Heute sprechen Andreas Lackmann (bekannt aus Folge 08) und ich über die Definition von Reichtum und Glück im eigenen Leben und was für einen Einfluss die aktuelle Pandemie auf das Wohlempfinden der Menschen hat.

Wir diskutieren wie Microdosing - also der Konsum von kaum wahrnehmbaren Dosen von Psychedelika - als Werkzeug eingesetzt dabei helfen kann, uns Selbst besser kennenzulernen und bisherige Denk- und Verhaltensweisen zu durchbrechen, sodass wir generell offener werden für Veränderungen im Leben.

Ein Skillset, dass wir bei dem immer schneller werdenden technologischen Fortschritt in der Zukunft benötigen werden um, für diese Herausforderungen gewappnet zu sein.

Ihr bekommt einen Überblick über die bekanntesten Microdosing Protokolle und welche persönlichen Erfahrungen er selbst damit sammeln konnte. Ein guter Einstieg in die Thematik für alle die generell Interesse haben, sich aber noch nicht bereit fühlen für eine Reise mit einer höheren Dosis.

Andy hat über die letzten Monate ein Microdosing e-Book geschrieben und bietet Aufklärung und Coaching hierzu an. Meldet euch gerne bei ihm bei Interesse

Viel Spaß bei dieser Folge.

My guest today is Jen Olson and what you'll hear is another story of another brave person whose personal struggle led to a first psychedelic experience, in her case with 5 MeO DMT. It ultimately changed the way she looked at herself in relation to the world and the work with these substances afterwards.

As always you’ll get a brief introduction into Jen’s upbringing and what led to her becoming the 7th Canadian female mountain guide, living a life filled with adventures and traveling to places like Alaska, Pakistan and Nepal. Because of her work she was no stranger to dealing with the loss of loved ones, however, the sudden accidental death of her father in 2006 plunged her into a hole of previously unknown depths.

You’ll hear her explain how this led her to find Somatic Experiencing (SE) as the most powerful way to work with her past and change her current state. Since SE offers both a top-down (cognitive) as well as bottom up (nervous system) approach to resolving traumas she was really interested when she heard that psychedelics are currently also used in treating and transforming mental health.

In 2020 she had her first 5-MeO-DMT experience and you’ll hear how she experienced a complete dissolution of her own Self and how this helped her to process her grief.

When Jen is looking into her own future she sees her dream become a reality to bring both somatic and psychedelic-assisted therapy into one system.

So this is yet another Journey that tells the story of a person who was able to use her own pain to transform it into something to be of service to others.

Heute gibt es einen weiteren Erfahrungsbericht zu einer geführten Reise von Gregor S. zu hören.

Wir sprechen zunächst über Gregor’s Kindheit, in der er als Teil einer Migrantenfamilie in recht prekären Verhältnissen aufgewachsen war. Er beschreibt dabei die Beziehung zu seinem Vater, die er als sehr stark autoritär und unterdrückend empfand und warum sie der Grund war, weshalb er sich ihm gegenüber stets als große Zumutung vorkam und das letztendlich dazu geführt hat, dass er sich sein Leben lang als defizitär vorkam und jeden Tag gefühlt zu kämpfen hatte mit dem Gefühl es nicht wert zu sein. 

D.h. auch bereits vor unserer Reise war Gregor bewusst, dass er damit den denkbar schlechtesten Nährboden hatte, um so Dinge wie Selbstakzeptanz, Selbstliebe und Selbstbewusstsein zu entwickeln, was wir dann auch gemeinsam als den Kernaspekt seiner Intention für die Session herausgearbeitet hatten.

Seine Erfahrungen im Umgang mit Meditation und Microdosing von LSD waren letztendlich die Brücke, um sich dann auch für so eine psychedelische Erfahrung mit einer höheren Dosierung zu öffnen.

Das Gespräch wird euch aufzeigen, was es heisst, eine saubere, ausgiebige Vorbereitung vor so einer Reise zu treffen und wie extrem wichtig der Aspekt der Integration danach ist. Gregor ist dabei das perfekte Beispiel, dass eine Reise komplett anders verlaufen kann wie man sie sich vorab vllt. vorstellt und dass mitunter ebenso starke Erfahrungen und Durchbrüche auch nach der Session in der Integrationsarbeit passieren können.

Viel Spaß bei dieser Folge.

As a plant medicine veteran, Jonathan Gold left an unfulfilling 10 year IT career to escape the matrix of corporate enslavement to pursue a higher path of healing, self discovery & enlightenment uniting him serendipitously with the transformational healing power of Kambo frog medicine.

“Kambo” is an ancient indigenous medicine taken from the venomous secretion of the Amazonian Sapo Tree Frog. When applied topically on the skin Kambo activates a radical physical, emotional and mental cleansing process.

His first encounter with Kambo on one of his ayahuasca retreats led him to co-found Planet Kambo in 2017. As a UK based holistic detox service, running weekly group cleansing ceremonies, using a balance of alternative healing exercises & indigenous tribal medicines, his vision to bring this medicine to the West is now a reality.

In our conversation Jon and I dig into the details of how Kambo actually works and all its phenomenal healing properties for our physical as well as our mental system. You’ll have a vivid understanding of what to expect and what to consider before heading into your own first Kambo experience that Jon compares to a very short but intense flu.

Jon’s unique path is a brilliant example of what happens if you align yourself with your own truth to pursue a passion that is serving the greater good. The universe will take care of your success. We all got our own little niche to help the greater good and make a living. The most important thing is to enjoy what you do.

As Scientist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Vittorio Erspamer once wrote, Kambo secretion contains a “fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequaled by any other amphibian” so it might be another tool in the toolbox to unleash your own healing potential and to uncover more of what’s stored inside of you, so you can start living a life on your own terms

As a follow up to last week's episode on the work of Noah as an underground psychedelic therapist you will hear the continuation of my recording with him, where we go over the details of the process of one of his retreats.

Some of the questions that were interesting to me were:

Noah shares with me how he distinguishes between two major parts of the process of the medicinal experience. The first part which is all about storytelling and awareness -  mainly just feeling, being in the somatic empathogenic experience and then the second part of the process, where they shift into more of a psilocybin medicinal use, which oftentimes tends to be more introspective and quiet as the evening comes to an end.

The difference between this and traditional therapy models is that here the safe space of the community itself, is the primary healing modality. The comfort and exploration of relationships in a group setting and the reciprocal cycle of giving and receiving healing is the main part of the relational therapy process, so to speak. So unlike traditional therapy work in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting, there are other dynamic factors that have a significant impact on how his group sessions unfold. According to Noah, there is an intelligence of the relational field of the community that decides what happens and how the evening unfolds. The overall process is strongly characterized by collaboration and mutual co-creation of the experience which I found really interesting.

There are so many lessons we can take from this kind of work and apply it to our daily lives but understanding what kind of impact this work can have in a cross generational context just blew my mind.

The demand for guided psychedelic journeys has continued to grow in the U.S. in recent years, and "underground" work has become increasingly mainstream. In today’s episode I had the chance to interview my first guest on his work as an underground psychedelic therapist - his name is Noah. 

Like most people I know, he felt some kind of lack of meaning and purpose in his own life which led him to his first ceremonial psychedelic experience. It revealed the lack of his father’s presence in his life, and their lack of connection. Over the years he was eventually able to explore plant medicine healing in a group ceremonial setting with most of his family members.

Through this he realised the benefits and the potential of a more slowly opening arc in this kind of work vs. the current therapeutical model that fosters mystical experiences in one or two sessions to heal a specific psychiatric disorder or trauma.

This has informed the way he now facilitates his own ceremonies for groups - largely with families - which focus on shared multi-generational plant medicine work that is supported and held by the safe container of a community on an ongoing basis.

We talk about his PHD thesis on the topic and dig into his experiences and knowledge around the facilitation of these underground ceremonies and how he tries to create spaces for connection and what he calls “role dissolution”, where the structures of social reality are softened and where it becomes possible to re-articulate these structures so people can relate to each other and self in new ways.

When I asked him about WHY he does that and why he takes so much risk in doing so his answer was quite simple. He said the results just speak for themselves and that it is the right thing to do.

For me, our talk shed some new light on the phenomenon of people coming together as groups to do psychedelic work, acting as catalysts for each other’s development over a longer period of time vs. one time use to treat a specific symptom or issue.

I learned a lot in this talk and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

Today you will meet Zara and her Journey, which last year brought her to one of the most moving and educational experiences of her life. Zara is a 43 year old freelance artist and single mother living in South East London with her son.

Besides her first bad trip experience on LSD, during the Burning Man Festival, she first shares with us further insights into her travels with San Pedro and also DMT.

The real reason for our interview, however, is the relationship Zara has had with the father of her child since her unwanted pregnancy, characterised by anger, accusations and a lot of unkindness that has had a lasting negative impact on her state of mind. She ardently desired a change in this relationship and became aware of the therapeutic potential of psychedelics through various synchronicities and decided to consume a high dose of psilocybin after a long period of self-research.

According to ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, the notion of a "hero dose", is often equated with five or more grams of mushrooms, which he says "is enough to tame even the most unruly ego."

Why her relationship with her ex-partner has been completely different since trip and what happened to her cannabis addiction, which she had developed since the death of her father when she was 23, you'll hear in the interview.

Enjoy this episode.
