Rak Razam is the world's leading experiential journalist, writing about and helping shape the emergence of a new cultural paradigm in the 21st century. A writer, film producer and culture maker, he preaches the worlds of shamanism consciousness and popular culture.

Join me as I ask Rak:* What does he mean by expanded consciousness?* What are people on Ayahuasca generally seeking?* Where does he see entheogens playing a role in future society?* Who should not pursue entheogens?

Rak also shares with us:* The different meanings of medicines and disease in indigenous cultures of the world.* What entheogens are and how different cultures use them for their wellbeing.* How people are using shamanic medicines to expand their consciousness.

Rak is passionate about life and the experiences he has had, and his eagerness is contagious:"What I've come to see in the last decade is reconciliation between the old world and the new world, and this understanding that there's only one world!""Consciousness is like this ten-bar spectrum - and we've only been using one bar of our capacity."
