights we receive in ceremony and bring them into our life, otherwise they are nothing more than memories
- Her previous career was in video game production and Aya showed here this was not what she came here to do – she had to get honest with herself and start making changes
- It was a process of owning the calling that brought her to this work
- As soon as she was courageous enough to pursue her true soul's calling, the support started lining up!
- Kat has had a friendship with death since birth - she was born very sick and only stayed here out of compassion for her mother
- Her work with Aya is more about falling in love with life, not unravelling a fear of death
- The prevalence of people thinking integration is not needed is very Western – integration is equally as important as the ceremonial work itself
- There's always a benefit of having an outside perspective and support from someone who understands the process
- Many people wait for a breakdown before they are sufficiently motivated to have the breakthrough of receiving help
- A dieta is a marriage between our spirit and the spirit of a specific plant
- A dieta is a container in which you work with a plant that has a vibration you want to become more intimate with
- There are two different types of dietas: an insulated process with a shamanic guide, or a social or 'soft' diet, which allows you to continue engaging with your worldly life
- The jungle plant she recommend the most for dietas is boganzana, "the cheerleader", and a powerful teacher of self love
- Sage teaches the art of energetic protection
- The plants do not have a voice, so we need to be loyal messengers speaking up for the need to respect them
- Kat has a specific set of questions she asks a facilitator she's considering working with
- Do you have permission from the plant to work with it as a facilitator? It's a relationship! The medicine has to say YES
- If you don't know the answer is YES, get clarity on whether your work with the plant feels aligned or forced – if it feels forced, you need to ask yourself, "What do I need to learn before moving forward as a facilitator?"
- Kat would like to see Western and indigenous worlds come together more in mutual respect – the larger conversation needs to be more open to indigenous perspectives
- She hopes for more tailored experiences for specific traumas and increased education about which medicines are more useful for which issues
- Kat has a book coming out, Plant Medicine Mystery School, which is about how to work with the plant world from a place of humility and empowerment
- She is also starting a company that offers curated guidance about where to go to do this work safely

- It IS possible to make money and truly love what you do!
- The more Beth worked with psychedelics, the more messages she received about what she is here to do on earth
- Beth always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but initially lacked the confidence to break free of working for others
- We cling to the idea security, even though nothing is ever secure
- Beth does not see her business as separate from her life – it's who she is – it's her soul coming through in her daily life
- We are like plants – we start as a seed and continuously expand – and if we're not expanding because we are in an unfulfilling job, we'll suffer and possibly even become ill
- Ayahuasca showed Beth visions of her professional future that helped to guide her forward
- After receiving a powerful vision – surrender to the vision!
- Experiment with getting rid of the words "business" and "money", and start orienting more towards curiosity and fun
- Discovering your purpose is an embodied process
- Pay attention to the synchronicities, notice the golden nuggets – they will guide you forward

Will Siu, MD, DPhil, completed medical and graduate school at UCLA and the University of Oxford, respectively, before completing his residency training at MGH and McLean Hospitals. He remained on faculty at Harvard for two years while an attending psychiatrist at McLean's inpatient substance abuse treatment unit prior to moving to New York City to further pursue his interest in psychedelic medicine as a practitioner and public advocate through speaking, writing, and social media. Dr. Siu has been trained by MAPS to provide MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and now maintains a private practice in Los Angeles. He has been working with ketamine in his practice for over 3 years. He also serves as an advisor to Bexson Biomedical and People Science.
Topics discussed in this episode ...
- Will's unlikely journey into psychedelics
- The more authentic we can be - no matter what we are doing - the more we can inspire other to be the same
- Psychedelic healing doesn't have to be medicalized - people outside of the medical space can bring powerful healing support
- Much of Will's work is focused on the interface where we rub up against our patterns and how to grow our capacity to respond in healthy ways
- For some people the immediate need with psychedelic therapy is just to feel better - Will meets people where they are
- Our thoughts, words, and deeds - our moods, words, and actions - reflect how we manifest and how we change
- It's so hard to know our soul's true purpose in the face of all that has been programmed
- To pursue our true calling there needs to be some amount of safety - and yet no amount of money can protect us from existential pain
- Rock bottom - there has to be enough pain in order to make us willing to live life differently
- Will recommends getting together with a small group of trusted friends once month and taking a half gram of mushrooms ... this costs nothing!

Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986.
Topics discussed in this episode...
- Rick's childhood and the influence of his Jewish heritage on his spiritual and career development
- Two books that had a profound impact on Rick as a college student:
- One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest, Ken Kesey (partially written under the influence of LSD!)
- Realms of the Human Unconscious: Observations from LSD Research, Stanislav Grof
- How MAPS is trying to demonstrate a new approach to psychotherapy as it pursues a mission of mass mental health care
- The way MAPS is seeking to maximize "public benefit" through its public benefit corporation, which is essentially an open source pharmaceutical company
- Rick's hope that legalization will enable people to work with psychedelic medicines responsibly on their own
- Our need as a culture to understand that a 'difficult' experience does not equate to a 'bad' experience
- "The full expression of an emotion is the funeral pyre of that emotion" - Stanislav Grof
- The role of MDMA in end of life and pain management
- There are countless psychedelic career opportunities available to people in fields beyond psychotherapy
- Future psychedelic healing clinics will be sites of initiation
- You can get anywhere you need to without psychedelics, but it could be a lot slower/harder

Kyle Buller is the Co-Founder and Director of Training and Clinical Education of Psychedelics Today, an online media and education platform exploring the therapeutic potential of psychedelics.
Kyle's interest in exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness began at the age of 16 when he suffered a traumatic snowboarding accident. After this near-death experience, Kyle’s life changed dramatically. Kyle subsequently earned his B.A. in Transpersonal Psychology from Burlington College, where he focused on studying the healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness by exploring shamanism, Reiki, local medicinal plants and plant medicine, Holotropic Breathwork, and psychedelic psychotherapy. Kyle has been studying Dreamshadow Transpersonal breathwork with Lenny and Elizabeth since October 2010.
Kyle earned his M.S. in clinical mental health counseling with an emphasis in somatic psychology from Prescott College. Kyle’s clinical background in mental health consists of working with at-risk teenagers in crisis and with individuals experiencing an early episode of psychosis and providing counseling to undergraduate/graduate students in a university setting.
Topics discussed on this episode...
- Kyle's incredible story of how a near death experience as a teenager ultimately led him to psychedelics
- Kyle's psycho-spiritual struggles coming back to the mundane after his near death experience
- How a psilocybin experience at age 19 helped provide some answers and inspired Kyle to formally study non-ordinary states of consciousness during his university years
- The influence of Stanislav Grof's work on the healing potential of psychedelics and holotropic breathwork
- How Psychedelics Today got started and created some of the first online resources for integration, both thorough the podcast and online courses
- The challenge that because we don't live in a culture that provides a framework for transformative psychedelic experiences, there's a tendency for people to get so inspired that they rush into work as a facilitator, coach, etc. before sufficiently integrating their own experiences
- The shadow side of people rushing into psychedelic entrepreneurship
- Issues around scaling psychedelic assisted therapies – what happens when you create a more capitalistic model of mental health which may lack preparation and integration support and safe containers for people experiences of both spiritual emergence and 'spiritual emergency'?
- Psychedelics and death – do we need to wait until the end of out lives to develop a relationship with our death, or can psychedelics help us?
- The importance of being in alignment - we have no idea when our time is going to come
- How somatic work plays into psychedelic integration
- The seed metaphor of integration: bringing the seed of insight back and planting and tending to it as it grows towards the light of the sun
- Psychedelics as disruptive technologies that are disrupting the way we view mental health and mental healthcare

Dr. Lynn Marie Morski is the president of the Psychedelic Medicine Association, host of the Plant Medicine Podcast, the founder of Plant Medicine.org, and the medical director for Way of Leaf.com. She is a Mayo Clinic-trained physician in family medicine and sports medicine, as well as an attorney and former adjunct law professor.
Topics discussed on this episode:
Lynn Marie's mission is to educate clinicians about the healing potential of psychedelics
Her Plant Medicine Podcast was created with the intention of serving as an 'encyclopedia' of psychedelics and their therapeutic effects
The Psychedelic Medicine Association was founded as a resource for clinicians, and shares the latest psychedelic research and offers panels on topics that are immediately applicable to clinical practice
The story of Lynn Marie's personal journey with psychedelics and how it inspired her change of path from being a doctor at the VA where she felt profoundly misaligned
Lynn's advice if you're trying to change careers is to have a mission statement, and also a list of things that you are clear you do and don't enjoy professionally
You need to be honest with yourself about the aspects of your professional life so far that have brought you energy as well as those that have drained you
We need to understand that the average doctor has little to no knowledge of psychedelics, and we should not blame them for this because they did not have this education in medical school and may simply lack exposure to new trends in psychedelic medicine
The future potential for careers in psychedelics is bright! There are so many ways to potentially work in the psychedelic space - we need a psychedelic skills career center!
Lynn Marie feels that there needs to be a somatic component to psychedelic integration
Ideally integration professionals are trauma-informed - especially to help integrate cerebral insights with the nervous system
We need integration professionals who know how to work with both psychedelic 'emergence' and psychedelic 'emergency'

Common questions abut psychedelic entrepreneurship answered...
What are some of the areas in which coaches, therapists and other transformational support specialists can help their clients by integrating psychedelics into their practices? Below is a small sampling:
- Health and wellness
- Grief
- Death and dying
- Eating disorders
- Sexual trauma
- Deep trauma healing
- Embodiment
- Weight loss
- Addiction recovery
Do I need a certificate/certification to bring psychedelics into my coaching business?
- Although formal training can be valuable, it's not about getting a certificate per se
- The most important thing is that you're constantly learning and growing
- We're all climbing a mountain and are at different points along the journey - the people that are behind you are the people you're able to help
- Your own daily practices and spiritual transformation grow your capacity to give
- Don't fall into the loop of getting endless certifications without actually stepping into service – the world needs you!
What other training do you need to become a psychedelic entrepreneur?
- Train in starting and growing your business
- Feel into what is it that YOU want to learn and follow that towards your ultimate niche
- Ask yourself what your ideal clients want and need from you
- Feel into what lights you up
- The impact of your own transformational path eventually brings you to a point where you want to be of service and give back – what have you gone through that can help you help others?
Is it legal to be a psychedelic entrepreneur?
- Consult a legal professional!
- Always have a LEGAL aspect of your business
I want to give my clients psychedelics. How do I do this?
- Again, if you want to serve medicines in the context of a clinic, retreat, private practice, etc., the biggest issues currently are legality
- You have to feel into your body to know what is right to you – are you willing to risk getting in trouble?
- Consider establishing your work in a place where the medicines you want to work with are legal - or bring your clients to those places for retreats, etc.
Why is it worth facing and overcoming doubts and fears about psychedelic entrepreneurship?
- Entrepreneurs tend to have to take risks – it's the very nature of entrepreneurship
- You are here to help usher in a whole new realm of healing
- Own what you're here to do!
What has Beth's own path of psychedelic entrepreneurship been?
- When she began to truly integrate her own healing, her business started shifting
- She realized that because psychedelics were such a huge part of her life, an aspect of her was hidden when she wasn't yet out of the closet
- At a certain point she had a vision that she was here to help medicine people – this made her nervous, but she new her mission was more important than listening to her fear-based ego
- She knew if people were working with psychedelics and doing work that they didn't love, psychedelics would wake them up and they would have to make a change
- Pay attention to your higher self, which is calling you to your true path - mission over ego
- If you are in alignment, golden nuggets will be dropped onto your path and you will be led to divine abundance
Shiri Malcolm Godasi is a pioneering psychedelic-positive creatrix, coach, visionary entrepreneur and mother. A proponent of Self-shamanism, she is dedicated to creating grassroots systems that empower people to heal, live an authentic & free life and serve their communities to design social change. A 5-time psychedelic entrepreneur, among Shiri’s organizations are the 501c-3 nonprofit PsychedeLiA Integration Los Angeles, and The Psyched Soul™ Academy - an integration coaching & business mastery certification program for emerging psychedelic leaders. Her approach draws from transpersonal psychology, Eastern philosophy and shamanism, fusing ancient wisdom with modern practices for a ‘Psyched’ lifestyle.
Topics discussed on this episode ...
- Shiri's career in psychedelics was born from a heart opening MDMA experience that expanded her awareness and revealed that she couldn't continue living life from the "small shell" she grew up in
- The common thread in her previous work was creativity and a desire to nurture and connect with other people, but she couldn't find satisfaction and kept changing directions in search of her true soul medicine
- She prayed for change and psychedelics came into her life
- She is guided professionally by listening to what services are needed and creating businesses from there
- To be a high calibre integration coach you need to have gone deep in that process yourself over a significant period of time
- Shiri's integration coach training is really three programs in one: a personal integration healing journey, a professional coaching program, and a sacred business mastery program
- Her intention is to create social change, but she can't do this with one-on-one coaching only – she is now multiplying her impact through group work
- She's teaching people how to become leaders in their community and to create a programs about the change THEY want to see in the world
- Not enough is said about how potentially dangerous psychedelics are: as much as they can help heal and manage psychological conditions, they can also cause them
- Shiri has started speaking publicly about her own challenges with mental health, which she feels in some ways have been caused by her psychedelic use
- None of the organizations she's created have been planned in her mind - she has a continually transforming vision about the way she should live her life and serve – she gives herself permission to keep changing so that she can stay in alignment with her truth
- Psychedelic integration is only one of many modalities that focus on returning to the self, self-ownership, mindfulness and self-honoring
- There is a misconception that psychedelics are a magic bullet that will heal you and all of your trauma
- Because psychedelics are so overhyped, they attract people desperate for healing and dealing with circumstantial and personality aspects that actually predispose them to the risks of psychedelic use
- There isn't a lot of medical screening, so one of the most important ways that integration coaches are serving right now is as gatekeepers of harm reduction
- If you feel called to facilitate, be aware that there's a big difference between having good intentions and having a skill set
- There are many training opportunities, and it's still the wild west – it's your responsibility to acquire the skillset to match your intentions
- You're going to gain the most thriving and abundance by supporting people that make your heart sing – find out who your soul mate clients are and focus on them

The Psyched Soul
Psychedelic School
After a profound and intense awakening experience in 1998, Daniel Shankin dove deep into his yoga and meditation practice to stabilize his realization in his body and the world. He began teaching in 2002, and took over leadership of his neighborhood yoga studio in 2004. He’s directed several teacher training programs and taught on the faculty of even more.
His work evolved into a coaching practice based on deep inquiry, and the cultivation of clarity, resilience, and heart. With the recognition that our true nature is vast and generous, wise, he strives to encourage his clients to find their own innate goodness and boundless strength.
In 2018 he founded Mt. Tam Psychedelic Integration, a community based organization focused on approaching psychedelic preparation and integration as a true spiritual practice. Tam integration offers circles, meditation classes worldwide.
In this episode, Daniel shares about ...
- His early spiritual realizations and the challenges of oscillating between touching into enlightened states and recognizing his "crap"
- How difficult it is to heal self-hatred
- Becoming a coach to help people who are getting their asses kicked by their own shadows
- The fact that our psychedelic visions rarely survive first contact with reality
- Integration as the art of the possible
- How people tend to repress their natural needs and need support unearthing and reclaiming their creativity and other deep-seated gifts and desires
- His "depth bias" – if you're coming to him for help with superficial aspects of your life, he's not the coach for you; but if you want to "reach into your guts and pull out demons and brush them off and let them fly and turn into angels", he's all in!
- How people desperately want to be seen as humans, not commodities
- The fact that while there are many formal processes one can use with integration clients, doing is much less important than simply being present and embodying empathy and compassion while allowing clients' insights to naturally emerge
- The six streams in Buddhism and how medicine work can lead a person into a "hungry ghost" realm if they are grasping for a psychedelic experience to 'fix' them but lack a concept of self-love
- His perspective on training to be a psychedelic integration coach and the importance of having the dedication and discipline to study under someone who will support you as you grow in your capacity to hold space and guide clients through their integration process
- How training to be a psychedelic integration coach also reflects care about your own development - why wouldn't you want to train?
- Navigating a world from the place of the heart - what's it like to walk a path of releasing fear?
- How he's gotten clients and grown his business by showing up consistently for 20 years and finally embracing having a 'brand'
- The notion of "psychedelic assisted coaching" to help us go deeper within, find self-compassion and integrate disparate parts of ourselves
- How his business is built on giving and goodwill
- The power of integration circles and mutual support – it's a web where everyone gets value and support through everyone else – it's not about him
- The guru model has played out – the sex scandals, guru worship, patenting, etc. that were happening in the yoga scene ten years ago are now happening in the psychedelic scene
- An integration circle is a space of practice – it's a meditation community, not a "woe is me" support group
- Psychedelic integration is new, and we're all exploring and discovering different models together
- His passion about and efforts towards ending the drug war - dismantling oppressive systems of control that are poisoning the planet and the people who live on it
- You can do what you want! Follow your true passion! "Figure out what you want to do and figure out how to pull it off" Psychedelics may help! ;-)
