In this episode of Table Talks, we welcome educator, author, and mindfulness practitioner Lauren Aldifer, who shares her inspiring journey of integrating mindfulness and psychedelics. With decades of experience in contemplative education, Lauren’s path took a profound turn when her husband was diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's. This personal challenge led her to explore the intersection of mindfulness, aging, and microdosing.

Lauren’s story dives deep into how psychedelics can offer new avenues for resilience and inner well-being, especially as we age. She also discusses how she trained as a Microdosing Coach and the powerful insights she gained from James Fadiman's work.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mindfulness, psychedelics, and how they can support personal growth and well-being at any stage of life.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Table Talks! In this special conversation, Hein Peinnaken, founder of Microdosing Institute and Microdose.nl, sits down with two pioneering figures in the psychedelic space: James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber. Together, they discuss their groundbreaking new book, "Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance," which explores how low-dose psychedelics can transform consciousness, boost self-improvement, and support mental health.

In this episode, discover how microdosing - often compared to a mental vitamin - has evolved from a niche practice to a powerful tool for personal growth. Learn about James' influential work that first introduced many of us to microdosing and Jordan’s insights on how this practice can amplify our ability to overcome challenges and reach our highest potential. Their discussion covers everything from ancient wisdom and modern science to the practical applications of microdosing in enhancing creativity, focus, and overall well-being.

If you're passionate about psychedelics, consciousness, and the pursuit of self-improvement, this episode is a must-watch. Join us on this journey as we dive deep into the evolution of microdosing and its impact on health and performance - an exploration that could change the way you live your life.

What our body communicates to us, through our nervous system, matters.

Our body is our biggest teacher.

It can help us understand and heal from different kinds of trauma. And guide us through everyday life, finding more relaxation and resilience. Moment by moment, day by day.

In this episode we explore how we can refind balance and resilience and the role of psychedelics in this process—both in high doses, and microdoses.

About Marijn Schrieken

Marijn Schrieken is a body oriented trauma therapist. She's trained in several modalities that have revolutionized trauma therapy, such as Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine, NARM by Laurie Heller and the Polyvagal Theory by Stephan Porch and Deb Dana, as well as other supporting techniques. The essence of these modalities are about releasing trauma through the body and her nervous system, which brings back natural flow in connection with ourselves and others. Marijn works in this field for nearly eight years professionally, but the curiosity about how our brain functions and how we relate to stress has been there for much longer. About 20 years ago, Marijn experienced her first psychedelics assisted therapy session, and she was so amazed by the possibilities that she continued doing this many times with different doses and substances.

In this episode we speak about death. Not the first topic you'd expect on our channel, you say? Correct, but we've learned along the way that we can be looking at death and grief as an integral part of life. And there is SO MUCH value in looking at it from all perspectives with someone who knows a great deal about grief and dying - not just in the literal sense, also conceptually, where 'parts' of us die, creating space for growth. And right there is where sacred psychedelic medicines enter the stage.

In this episode we speak with Jonathan Lu and Shauheen Etminan, the co-founders of Vcenna, as they take us on a journey through the historical context and societal stigma surrounding religion. We discuss their personal experiments with psychoactive substances and the advantages they might offer, including heightened consciousness and even telepathic experiences. We also spotlight the practice of microdosing and its potential to amplify emotional awareness, all without the vivid hallucinations often associated with psychedelics.

The duo emphasizes the significance of intentionality in this pursuit. Furthermore, Jonathan and Shauheen generously share their personal revelations from the world of lucid dreaming and express their genuine excitement for the uncharted territories these compounds might unlock in the exploration of diverse states of consciousness.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS

Jonathan Lu and Shauheen Etminan are the co-founders of VCENNA, a drug discovery company that creates mental wellness solutions from psychoactive plants used ceremonially in Ancestral Eastern traditions. We will be speaking about their MAGI ANCESTRAL supplements, based on a legal ingredient called Syrian Rue. They developed different formulas: one is for microdosing, and others to enhance sleep, lucid dreaming, and meditation.

Jonathan is an engineer that has been studying 2000 year old Chinese texts in search of compounds, formulations, and rituals that have been lost to history. His team applies modern neurophysiological and computational tools to understand scientifically what our ancestors discovered millennia ago, and from which they developed the nootropic formulations for Magi Ancestral Supplements.

Shauheen Etminan is an intuitive activator, inventor, and passionate founder dedicated to creating impactful products and platforms embodying wellness, abundance, authenticity, and reciprocity. With a track record spanning multiple industries, his focus on psychedelics for mental health and cognitive growth aligns with his personal journey and mission as an autotelic entrepreneur.  

IN THIS CONVERSATION:

💫 Jonathan explains what he does for work to a 9-year old 

💫 Beta Carbolines and Syrian Rue

💫 What should every microdoser know about these compounds?

💫 Who is Avicenna?

💫 Making the vast amount of documented ancient wisdom accessible and applicable in modern life

💫 Haoma or Soma, what is it?

💫 The earliest account of psychoactives use in the Zoroastrian religion (the Book of Arda Viraf)

💫 How can we learn about and embrace ancestral practices?

💫 Jon and Shauheen share their personal experiences with microdosing, meditation and dream states 

💫 The difference between dreaming, lucid dreaming and meditative dream states

💫 A call to all microdosers to document experiences and share them with the community

In this soulful episode with Anna Heil we delve into the importance of personal choice and support during childbirth, emphasizing emotional well-being for mothers and their partners during pregnancy and parenthood. Anna discusses how some mothers have reported the positive results of using psilocybin microdoses for mood swings and anxiety during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We also talk about how microdosing can increase awareness, and plant medicines can help embrace our divinity and humanness as parents. 

As Anna underlines, we should see becoming a mother as the ultimate rite of passage; it’s mega transformational, it’s ceremonial, it’s meaningful, and it’s a path of learning and becoming.

In this Microdosing Table Talk episode with Alexander Beiner we dive into the role that psychedelics can play in our lives, and their potential in helping us navigate modern-day crises such as wars, pandemics, ecological crises and the emergence of AI. Psychedelics always emphasize the need to address the root of problems if we want to truly start addressing them, and if we want to make real headway. 

Alexander emphasizes quality over quantity when it comes to psychedelic experiences. He underscores the value of profound and meaningful journeys over simply having experiences. Moreover, we delve into the realm of microdosing, sharing thoughts on how it’s a low access barrier tool that can play a role in collective healing, solving problems, and aiding creativity.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Alexander Beiner is an author and journalist. His book 'The Bigger Picture: How psychedelics can help us make sense of the world' has been hailed as 'the most important book on psychedelics to come about in a long while' (David Jay Brown) and 'a convincingly argued, deeply thought-provoking and beautifully written book.' (Graham Hancock). He's an executive director of Breaking Convention, a UK charity which hosts one of the world's largest conferences on psychedelic science. He runs a popular Substack, The Bigger Picture, where he writes about popular culture, AI, psychedelics and systems change. You can read more about his work on alexanderbeiner.com.
