Aubrey and Emily explore the rituals of initiation practiced by cultures all over the world and then shine a light on how it's an art form that seems to be missing from our Western society at large today. Asking themselves the question: Why isn't everyone exploring within?

Aubrey invites the audience into the experience of what it means to be a psychonaut – an explorer of the inner realms. He takes us into the philosophies that have become the pillars of his unique perspective on life over the past few decades of sitting with different plant medicines and teachers all over the world. 

Emily asks Aubrey about where he believes the fear of power comes from and Aubrey gets a chance to explore his perspective on good and evil, and why he believes good always wins in the end.

They also spend time exploring the necessity of meditation, sacred sexuality, and where we might be headed as a human species.
