In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Theo Fotopoulos — psychosomatic coach, plant medicine facilitator, and men’s work leader — to explore the depths of shadow work, initiation, and the mysteries of consciousness.

Theo has lived a life on the edge: near-death experiences, years of men’s coaching, dozens of plant medicine ceremonies, and relentless initiations into both shadow and light. What he’s discovered along the way is a path of radical honesty, embodiment, and service.

Together, we dive into:

• Theo’s near-death experiences and how they shattered his identity.
• The turning point that led him from PTSD into plant medicine.
• Why integration is the work — and why chasing ceremonies misses the point.
• How the body’s nervous system is the true gatekeeper for psychedelic depth.
• The vital importance of rites of passage and initiation for modern men.
• Cannabis as the “dark feminine” and how to work with her consciously.
• Bufo, Ayahuasca, Kambo, and the initiations that broke Theo open.
• The danger of spiritual bypassing and the shadow of “love and light.”
• The future of humanity: collective shadow work, split realities, and the return to wholeness.
• Why you will find your light by going into your darkness
• The lesson Theo would leave to the next generation

This episode is for anyone walking the path of initiation — seekers, leaders, facilitators, and those who know there is more to life than meets the eye.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Dedy’s upbringing in Bali
• The life-changing influence of mentors
• How cosmic seeds shape the course of our lives
• Shifting from scarcity to abundance
• Leadership lessons
• The call of the plant medicine
• The purge, the shadows, and “clean frequency” of an Ayahuasca ceremony

Astrologer. Psychotherapist. Truth-teller.

In this soul-stirring episode, I sit down with the legendary Debra Silverman to explore the intersection of astrology, psychology, soul contracts, and shadow work — and what it really means to fall in love with your fate.

For nearly five decades, Debra has guided thousands of people through the map of their psyche using astrology as a healing tool. In this conversation, she opens up about her personal story, the karma she's had to face, and what our charts really reveal about our soul’s mission on Earth.

We dive deep into:

• Why you chose this life (yes, even the hard parts)
• How to navigate the Saturn Return and soul-level initiations
• The truth about shadow work
• What’s coming in 2025–2026 astrologically (and why it matters)
• The story behind her new book I Don’t Believe in Astrology
• Her unexpected path of karmic love, grief, and surrender
• How astrology can be the most profound tool for healing and purpose

This episode is funny, wise, irreverent, emotional, and unforgettable.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t choose to be here — or you’ve questioned your path, purpose, or pain — this conversation will shift you.

In this episode, I open up about the real reason behind creating The God Mode Retreat in Bali.

Yes — there’s the obvious: five days of transformation, powerful workshops, and a sacred mushroom ceremony held in a safe, intentional container. Yes — it’s a continuation of the journey many have begun inside Unlock God Mode.

But underneath all of that… is something deeper.

I share the pivotal moment that inspired the retreat — an experience I had at Danny Miranda’s “Be Light” retreat in Austin. No psychedelics, no agenda, no distractions — just presence, truth, and raw connection. That weekend changed me and set the gold standard for what I wanted to create.

This episode is about honoring what really moves us… the unseen threads that call us to create. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward your next evolution — this story might unlock something for you.

This episode is different — because something big is opening.

After months of preparation, I’m finally announcing two powerful portals for those of you ready to go deeper into your evolution.

The first is my God Mode Retreat — a 5-day transformational immersion in Bali for soul-led humans ready to sit in sacred ceremony, reconnect with their truth, and rise into their next level. This is the first time I’ve ever done something like this, and it’s going to be intimate, potent, and unforgettable.

The second is the God Mode Protocol — a brand-new 30-day spiritual operating system you can start right now from anywhere in the world. This is for those who want momentum, structure, and daily alignment with God, purpose, and power.

In this episode, I walk you through both offerings, why I created them, and how to know which one is calling you.

I’m thrilled to share something I’ve been quietly preparing for a while now…

✨ The first-ever God Mode Retreat is officially in the works.

This is not just a retreat—it’s an intimate, high-impact immersion bringing together everything we’ve explored: God Mode, manifestation, spiritual mastery, mushrooms, deep embodiment, and next-level breakthroughs.

Expect deep inner work, powerful connection with aligned souls, sacred space for integration and activation, and a full immersion into your next-level self.

The retreat will be held in Bali, with luxury accommodation, a private chef, and transformational experiences curated with deep care.

It’s designed for a small, exclusive circle of serious seekers—those ready for profound shifts, real expansion, and maybe even a taste of the ineffable. ✨

This might be the only time I offer a retreat of this caliber. If your heart feels the nudge… trust it.

Big love,
