In the first half of this episode, Shen Leidigh discusses some of his life experiences and relates them to the psychedelic nature of life in general. In the second half, he describes a solo 61-day vision quest in the wilderness that took a turn for the worse when he ran out of food with a few days left. This led to a life-changing psychedelic experience that had a profound effect in his life. The experience didn't eliminate his depression, but Shen has found that since his vision quest, his mental health has improved and he's seen an increase in his creativity and artistic abilities.
