The Pistachio Experience was born through my personal experience with psychedelic medicine. It all started with a life-changing ayahuasca retreat and was followed by mind and soul expanding experiences with other medicines.
Regrettably, DMT, psilocybin, LSD and other compounds are all illegal and which is why their use is driven into the shadows and conversations around their healing powers are held in secret. I want to change that and learn from those who have had such life changing experiences. Once again it is the outliers who shape positive change.
By sharing ideas, experiences and those voices who usually stay hidden I want to help change the perception of psychedelic compounds. I am honoured and humbled that you are part of tis journey.
My dear friend Adam introduced me to Claire. He said: "you should speak to Claire on your podcast. She loves medicine, and also, she is a light activation coach."
Through experience, I am open to anything, but even I, in my most receptive state, can sometimes be a sceptic. I trust Adam and my initial look into Clair proved that, if nothing else is a kind person. So we exchanged some voice notes and finally talked on the phone. All my ego-driven scepticism was thrown out. Claire is the real deal - she is a bringer of light.
When you hear her tell her story and listen to how she approaches life, you know that she has suffered. But this suffering was necessary only to bring out the light deep within her.
I love to see people rise to their infinite potential, especially if they do that by being of service. Claire just wants to make this world a little better. And who would ever blame her for that!
In the end, she also offers us her light language. Since we finished our conversation by talking about love, it was apt that she channelled more love to come into our lives. You may be unfamiliar with this kind of medicine - I was - but the magic that unfolded after we 'hung up the phone was beyond my 3D understanding. The rest of my afternoon was filled with peace, gratitude and love. Even in situations that would trigger me, I couldn't get started - even if I wanted. Thank you for your gift.

Artur embodies what he teaches. He is calm, almost stoically present and humble. These attributes are by any measure a great recipe for a beautiful human. Through martial art and his wondering that there must be more to the human experience he found the breath as a tool to mediate. what first was a technique, quickly became his calling and he found mentors to help him understand the foundations, only to create his own philosophy.
Psychedelics have also informed him that he is on the right path. None of are without deamons, but we all have the ability to look those deamons in the eye and invite them to share this experience together. Stone cold exorcism are only tools of the big screen:).
I am now in hot middle of practising breath under his guidence and am enrolled in his Breathwork academy. Rarely have I found such a soft, but direct access to my body and the present moment.

Dr Joe Tafur is a renowned MD and shamanic healer. This skillset sets him apart, as most are trained in one of the two disciplines. His deep understanding of the human make up both biologically and spiritually is fascinating and one that is so very needed in the times we are in.
His book The Fellowship of the River is the perfect read for all those who are new to the ancient medicine of ayahuasca. Yet, I believe it can also broaden the understanding for those who have experienced the magic through ayahuasca. He dances a beautiful dance between the modern day understanding of health and the traditional wisdom of the Shipibo people in Peru.
In this conversation Joe shares his passion for why he has taken the leap away form a successful and promising career in the medical establishment. He talks about groundbreaking research and his wealth of knowledge is truly inspiring.
Thank you Joe for being part of The Pistachio Experience.

When you see Loui for the first time your default mode network may trick you into believing the stereotype it knows through conditioning. However, if you are lucky enough to engage in meaningful conversation with him, very quickly you notice that he does transcend every label you could possibly think of.
The person behind the label is quite remarkable. He thinks deeply about life, love and the human experience. Most importantly, he is kind and believes in the best of humans. Nevertheless, beyond the transcendence, he also has drawn a few lines in the sand and stands tall and proud when defending his moral compass.
Psychedelic medicine has informed his evolution to the man he has became and I am very honoured to have him on the podcast and also humbly call him a friend.
The capes he wears are numerous and to have an idea please follow and find out more about him here:

I met Adam years ago at a Vegan festival and his energy immediately captivated me. Back then he and his identity were still very much intrinsically connected to the vegan ideology. His brand and business went by the name “The Plant Powered PT”.
Several human evolutions later he has decided that his approach to life has changed, that he has changed. It fascinates me how open and vulnerable he approaches his human experience and I am always left feeling better and more connected to self. I hope you do to.
You can connect with Adam on Instagram here, or read his musings on his website.
I hope you like the conversation.
Love,
Roman
