Have you ever wondered what happens at an ayahuasca retreat? How do you know if out-of-country retreat centers are safe? Why would anyone voluntarily drink a tea that makes them vomit? What benefits do people report experiencing after participating in an ayahuasca ceremony? What are the dangers of ayahuasca? 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we explore these questions and more with founder and CEO of the LaWayra Ayahuasca retreat center in Colombia, Sam Believ. Sam is also the host of the Ayahuasca Podcast where he interviews experts in the psychedelic field about the healing power of ayahuasca.

In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Steve Thayer and Dr. Reid Robison are joined by Dr. Christopher Bache, PhD. Chris is professor emeritus in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University, adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Emeritus Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and on the Advisory Council of Grof Legacy Training. He’s the author of several books, but the one that prompted this interview is LSD and the Mind of the Universe—an account of what Chris experienced and learned from 73 high-dose LSD journeys that he embarked on over the course of 20 years. In today’s conversation they explore Chris’s LSD session protocol, the difference between using psychedelics for cosmological exploration vs spiritual enlightenment or psychiatric healing, how Chris processed and integrated his very intense experiences, what he learned about reincarnation, evolution at the collective and individual levels, what humans need to do to survive mounting existential threats, what he means by “diamond luminosity” and “diamond soul”, and much more.

Is meditation dangerous? It might seem like a silly question. Many people would put meditation on the short list of practices that are essential for good mental and spiritual health. Indeed, we’ve recommended meditation many times on this show as a powerful tool to use in psychedelic-assisted therapy.
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast we’re exploring the situations in which meditation could do more harm than good. We discuss different kinds of meditation, personal and contextual risk factors that could put the meditation practitioner in harm’s way, ways to mitigate these risks, research on the potential harms of meditation, and much more.

Have you ever felt conflicted about something–like there was a war going on in your head between parts of you with different agendas? Do you ever get frustrated with yourself for behaving in self-defeating ways only to find yourself repeating that same behavior over and over again? Well you, my friend, might have a mind comprised of many different parts, each with their own origin story, attachments, aversions, duties, and burdens. 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast we’re revisiting the concept of intrapsychic multiplicity or “parts” through the lens of Internal Family Systems therapy or IFS. We discuss the idea of internal parts found in other personality theories and psychotherapy modalities, flesh out the basics of IFS, explore how IFS can be used in psychedelic-assisted therapy, discuss what it’s like to go through formal Level 1 IFS training, and much more.

On Aug 9th the FDA rejected the new drug application by Lykos (formerly MAPS PBC) for MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. This is disappointing news for those of us who were excited about the promising study results and eager to add MDMA-assisted therapy to the menu of treatment options for those suffering with PTSD. We discuss what appears to have influenced the FDA’s decision, the possible path forward for Lykos, how this ruling affects other companies trying to bring different psychedelic medicines to market, and much more.
