Modern Psychedelics

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

It is very common to desire lifestyle changes after a meaningful consciousness-altering experience. So, why do so many of us struggle with actually making the change? Integrating lifestyle change is some of the slowest, most challenging, and grueling work. In this episode, I am sharing ten tips you can try out to make your desired lifestyle changes stick.

Topics Covered:

• The connection between identity change and lifestyle change
• Why psychedelics propel us to make lifestyle changes
• Finding out the why behind the changes you’d like to make
• High impact “domino effect” habits
• The importance of pacing with lifestyle changes
• The benefits of making the change & the costs of not making the change
• Enlisting support and being witnessed during your transformation
• Time management and organization during change
• How to have less resistance and more joy
• Cultivating curiosity over judgement
• Finding a balance vs. going to an extreme

Get your notebook out because you’re going to want to take notes from this episode. Today I am providing education on the seven levels of consciousness that you need to know if you are on a healing journey or on the path of transformation. This information has the potential to empower the way that you perceive yourself and the world around you. It will also trigger insight into some of your limiting beliefs and energetic blockages that might be keeping you stuck in life.

I'm going to share with you the seven levels of consciousness, and I am going to tell you about a research validated tool that will help you understand your own “energetic profile”. The iPEC seven levels of consciousness framework is the coaching methodology I use in my work, and it happens to pair brilliantly with psychedelics.

Topics Covered:

• How the seven levels of consciousness are useful for your journey
• Anabolic versus Catabolic energy
• Why there is not “good” or “bad” and why we need access to all the levels
• Detailed information about each level of consciousness, from 1 to 7
• The advantages and disadvantages at each level
• A research validated tool for measuring your energetic profile
• How to use this framework with psychedelics

The women of the psychedelic underground stand in stark contrast to psychedelic therapists, clinicians and researchers. In some ways, they hold much more wisdom and knowledge about working with these medicines. It’s an honor to have Dr. Rachel Harris back on the podcast to discuss this. Since we last spoke, she has released a new book called Swimming in the Sacred: Lessons from the Psychedelic Underground.

This is one of the most important books written about psychedelics, as it shines a light on the wisdom and work done by elder women psychedelic guides. Dr. Rachel Harris has been in private practice for 40 years as a psychologist. Later in her career, she began exploring psychedelics for healing and transformation. In this conversation, we dissect what exactly transformation is, and the qualities that these underground elder guides have, making them so effective at facilitating transformation (which is very different from healing).

Listen in for a chance to win a copy of Swimming in the Sacred!

Topics Covered:

• The difference between a transformation and the therapeutic process
• Signs of transformation that psychedelic guides look for
• How underground guides transition from their healing journey to guiding
• Differences between underground guides and psychedelic therapists
• How underground guides view integration
• Psychedelics and plant medicine as a way of life
• Navigating the “subtle realms” and expanded states of consciousness
• The quality of fearlessness in psychedelics guides
• Being aware of ego inflation as a psychedelic guide

This episode is so personal and vulnerable that I am almost uncomfortable sharing it publicly. I share my entire life story and my healing journey out of the darkness. I take listeners through the formation  of my core wounds and self-destructive narratives, which ultimately left me depressed, anxious, lost, and disempowered to move my life forward in a positive direction.

But that’s only half of the story. The second half is the documentation of my healing journey with therapy,  medicine work and self-discovery. By sharing these details, I am shining a light of the gift of the struggle. Most of my life has been an uphill battle, but in recent years I have reached a place of peace, happiness and fulfillment. And most of all, gratitude for it ALL!

Please consume this episode with nothing but love, as the specifics shared are very vulnerable and done with the aim of inspiring and giving hope to others who are also struggling in life. One thing is for sure: It’s possible to get to the other side, and life can be better than you ever thought possible.

Topics Covered:

• Being born into a war and fleeing the country
• The refugee experience as a young girl
• My first portal into self awareness and reflection
• My first taste of rejection and comparison energy
• Early experiences using alcohol & drugs to self-medicate
• How cystic acne and my weight made my self-confidence plummet
• The development of my core wounding & self-destructive narratives
• Struggles with finding my career path and purpose
• My first ever experience with MDMA & how I changed
• Grad school: my dark night of the soul + mental health hell
• The moment everything crashed and the misalignment became clear
• Being a doormat in romantic relationships
• Recovering from codependent patterns & loss of love
• Replacing psychotherapy with Ayahuasca
• How Microdosing and coaching started moving me forward

Dr. Rick Strassman is gracing us with his wisdom today! He has appeared on the #1 global show, The Joe Rogan podcast, so it’s quite a treat for us to hear from him on this corner of the podcasting world.

Dr. Rick Strassman needs no introduction: he is the leading global authority on DMT. About twenty years ago, he authored the infamous book discussing the DMT trails he ran in the early 80s (DMT: The Spirit Molecule). In this episode, you can expect to learn a lot about nn-DMT (not to be confused with 5-MeO-DMT). Rick educates us on what we know about this mysterious psychedelic, the phenomenology, scientific literature, and its therapeutic potential.

Stick around until the end because we have a lot of fun talking about recreational psychedelic experiences, and he tells us the story of how Terence McKenna served him his first DMT dose. We also announce a giveaway for his latest book The Psychedelic Handbook.

Topics Covered:

• What drew Dr. Strassman to study DMT
• His DMT trials that took place in the early 1990s
• What a typical DMT experience is like
• nn-DMT vs 5-MeO-DMT
• What we know about endogenous DMT
• The mysterious role of endogenous DMT in the human brain
• Scientific literature looking at DMT as a therapeutic
• Who is DMT for?
• Recreational use of DMT
• Rick’s first DMT experience, with Terence McKenna
• Integrating DMT experiences
• The issue of adverse effects to psychedelics

Cannabis is a slippery slope: It feels like addiction and over-indulgence are always around the corner. But for the most part, I’ve developed a practice and relationship with cannabis that has been supportive to my life. In this episode, I reflect on my relationship with the plant, how it’s changed, and the role it played in my overall healing journey.

While getting high is fun and has its place, cannabis really taught me to enjoy my time alone and explore my inner landscape. It’s also been instrumental as a creative and expressive tool while producing this podcast. I also present the advantages and potential pitfalls of cannabis, and finding a personal balance with usage. The episode further touches on my change in cannabis consumption patterns over time, my favorite consumption method, and cannabis usage in a social setting.

Topics Covered:

• The role of cannabis during my healing journey
• Learning to be alone & love myself
• My personal relationship with cannabis
• Cannabis as a tool for psychedelic integration
• Cannabis for creativity and podcast production
• Social consumption of cannabis
• Cannabis instead of alcohol

This conversation covers details about 5-MeO-DMT that have not yet been explored seriously in the public sphere. We go far beyond the basics of this medicine as Steve Rio and I explore the nuances and complexities of the non-dual experience and integration process that follows. We also get into the somatic and nervous system benefits of this medicine.

Steve Rio’s understanding of this medicine has matured and deepened since we last dropped in three years ago (for episode 8; a great episode to learn the basics around 5-MeO-DMT). Steve is the co-founder of Enfold Institute, a place to experience a safe and sacred 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. He is a true embodiment of this medicine: humble, direct, pure and speaks from the heart.

We recorded this conversation in late January, two months into my integration process at a time when I was really awakening to how powerful this medicine is. I share a few stories of some intense reactivations post-journey, and what I’ve been learning and integrating.

Enjoy this raw and clear conversation — just like 5-MeO-DMT.

Topics Covered:

• How 5-MeO-DMT differs from other psychedelics
• How to make sense of a non-dual experience in a dual world
• Tension while integrating an awakening experience
• Dissecting the non-dual experience
• Energetic release and nervous system reset
• The rebirth experience during 5-MeO-DMT
• How 5-MeO-DMT makes one more sensitive & the gift of sensitivity
• Opening up to and allowing all of life’s experiences
• How to know if you’re ready for 5-MeO-DMT
• Maintaining accountability and ethics as a 5-MeO-DMT facilitator
• The benefits of having visual documentation from a 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
• Reactivations after a 5-MeO-DMT experience, even months after
• Increased sensitivity to other substances after 5-MeO-DMT
• The responsibility that come with awakening to non-duality

My guest today is Mikaela de la Myco. I was drawn to the way she presents herself as a mother in the psychedelic space through her platform, Mama de la Myco. I had every intention in having a conversation with her about psychedelic parenting. However, I threw out all my questions out the window and followed Mikaela’s energy; it was clear that Mikaela had so much to share with us about centering mothers, women, and indigenous voices in the psychedelic movement.

She lends us a perspective around how the psychedelic mainstream movement is falling short, and the reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry. In addition, we talk about how mushrooms are helping mothers through the challenges of the postpartum period, and how psychedelics might be useful for families.

Mikaela is currently pouring into the Mushrooms and Moms survey with support from Dr. Jim Fadiman and the Microdosing Institute. This project is surveying mothers and birthing people who consumed psilocybin mushrooms throughout their motherhood and parenting journey in order to accumulate a body of evidence for effects of psilocybin on birthing people, women and their children. If you’re a mother or birthing person, please consider contributing to this, linked n the show notes.

Topics Covered:

• The intersection of medicine woman, psychedelic mom and sacred hoe
• What is MushWomb?
• What is a sacred hoe?
• Rematriating psychedelics, earth and social resources
• The reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry
• Grassroots efforts to preserve indigenous wisdom
• How mushrooms are helping moms through the postpartum period
• Can psychedelics be for teenagers and families?
• How Mikaela overcame alcoholism with the help of mushrooms
• What is being discovered through the Mushrooms and Moms Survey

I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full release. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I let you in on the unfiltered details and share vulnerably about what drew me to this experience, the challenges I faced working with this medicine, how it went and what I learned.

5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. I experienced this as "light medicine," as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. It was the single most mystical, holy, out of this world experience of my life, and I am still making sense of it.

I also debrief on how the retreat unfolded at Enfold Institute, where I went for this medicine. 

For me, 5-MeO-DMT felt like that medicine I’ve been preparing for with all my other medicine work. If you are curious about this pure entheogenic medicine, tune in and perhaps plant a seed for you future self.  Strap in, because we’re about to go on a ride together.

Topics Covered:

• What is 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo?
• How I received the call to 5-MeO-DMT
• My intentions for the 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony
• My reflections on the retreat experience at Enfold
• Full details on my 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
• The “White Out” aka losing consciousness during 5-MeO-DMT
• Detailed recall of my physical somatic release
• Existential insights, takeaways and questions from my journey
• How my life purpose has changed after 5-MeO-DMT
• “Reactivations” after ceremony
• Unhealthy habits I’ve released since 5-MeO-DMT
• My first month of integration

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

But the current rhetoric around psychedelics presents them as mostly always good, positive, healing and helpful experiences. Jules Evans is dedicated to shining a light on the harms, challenges and dangers of psychedelics.

In this episode, Jules’ takes us through the most common post-trip challenges and offer support for those navigating these challenges. These include but are not limited to: Derealization and depersonalization, post-ecstatic blues, and alienation. We also have a fascinating conversation around sense making, when psychedelics ignite an existential paradigm shift, and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences.

Jules is a a researcher, writer, historian of ideas and practical philosopher. He is interested in ideas and practices which help being suffer less and flourish more. He has written two books, and is currently devoting his energy to the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project — researching psychedelic harm reduction, ethics and integration. They are currently researching post-trip difficulties and what helps people deal with them.

Topics Covered:

We have a veteran cannabis industry change-maker, advocate, and expert with us. With over 40 years of involvement with cannabis, Andrew DeAngelo has made a massive impact on the cannabis space. And the psychedelic space stands on the shoulders of the cannabis industry.

I had so much fun talking to Andrew DeAngelo (both our cheeks were hurting at the end of the interview from laughing and smiling so much). Which is fitting because we discuss how cannabis has a very humorous teaching style.

Cannabis is a medicine I love and have a beautiful relationship with, yet I actually don't know too much about it. So, it's an honor to be learning together with you, the listeners! You might be surprised at some of Andrew’s advice for approaching cannabis.

Expect to learn a lot, be inspired by Andrew's presence, and be straight-up entertained with his “war on drugs” era stories.

Topics covered:

• Andrew’s 40 years of bringing cannabis & psychedelics out of the shadows
• How Cannabis lifted Andrew out of depression during his teen years
• Reflecting on navigating stigma in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s
• Cannabis “Hip-story,” prohibition & targeting specific communities
• The origin story of cannabis
• What is cannabis useful for?
• Terpenes and aromatics in cannabis
• Why cannabis is so confusing for consumers
• What you actually need to know when choosing a cannabis strain
• THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids
• Staying open and curious while navigating cannabis
• The spirit of cannabis and teaching style of cannabis

After 30+ ayahuasca journeys, I finally got to experience the Shipibo medicine with a direct lineage. It was a beautiful experience and a lot has changed for me since then. Overall, I feel ligher, brighter, and more comfortable in my skin. In this episode, I am giving you an integration update: what exactly has changed for me, what steps have I taken to integrate the insights, and what's different about me as a person?

I hope this episode inspire you to continue to learn and grow with plant medicines. I started sitting with ayahuasca years ago when I was totally broken, and even though I am not in that place anymore, the plants continue to teach and guide me. No matter where we are in our journey, the plants have so much to teach us.

If you haven't listened to the journey reports, check out episode 60 & 64 (linked in the show notes).

Could this succulent from South Africa be a daily ally for managing anxiety and depression? Research says yes. Some of the active alkaloids found in Kanna have been well researched and are now prescribed for treating such mental health conditions.  Not only is Kanna well researched, it is also legal and has very low risk profile. 

Kanna is an empathogen, meaning it increases feelings of connection and empathy towards oneself and others. Rather than being a deep and intense psychedelic experience, Kanna is more often used as a gentle daily support. While it has been used ceremonially in high doses within indigenous cultures, Kanna also offers support as a supplement  (microdose) rather than a high dose experience.

Delivering all this fascinating information to us is Ryan Latreille, founder of TWO Kanna companies. He tell us everything we need to know about this plant, in addition to how it has a use case in recreational settings, replacing other more toxic substances. We also cover indigenous use, contraindications, empathogens vs psychedelics, and so much more!

I am SO excited about Kanna, and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Don't forget to share it with a friend who might find this information valuable! 

Topics covered:

• Ryan’s story and how he got involved with Kanna
• What is kanna?
• Kanna as a therapeutic for depression and anxiety
• Kanna as a recreational experience
• How the Khoi and San people have traditionally worked with Kanna
• How Kanna Extract Co is working with traditional communities in South Africa
• What is an empathogen and why they’re so healing
• Active alkaloids in Kanna & how they impact you
• Kanna dosing guidelines
• Kanna for microdosing or a daily supplement
• Contraindications & risk factors with Kanna
• The neuroscience behind Kanna
• Kanna vs MDMA

Courtney Barnes is a attorney in the psychedelic & cannabis space. She thought she was "good" ... until she wasn't. Today, she is sharing her story of taking a step back from lawyering, in order to go inward. She shares about how her recent Ibogaine & Ayahuasca journeys have illuminated the depth of this work. As a result, she is better able to understand the nuances of policy and regulation around psychedelics. 

One of the important lessons she learned is the importance of incorporating preparation, integration & harm reduction within policy frameworks. Her story shows how important it is for people in the psychedelic space to have an understanding of psychedelic altered states , as we’re creating a totally new medical and therapeutic paradigm unlike ever before.

This episode is a testament to how important it is for people working in the psychedelic space -- especially within regulatory roles -- to actually understand what its like to go deep with psychedelics. Courtney also provides listeners with the latest updates in policy and regulation. 

Topics covered:

• Courtney’s recent Ayahuasca ceremony and healing the divine feminine
• How ibogaine treatment catalyzed her spiritual awakening
• Taking a step back from work while going inwards to heal trauma
• How Courtney’s healing break has informed her Psychedelic Advocacy work

Let's talk about Kanna! This is a legal, safe and well-researched plant medicine from South Africa. In today's episode, Jenny and I are giving you an introduction to this little succulent, and sharing about our experience microdosing Kanna. 

Kanna is a psychedelic-adjacent plant that is psycho-active but  classified as an empathogen rather than a psychedelic. Still, there are many benefit to working with it in a similar way we work with psychedelics. It is a heart-opening medicine that invites us to slow down and ease stress.

As the season are changing, we are both experiencing a time of transition, which is the perfect time to do a microdosing protocol. The best part? Kanna is completely legal and accessible within North America. Stay tuned for a future episode where I will be interviewing a Kanna expert for a much deeper dive into this medicine.

Topics covered:

• How to know its time to do a microdosoing protocol
• Microdosing to ease transitional periods
• Kanna is legal and accessible
• Kanna is a heart opening empathogenic
• A little intro to Kanna and its indigenous uses
• What is Kanna useful for?
• Ethical sourcing of Kanna
• Our intentions for microdosing with Kanna

PUBLISHERS NOTE: As of January 2024, I can no longer recommend Reunion as a place to experience plant medicine. See full statement HERE. This does not pertain to the guests in the episode, whom I still endorse as medicine providers.

Ayahuasca and Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are a beautiful gift to humanity. As we explore these medicines in the West, we need to remember that we are entering a cultural paradigm that is different from our own. In this interview with Sr. Program Directors at Reunion Experience, we explore how we can show up to medicine in a good way.

If you want to enter medicine spaces with respect, reverence, and reciprocity for the cultures that these medicines come from, this conversation is for you. This convo is extremely valuable for current or aspiring space holders in the world of plant medicine, AND, for participants in plant medicine circles. 

I had an opportunity to visit Reunion in Costa Rica, and realized that it's a truly special place. The fact that it's a not for profit center is the tip of the iceberg. Medicine is truly guiding the way the Reunion team operates: With deep humility, grace, reverence and respect for the cultures, plant teachers, and the Way of Nature.

Karina and Julian are not speaking on behalf of any of the lineages they work with, rather from their experiences as students and cultural bridges.

Topics covered:

• How they both got involved with facilitating plant medicine experiences
• A little bit about Reunion Experience in Costa Rica, a not for profit plant medicine center
• Building relationship with different Wisdom Keepers and teachers
• Reciprocity and the art of giving and receiving under a not for profit model
• What it means and looks like to put people and the planet over profit
• What is a cultural bridge & how to be one
• The path of studentship with direct indigenous wisdom keepers
• What does respect in medicine spaces mean?
• Plant medicine as a relationship, not a tool
• Land stewardship & devotion to the elements
• Creating narrative neutral spaces for exploring spirituality

Jennifer Chesak is an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist, editor, and fact-checker based in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned her master of science degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill. And her work has appeared in the Washington Post, Healthline, Better Homes and Gardens, The Daily Beast, B*tch, and more. 

Her most recent book is The Psilocybin Handbook for Women: How Magic Mushrooms, Psychedelic Therapy, and Microdosing Can Benefit Your Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Health. Her mission here as a journalist stems from being a woman who has been fed up with women being left behind by the medical system. In this episode she shares some of the events that led her to psilocybin, and writing this book. 

Jennifer actually interviewed me for the set and setting chapter of this book, so you can find me in chapter 10! I wanted to bring her on the show to share everything she’s learned while writing this book. She has a wealth of information from how to microdose and trip sit to understanding the latest psychedelic research, and incorporating indigenous wisdom. The Psilocybin Handbook for Women is a resource for everyone, although it features information specific to those assigned female at birth—because psychedelics may have different effects and applications across the sexes.

Topics covered:

• Why do we need a book on psilocybin for women?
• Health condition women tend to self-treat with psilocybin
• Ways psilocybin affects women differently than men
• How psychedelics affect the menstrual cycle
• Can psilocybin regulate the menstrual cycle?
• Microdosing mushrooms and the menstrual cycle
• The optimal menstrual phase to have a mushroom journey
• Two Eyed Seeing: Bridging science and ingenious wisdom
• Psilocybin for people who are breastfeeding or pregnant
• How parents are managing working with psychedelics
• Can psilocybin boost your sex life?
• Sexual abuse, safety and consent in the psychedelic space

It’s the ketamine episode you’ve been waiting for! Ketamine is not technically a (classic) psychedelic, yet it behaves like one. Many researchers and scientists in the psychedelic space consider it to be a psychedelic, and are applying the psychedelic assisted psychotherapy model to its use.

This episode is a treasure trove of information for those who are considering ketamine for treatment, and those who want to learn more about this “chameleon” drug. Delivering this information is Dr. Kyle Greenway; a highly respected ketamine researcher and psychiatrist. He keeps a low profile, so it was truly special to have him on the show.

Dr. Greenway is a psychiatrist and assistant professor at McGill University. He completed a research fellowship at Imperial's psychedelic research centre and co-led the development of two academic clinics utilizing ketamine in treatment-resistant depression. These clinics are amongst the only services in the world to provide ketamine-assisted therapy in public healthcare systems.

Beyond his academic accolades, Dr. Greenway is very fun to learn from. I promise you that even though this conversation is highly academic, we had a lot of fun talking about serious subject matter.

Topics covered:

• What is Ketamine? & its history
• Why Ketamine is so dose-dependent
• Why Ketamine is a “chameleon” drug
• How Ketamine started to be used for mental health conditions
• Ketamine vs classic psychedelics
• The “after glow” / anti-depressive effect
• Risks with abusing ketamine, such as “ketamine bladder”
• Who and what ketamine is effective for
• Why the “inner healing intelligence” might be harmful
• What a ketamine treatment protocol looks like
• The future of psychedelic assisted therapy and ketamine

Welcome to The Journey: A series that shines a light on real people on their psychedelic journey. In this episode, I am interviewing my dear coaching client, Samantha Mlinar, about her psychedelic journey. She shares very generously about her fierce transformation over the last year.

Sam has cleared and transformed so many energy blocks around people pleasing, the inner critic, body image, mediocre wellness, and attachments to outcomes. She has been able to use psychedelics, coaching and other tools to move forward fiercely in her career, romantic relationship, friendships, and other areas.

The Psychedelic Path is all about discovering who you are and finding the tools that work for YOU. Sams journey of letting go of what wasn’t meant for her and opening up to new possibilities will inspire anyone who is feeling stuck.

Topics covered:

• How Sams religious upbringing set the stage for psychedelic exploration
• Working through people pleasing and over-giving
• Creating space for oneself to grow
• Releasing black and white thinking and the need to be right
• How to blend psychedelic experiences with coaching
• Learning there are not quick fixes, rather to enjoy the process
• Releasing attachment to outcomes and becoming the observer
• Balancing a psychedelic lifestyle with other tools and life
• Healing body image and wellness practices
• Weening off Adderall with mushroom microdosing
• Confronting the inner critic

Beloved Iboga Provider Levi Barker is back! We recorded this episode live in person in Costa Rica, while I was visiting Iboga Wellness Center in May 2023. In this episode, we go deeper into exploring this beautiful medicine and the Bwiti tradition. If you are considering working with Iboga or want to learn more, this episode is full of information that isn’t available elsewhere.

The Bwiti tradition is the study of life, and we are so lucky that Levi is sharing a little bit about it with us today. This is something that is typically only reserved for those on on Bwiti Iboga retreat. We talk about how this medicine helps us find truth by simplifying life.

Levi also provides some reflections on changes he has seen in me since my ceremonies 6 months ago. And, he plays the Moungongo for us on the show — which is a traditional Bwiti instrument. Enjoy this one! See show notes for more on my full review of IWC and to connect with Levi.

Topics covered:

• Levi’s story: How he healed his opiate addition with Iboga & trained to become a provider
• Do you need to have experience with other medicine before Iboga?
• Iboga’s gift of truth and simplicity
• The difference between the Truth and beliefs
• How Bwiti use the mind as a tool & confirm truth
• The difference between having positive and negative beliefs
• The one law — the Law of Nature — in the Bwiti tradition
• Ways we abuse ourselves and lose our happiness
• Levi’s reflection on my Iboga Journey
• How Levi works with Iboga as a provider
• The future of Iboga and expanding access
• The Moungongo Bwiti instrument (and a live performance from Levi!)

PUBLISHERS NOTE: As of January 2024, I can no longer recommend Reunion as a place to experience plant medicine. See full statement HERE.

In this episode, I am sharing about my first experience sitting with Shipibo Ayahuasca, and my first time working with a direct lineage. This was a completely new medicine and experience for me, and despite going feeling disconnected to Ayahuasca, I had a very powerful and beautiful experience.

After 30+ sits with a different lineage of this medicine, I finally got to meet the spirit of Ayahuasca. I received so many beautiful treasures and gifts about trusting myself, healing my gut, and how to walk in reverence and respect.

What I talked about:

• First impressions at Reunion Experience in Costa Rica
• The Shipibo style of Ayahuasca ceremony
• Receiving Ikaros (sacred songs) from the Maestras
• Navigating my doubts and disconnection with Ayahuasca medicine
• How I stopped resisting the medicine
• Swimming in a Shipibo visionary state
• Lessons on reverence and respect from Ayahuasca
• Trusting myself & syncing my gut with my heart
• Lettings go pre-conceived notions about Ayahuasca
• Learning about the intelligence of the human body

Psychedelic integration is deeply personal. There's no guidebook. There's no right or wrong way to do it, but there are a few things that we can keep in mind to really make the most out of these powerful experiences. Today I am sharing five things you might not know about integration, and coaching prompts to take your process deeper.

We want to make sure that we are educated about and prioritizing integration. Whether you are experiencing psychedelics in a clinical, ceremonial, or recreational container, integration is essential if you really wanna make the most out of the experience.

What I talked about:

• There is no destination, there is only the journey
• How to maintain judgment over curiosity during integration
• Meaning-making matters & how to create powerful meaning
• Differentiating Truth from perception
• Taking action AND allowing insights to deepen
• Creating space for insights to deeper and the path forward to reveal itself
• Giving the psychedelic integration process time and space
• Integration that happens within a psychedelic experience or ceremony

Anyone who has worked with Iboga (or ibogaine) or is feeling the call will gain a lot of valuable information in this episode. It’s not a secret that there are severe sustainability issues with this powerful medicine. Not only is the medicine (the Iboga tree) being threatened, but so is the cultural heritage underpinning it.

Blessings of the Forest (BOTF) is non-profit organization working on the ground with the Gabonese to preserve, research and share knowledge about the medicinal plants and indigenous traditions of the Gabonese forest people for the benefit of all of humanity. Their impact is beyond planting iboga trees: they are working with the Gabonese to define and uphold right relationship with Westerners who want to work with Iboga.

This is a beautiful episode full of nuanced information about Iboga, Bwiti and Gabon. I interviewed David Nassim, BOTF’s co-director, who was so generous in his sharing. He took us through how the Western World has put a huge strain on access to Iboga for the Gabonese, and offers solutions such as upholding the Nagoya protocol, Voacanga Africana as a sustainable ibogaine alternative, and more importantly, really listening to what the Gabonese want and need.

Please donate to BOFT, with only 30 Euros you can sponsor an Iboga tree to be planted in Gabon. If you have worked with Iboga, it’s advised that you sponsor 3-5 trees.

PRODUCTION NOTE: The last few minutes of David’s mic is lower quality, but hang in there for his parting words of wisdom.

Topics covered:

• Iboga sustainability & supply line issues that inspired the formation of Blessings of the Forest
• How the Western World has put a huge strain on access to Iboga for the Gabonese
• Voacanga Africana as a sustainable ibogaine alternative
• How Blessings of the Forest is working on the ground with the Gabonese
• What the West can learn from the Bwiti way of living
• The current process of defining what reciprocity looks like for the Gabonese
• How to support BOTF, the Gabonese and Iboga sustainability

I wish I had the information in this podcast years ago when I was stuck in the never-ending healing journey. This conversation is a call move away from hyper-individualism and instead turn “one eye inwards, and one eye outward.”

Adam spent more than four years conducting research and extensive fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, where he also facilitated Ayahuasca workshops in the context of shamanic and medical tourism. He is the creator of Healing from Healing, a social media platform that casts a critical, skeptical and humorous gaze at Healing Culture.

Adam has insights and reflections based on his years of experience overseeing participants of ayahuasca ceremonies. He challenges the commonly heard (harmful) narratives, sense-making and spiritual orientations of medicine guides.

This episode will give you a fresh perspective of the healing journey. Once we get over how triggering it is to call out our own “psychedelic narcissism,” we can see an alternative path; one that is oriented towards not just the individual, but the social, cultural and environmental systems that need healing just as much as individuals do.

Topics covered:

• Psychedelic Narcissism: what is it & how to spot it
• The dangers in sense-making psychedelic experiences as absolute Truth
• The dangers of going into psychedelic experiences with the narrative of healing childhood trauma
• How the orientation of medicine providers primes certain experiences
• Creating narrative-neutral medicine spaces
• Hyper-individualism and con-spirituality within plant medicine culture
• The link between individual health and cultural, social and environmental health
• Transitioning into service from the “never-ending healing journey”
• How control and fear of uncertainty perpetrate psychedelic narcissism

It’s time to lift the snobbery of the psychedelic space and accept that recreational spaces are just as valid, beautiful, healing and meaningful as ceremonial or therapeutic spaces. Creating meaningful recreational experiences comes down to pscyho-education, preparation, following harm reduction protocols, set, and setting (no surprise there).

Join me for this incredible episode with DanceSafe, a non-profit committed to ending the drug war and promoting health and safety within nightlife and music communities.

Jessica Breemen, Chief Growth & Impact Officer at DanceSafe, gives us important risk reduction and benefit maximization information for the recreational setting. The purpose of this episode is to provide accurate and potentially life saving information information; it is not intended to promote drug use, rather, to shine a light on the reality of recreational containers, which is so far from the “drug-war” narrative.

As we move into social acceptance of psychedelics, I believe that it’s crucial that we do not stigmatize certain types of use while allowing others. Humans have been altering their consciousness with a wide variety of substances forever, and will continue to do so. It makes no sense to gatekeep and stigmatize certain substances while allowing other largely toxic and harmful ones — alcohol — to be so freely used and accepted.

Topics covered:

• This history and mission behind DanceSafe
• Stigmas and myths about recreational drug use
• The reality of adulteration and how to reduce risk
• Early signs of dependency & problematic use to look out for
• Harm reduction tips to employ for all substances
• Risk education & benefit maximization protocols for MDMA, Ketamine, LSD and Mushrooms
• The importance of mindset and community when engaging in recreational psychedelics
• How to properly “test before you ingest” with reagents
• What you need to know about Fentanyl
• The sacredness of (safe) nightlife culture/the rave & why preserving it is important

"Iboga shows you the truth. And when you see the truth you’re not confused anymore. And when you’re not confused anymore, life becomes easier and lighter."

The highly anticipated part 2 of my Iboga experience is here! If you missed part 1, I suggest you listen to that first over at episode 45. I recorded this two months after this experience and my love and respect for this medicine continues to deepen. This was a life changing, life affirming experience and I don't think I will ever be the same after iboga.

In this episode, I share about the second iboga ceremony at Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. It was a wildly different experience from the first one, and I learned about what true inner peace means and how to access it. The beautiful thing about this experience was that I was already starting to integrate new behaviours during the retreat.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, firstly, to the Bwiti people who have opened their doors to Westerners, and allowing us to receive the iboga medicine and learn about the bwiti way of living. Thank you to Levi & Iboga Wellness for such a beautiful, safe and transformational experience. Thank you to the land & and Earth. Lastly, thank you to all the people involved with holding iboga & bwiti in reverence, and especially to those working to safeguard both the sacred wood and the bwiti culture. I bow to you. Bassé!

• Precautions, disclaimers, and sustainability issues around working with iboga
• Recounting days 4-8 at Iboga Wellness Center

Today we are going to be exploring something that is on the cutting edge of spirituality and personal growth these days- darkness retreats. This consists of spending three to ten days in the pitch darkness and solitude. It’s a profound experience that is very  psychedelic (without the substances).

It comes as no surprise that darkness therapy is an ancient modality that has been used by ancient indigenous peoples across the globe. Only recently has it reached North America, and the founder of the first darkness retreat in America  is today's guest.

Scott Berman is the creator and founder of Sky Cave Retreats. Throughout the last decade, he has spent over two years in self-guided solo retreats in remote wilderness. He did his first dark retreat in 2012 and has spent over 70 days in multiple darkness retreats and has also done a couple with his wife. He has supported and facilitated over 250 dark retreats at his center in Ashland, Oregon.

We talk about the similarities and differences between darkness medicine and plant medicine, endogenous DMT production in the darkness, redefining spirituality, and so much more.

FREE MASTERCLASS on Feb. 8: Microdosing & Flow State

Topics covered:

• What darkness retreats are & the ancient indigenous roots
• Reasons why someone might want to go into the darkness
• How the darkness teaches us to simply be, allow, rest, and surrender
• Releasing & redefining what spirituality is “supposed to” look like
• How a darkness retreat generally unfolds & common learnings from the darkness

• Similarities and differences between darkness medicine and plant medicine
• Endogenous DMT production & psychedelic visions during darkness retreats

The recreational use of psychedelics is a deeply meaningful experience for many people yet there is a lot of shame around it. The spiritual community loves to knock partying as “low vibe” which is downright incorrect; some of my most beautiful memories have been at parties and on dance floors. These FUN experiences are equally as valid as the therapeutic ones.

It's time to break the stigma around the recreational use of psychedelics.

This episode is an important listen regardless of whether you party with psychedelics or not. By consuming this information you will be a part of breaking the stigma around ALL types of intentional and safe psychedelic use. As long as we are educated, safe and intentional, there is nothing wrong with psychedelics in a recreational context. In fact, it can enrich our lives and provide deep meaning and connections.

I brought on two of my friends and dance floor comrades, Jenalle and Kevin, to explore this topic. Jenny is doing amazing work in the psychedelic space with her journal company, Wakeful Travel—a ceremony-companion company that works with wakeful partners to provide tools that aid in transformation and self-exploration. Kevin is a creative director and a true champion of the party spirit. He brightens up my life in with his playful spirit.

Both guests are intentional in every part of their lives, including partying. This episode embodies the spirit of an unforgettable party—it’s fun, light and goofy, even while exploring the more serious considerations around partying and drugs.

Topics covered in this episode:

• How the history of house music + rave culture parallels the story of psychedelics
• Integrating meaningful dance floor experiences and insights into everyday life
• How electronic music, intentional community and psychedelics all come together to create a very special experience
• The crossover between recreational and therapeutic use: the dance floor as a therapeutic experience and form of release
• Fun, goofiness, play and shenanigans for the sake of fun, without making it about healing
• Balancing partying with medicine work and life
• Intentionality, moderation, safety and mindfulness when partying

Psychedelics allow us to release these things so that we don't have to carry them anymore or pass them on to future generations. It didn't start with us, but it gets to end with us. For us, this has given such a deeper meaning to the work which is beyond ourselves. In today's episode, we are sharing our experiences with ancestral healing sparked by ayahuasca ceremonies.

What we talked about:

• Intergenerational trauma: the spiritual perspective and the epigenetics perspective
• Zoey coming to a place of working with the physical body to heal and process ancestral trauma
• Lana sitting through and healing family trauma of experiencing war and clearing trauma from her father’s lineage
• How “doing your work” ripples out to all of humanity - past and present
• How the universe responds to changes in you as a result of your healing
• Tools we use to connect with ancestors

Mentioned in the episode:

• Intergenerational trauma study
• Episode 18 with Mariah Gannessa
• It Didn’t Start With You [book]
• The Body Keeps The Score [book]
• The Dark Side of the Light Chasers [book]
• Episode 1 with Lana and Zoey
