PT545 – Breathwork, Holding Space, and the Healing Power of Connection: Documenting the Dreamshadow Community, with Mustapha Khan


Listen Later

In this episode, Kyle interviews Mustapha Khan: Emmy Award-winning director with over 100 film and television credits, who has worked with clients such as Coca-Cola and Honda, and celebrities ranging from Maya Angelou to Snoop Dogg.

Khan is finalizing a film about Lenny and Elizabeth Gibson and their ongoing work at Dreamshadow – the people and community responsible for Joe and Kyle meeting and the creation of Psychedelics Today. He talks about meeting the Gibsons, being welcomed into their community (instead of his proposed "fly on the wall" role), how centered and happy he felt after his first breathwork session, and what he has learned through the process: that breathwork can be an incredibly healing modality, but the magic he has found has been more in the community surrounding it, and the responsibility (and honor) of being a sitter for someone else.

He discusses:

  • The first time his breathwork went psychedelic, and speaking with his recently deceased Mothe
  • How he got into filmmaking and why he wants to tell stories about people like the Gibson
  • The beauty of breathwork not having a dogma or doctrine attached to it
  • The power in holding space for someone else, even if it's just being presen
  • The importance of taking action that aligns with psychedelic ethos: What can you do to contribute to your community?

and more!

Khan is hoping to release the documentary, "Life and Breath," in October. In addition to a screening at Dreamshadow, PT will likely do a virtual one as well, so stay tuned for updates!
