June 09, 2023 Primitive Envy and Entitlement Ideologies, with Jaco Van Zyl
Note: we had some connection issues and there are some glitches in the
audio and video. Nevertheless, this was a fantastic and informative
conversation, and despite a few little hiccups, it is easy to follow.
Thank you for your patience with the tech!

body-focused therapies. Jaco provides therapy to adolescents, adults and
families. He has a special interest in personality pathology and its

eating disorders, addiction and sexuality.

June 04, 2023 Psychedelic Counseling in the "Social Justice" era, with Karen King
Karen joined me for a follow up conversation to our "Queering
Psychedelics" Solid Ground Live Stream. Karen King, LMHC has been a
psychotherapist for almost two decades, and has loved every minute of
it. Her background in dance and meditation informs all that she does in
work with clients and clinicians every day. Karen started a Counseling
and Psychiatry group practice in 2015 and it has evolved into a Ketamine
Assisted Therapy clinic. Karen completed the MAPS MDMA Assisted Therapy
training as well as the MAPS Naropa Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
training and has worked as a Ketamine Assisted Therapist for over two
years. She regularly Supervises in WA state, and is beginning to present
and offer trainings for clinicians interested in adding Ketamine
Assisted Therapy to their practices. She also offers individual and
group Ketamine Assisted retreats and offers consultation to therapists
and also trip sitters. Her website is karencking.com and her Instagram
account is @thepsychedeliccounselor.
About Karen's clinical work : "The most potent skill I want to offer
clients is the ability to both witness and experience fully whatever is
arising within them with kindness and curiosity. Holding this paradox
gently appears to be the way to move through difficulty with softness
and be open to the wisdom of the challenge. We can allow ourselves be
transformed by looking into these difficult places directly, and yet our
world conspires to keep our eyes averted. It takes a brave spirit to
look inward, and through therapeutic preparation you will begin to feel
confident in this way of looking at the world and yourself. Then before
you know it, it becomes your wild talent, reclaimed as a new way of
being."
Here are the readings Karen mentioned:

Of Water and the Spirit by Malidoma Some

Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna

The Diamonds Within Us: Uncovering Brilliant Sanity through
Contemplative Psychotherapy by Melissa Moore

How to Change your Mind by Micheal Pollan

Trial of Psilocybin vs Escitalopram for Depression- paper by Robin

May 25, 2023 This is being taught in elementary schools! From an anonymous concerned parent
"Pen" is a parent of elementary school-aged children who attend a
private (secular) school that has adopted a sexuality-education
curriculum based on activism and queer theory. Pen sent me some of the
materials (which are being taught to children aged 5-12) and took some
time today to go over some points of particular concern. Take a look/listen
with us and tell me what you think.
Here is a link to the curriculum: https://www.uua.org/re/owl

May 23, 2023 Coach Christine! with Christine Sefein
Christine on her practice: "I have been trained and worked as a clinical
psychotherapist for nearly 18 years and was a professor of clinical
psychology in a master’s degree program for 5 years. Due to requirements
that the state of California has imposed on mental health professionals
to engage in social justice activist therapy, I have chosen to offer
coaching services instead at this time. While I am a California licensed
psychotherapist, my coaching and wellness services are not under the
umbrella of “psychotherapy” and therefore, my practice in a coaching
capacity will be therapeutic, but NOT psychotherapy."
To contact Christine, email: [email protected]

May 23, 2023 Taxonomy of a cultural revolution: Solid Ground Live Stream 21
This week we were inspired by James Lindsay's recent podcast entitled
"How to Fight a Tyrannical Movement" and his delineation of the
archetypes at play within that dynamic. We had a good discussion about
motivation and roles, and we all agreed that it's time to rewatch Monty
Python's "Life of Brian."
