Alex the host of the DMT World Podcast joins me on the show this week.

Alex is a team member at DMT World, a father, and has many projects on the go. This episode does get heavy at some points.

Alex is a war veteran and we talk a lot around that, what brought him there, his own healing journey through psychedelics, and his letting go of previous mental states that held him in negative patterns.

This is a really inspiring conversation so it was great being able to speak with Alex and have him be so open about his journey of what he's had to go through to arrive at the healing he's at, and his commitment to helping more people heal and come through their own challenges.

Zoe Helene joins me on the show this week.

Zoe is an artist and cultural activist who founded the environmental feminism collective, Cosmic Sister (@CosmicSister), in 2007, to advocate for women, wildlife, wilderness and wildlife, and for our natural right to work with nature's psychedelic medicines—our "co-evolutionary allies." She coined the term "Psychedelic Feminism" to describe a sub-genre of feminism, and believes that a true balance of power across the gender spectrum—globally—is the only way humans (and non-humans) will survive.

In this episode we talk much around archetypal psychology looking at ancient Greek myths and understandings, and the importance of language and culture.

Zoe recommends Christine Downing for a powerful feminist view of Greek Mythology and more.

Catch her talk at MAPS Canada Lecture Series 'Examining the Psychedelic Renaissance' on Tues Nov. 24.

My first repeat guest!

Back from the first episode, Caleb Tipple joins me this week.

Caleb is a good friend of mine I've known for a few years through the wonder of the internet (I said 7 years in the intro it's probably only been 5). He's a therapist who's been really engaged in Somatic Experiencing modalities the last few years. He's really given me a lot of information around somatic modalities and the nature of this kind of work and I find it unbelievably fascinating.

We talk a bit about Caleb's experience using Somatic modalities for himself and in his work. Much of the rest of the episode is around re-engaging with beliefs that we were brought up with, and using psychedelics as a tool to look at these ideas. We were both raised Christian and wanted to talk a bit about our experiences of letting go of previous prescribed beliefs, and re-engaging with these aspects of our life as we've matured.

Caleb is able to do some work online with people, so if you're at all interested in any of this, please reach out to him at [email protected]

This weeks conversation is with the wonderful Leah Day.

Leah is a fantastic Yukon-raised artist and musician (her family resides there) and has lived in Vancouver for over 18 years. I've known her since when I worked at Village Bloomery, a cannabis dispensary I worked at for a few years. I sat in her garden with her chickens for a conversation and we were taken into some interesting directions. We talk about art, death and grief, nature, and finding meaning within the circumstances of our lives. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram @leahdayarts The cover photo is one of her pieces I got a print of! And she is The Dawning on Soundcloud Help me out by giving me a review on Stitcher or iTunes or just sharing with your friends.

Kyle is a certified SOMA Breath Instructor, helping others access their full potential and access their inner 'Soma' using the power of the breath.

He studied breathwork with Wim Hof and later Anthony Abbagnano, founder of Alchemy of Breath, where he was able to dive deeper into the process of healing with a six week Hero's Journey, following Joseph Campbell's outline for psychological development and personal transformation. He eventually came upon SOMA Breath, where he seemingly found the holistic system he had been dreaming about putting together himself, and became one of the first SOMA instructors

Kyle has developed Soma Alchemy, combining everything he has learned over the years into a holistic health and wellness practice for the modern day spiritual seeker. Soma Alchemy gives you the tools to overcome challenges and blockages such as stress, anxiety, trauma, fatigue, and dis-ease by showing you how to balance various aspects of the Body, Mind, and Soul through ancient practices of Meditation, Dreamwork, Breathwork, Yogic Bodywork, and Shamanic Diet. He is also the manager of the SOMA music label, Breathe In Beats. His song Nature's Spirit is at the end of the episode

He does online 'initiations' every Monday, or group meet ups every Sunday.

Michael Stuart Ani joins me for the 10th episode!

He is the author of the incredible book we talk much around called The Ghost Dance: An Untold History of the America's. He's also co-founder of the Amazonia Foundation in 1991, and has recently started the non-profit the Talking Plants Foundation, as well as another project called The Healing Garden we talk about in this episode. He's helped fight epidemics in South America, especially with the Yanomami, and is engaged in work in a similar vein with Covid 19.

This conversation to me really strikes deep into the heart of what this podcast is about in a big way. Michael's story is almost like the alchemical transformation of the individual in order for the collective to go through the needed changes for life to continue.

This episode is about some of the mythic history of the America's, The Ghost Dance, prophecy, and what it means for the times we're going through right now. He also dispels many myths around indigenous plant medicine use, like Maria Sabina and what she said around synthetic psilocybin.

Follow him on Facebook or Instagram for great videos about what's going on in the jungle and elsewhere

Instagram: @theghostdance The Talking Plant Foundation is his non-profit The Healing Garden is his work he's doing with medicinal plants during epidemics.
