If the word "psychedelic" makes you think of Woodstock, the 1960's, and people dropping out of society--you are behind the times. While still prohibited by law, some once-considered "bad boys" of the drug culture (LSD, Psilocybin MDMA) are now being seriously studied by science and found to be not only completely non-addictive, but more effective in the relief of anxiety, addiction, and depression than any known or traditional treatment.

Having studied the variety of ways to alter and change consciousness for decades, today's special guest Sparrow Hart will be discussing both the incredible promise of psychedelics as well as potential pitfalls for their misuse in an addictive and distraction-seeking culture.

Sparrow Hart has been talking about “medicine” for decades. His personal journey includes the twelve steps; a long apprenticeship in the Toltec and Castaneda tradition; dream exploration, psychodrama, inner child work, and a wide range of shamanic practices. He has offered workshops on Medicine Wheel teachings, traveled to the Amazon to explore medicine plants, and taught about medicine names, songs, and encounters with medicine animals.

The quests and workshops Sparrow offers reflect his personal journey and what he holds important.His mission (and joy) is sharing them with others. They “join earth and sky” through affirming and addressing what’s universal, archetypal, transcendent, and eternal; while applying these techniques and wisdom teachings to the distress, difficulties, and dilemmas of our personal histories and the lives we’re living now.

He is the author of several books including, Letters to the River: A Guide to a Dream Worth Living

What have the hippies ever done for us? Well....prepare for a wild trip as today's special guest Matthew Ingram takes us back to the summer of love, and shows how it changed forever our ideas about, and practices of, wellness, medicine, and health. His upcoming book Retreat is an enthralling and immersive history, the first book to trace the connections between the 60s and 70s counterculture and health and wellness.

The counterculture of the Sixties and the Seventies is remembered chiefly for music, fashion, art, feminism, black power, and the New Left. But an until-now unexplored, yet no less important, aspect is its relationship with health.

As debates about the provision of healthcare rage across the US in 2020, few know that the hippies of Haight-Ashbury were providing free community healthcare in 1967. The Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic was founded in that year, and resulted in a much larger legacy in the form of the nationwide institution the Free Clinic, unique in a country without provision for the neediest in society.

That is just one of countless fascinating examples in the head-spinning trip which Matthew Ingram takes us on in Retreat. Ingram connects the dots between the beats, yoga, meditation, psychedelics, psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, sex, and veganism, showing how the hippies still have a lot to teach us about our wellbeing.

Matthew Ingram has thrown raves in West Africa, written for Teletubbies, was fleetingly in the electronic band The Black Dog, created the cult music blog Woebot, has written for the Wire and FACT magazines, set up the Dissensus forum, and has put out a series of LPs. His "Vitamin C" animated documentary was shown at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival.

Jude Morrow knew that Jupiter has seventy-nine known moons and where the swimming pool was located on the Titanic, yet he didn’t know how to connect with his beautiful son who called him “Daddy.

In Jude's book,”Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? he gives a candid view of life and love through the eyes of an autistic adult—who went from being a nonverbal and aggressive child to a hard working and responsible father to a non-autistic son.

Growing up autistic, Jude Morrow faced immense challenges and marginalization, but he was able to successfully—though not without difficulty—finish university and transition into a successful career and eventually parenthood. Those with autism can have difficulty understanding the world around them and can find it hard to find their voice, but in this poignant and honest memoir, Jude defiantly uses his found voice to break down the misconceptions and societal beliefs surrounding autism, bringing hope to all who live with autism as well as those who care for someone on the spectrum.

Jude views his autism as a gift to be shared, not a burden to be pitied, and as he demonstrates through his honest recollections and observations, autistic people’s lives can be every bit as happy and fulfilling as those not on the spectrum.

Have you ever struggled to attract the person you wanted in the past? Have you ever wondered why some relationships that you thought were perfect didn’t work out?

Have you been struggling to find love in your life? If so, this is the perfect opportunity for you to begin again with a fresh start.

Are you looking for “the one” or someone to share your love and life with? Today's special guest, relationship expert, Arnoux (are-know) Goran, is here today to reveal his secrets for attracting a divine love that have allowed his program to work successfully for thousands of people when others haven’t. If you are not looking for “the one” or a “soulmate” Arnoux will share some of the universal principles of creating anything you desire in life, and some of the reasons why vison boards, visualization, the law of attraction, positive thinking, willpower and other methods don’t always work.

Arnoux (are-know) Goran (gor-an) was raised by two deaf crack addicts and left for dead at 22. He now lives a J. Paul Getty life in Southern California. After years of research, hard work, resilience and prayers he “cracked the code” of the human mind and invented The 7 Steps to Reprogramming Yourself, the first ever proven method to access the unconscious mind and remove old repeating negative thoughts and emotions… permanently. He is the founder of Total Health Mastery University and has changed the lives of many thousands of people all over the world.

According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), a sexual assault occurs every 73 seconds in the United States. For victims of sexual assault, the effects can be long-term, with the likelihood of suicide, depressive thoughts, and/or PTSD symptoms increasing after an assault. Yet, the majority of victims do not report their rapes, and the majority of assailants will not be brought to justice—for every 1000 assaults, 995 perpetrators will not serve jail or prison sentences. 

Today's special guest, Karen Stefano knows these statistics too well, as both the victim of an assault and as a lawyer. As she was working on her book What a Body Remembers, she was shocked by how many other women shared with her that they, too, had been victims of assault. “And they would share their own story, and that simple act of sharing would unburden them, I believe,” Stefano explains.

Karen chronicles the journey to reclaim her life after her sexual assault in her memoir. As a nineteen-year-old sophomore at UC Berkeley in 1984, she leaves her job as a uniformed campus police aide, walks home alone in darkness, and is assaulted by a man at knife-point.

Karen Stefano is a JD/MBA with more than twenty years of complex litigation experience and has written extensively on the topics of sexual assault and the criminal justice system. She has the unique experience of having lived inside the criminal justice system from virtually every angle—working in law enforcement, a District Attorney’s office, and for a federal judge; as a victim of sexual assault (and testifying at trial against her attacker); of having once been nearly charged with a felony herself; and years later, seemingly paradoxically, becoming a criminal defense attorney.

In her groundbreaking book, Soul Whisperer: Releasing Lost Souls, today's special guest, author Annette Rugolo presents a new perspective into the world of spirits, past lives, and soul retrieval. Through the sharing of her real-life experiences, she offers a glimpse into a world that exists around us, which few are open and willing to see.

Annette presents an introduction to spirits of the deceased that remain in this world, how we encounter them, and how to help free them from being stuck here. Through her stories, she gives a clear sense of what these encounters are like, what we can learn from them, and how to recognize and deal with them if they happen. She also demonstrates the value of soul retrievals, freeing spirits, understanding karmic history, and other related subjects.

Annette Rugolo’s purpose and passion in life has been to take others from a place of fear to one of understanding and compassion for the souls trapped among us. In Soul Whisperer, she guides you to embrace both yourself and others as a soul who exists beyond the physical construct of our reality.

Annette Rugolo is respected worldwide as a transformation teacher, speaker, master dowser, and environmental healer. As a mentor and guide, Rugolo has been instrumental in helping people connect with other dimensions from a place of love, without fear or judgment. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Hoarding is a distinct disorder with its own diagnostic criteria and treatment requirements.Many hoarders hide their compulsive behavior from family, landlords, neighbors, insurers, and more. Once discovered, they may face scrutiny from animal and child protection officers and code enforcement officials.

Overcoming the mental disorder recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, requires more than pop psychology and a 30-gallon garbage bag. In the new book Conquer the Clutter , social worker Elaine Birchall, founder of the Canadian National Hoarding Coalition, and co-author Suzanne Cronkwright, give potential and practicing hoarders -- as well as family, friends, and helping professionals -- practical strategies for getting out from under the overwhelming piles and regaining control.

In her 17 years as a leading hoarding disorder specialist and clutter coach, Birchall has seen that enduring success results from a combined approach of individualized therapy and hands-on cleanup. Unlike the more common academic treatises on hoarding, this book offers straight talk -- as well as checklists, worksheets, risk assessment tools, and links to resources. Actual case studies -- of parents at risk of losing custody of their children, for instance, or a retired lawyer reckoning with disability and a move into assisted living -- destigmatize the face of hoarding and illuminate how others resist triggers and overcome barriers to make peace with their compulsion to possess.

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-2019) has led to a serious outbreak of often severe respiratory disease, which originated in China and has quickly spread around the world. As public health officials seek to contain the virus and mitigate the deleterious effects on worldwide population health, a related threat has emerged: global media exposure to the crisis.

Media-based stories of traumatic events expand the events’ boundaries from geographically constrained to virtually boundless experiences, transforming local events into widespread collective traumas. Although access to media stories about these events may appropriately inform us about events in our world, prolonged expo-sure to media coverage also may serve to amplify and heighten public anxiety and fear.

While journalists and public health officials worked to communicate critical information globally regarding risk assessments and recommendations, a related threat emerged: psychological distress resulting from repeated media exposure to the outbreak. This has implications not only for immediate suffering in the population, but for downstream effects on physical and mental health over time. These heightened distress responses to media exposure to collective crises may have long-term repercussions for physical health.

Today's special guest Dr. Alison Holman’s work is focused on understanding the ties between mental and physical health consequences of traumatic life events, with a specific focus on preventing trauma-related mental and physical. Dr. Holman has been Principal Investigator on several community-based studies of coping with trauma funded by the National Science Foundation, Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She and her collaborators are currently working on a large national study of coping with the Coronavirus outbreak.
