  • Deepening Your Relationship with Psychedelics and with Life
    Interested in deepening your relationship with psychedelics and with life? This podcast with a renowned speaker in the psychedelic space, Julian Vayne. We explore creative ways to engage with psychedelics and psychedelic ceremony, the ceremonial psychedelic setting and how both the containers of experience prepared and the insights derived from such psychedelic journeys are deeply intertwined with life.
    We not only discuss ceremonial psychedelic use with plant medicines or "psychoactive drugs" but we also dive into the psychedelic culture, magic rituals, set and setting, psychedelic preparation and the importance of play in all of this. If you're interested in LSD, psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, MDMA, mescaline or sacred cacti, 5-MEO DMT, DMT, Salvia Divinorum or any other psychedelic drug for spiritual exploration, healing or transformation this is the episode for you. This is not encouraging you to go out and take drugs but rather to exercise safety and caution if it's what you are planning or considering doing anyway.
    Check out the YouTube channel for videos that'll help you solidify your intention to cultivate conscious growth and you'll be notified when new content is out to help you reflect and take meaningful action in life: https://www.youtube.com/todaydreamer?sub_confirmation=1 Julian wrote the book "Getting Higher - The Manual of Psychedelic Ceremony" and gives some great insight into the importance and useful techniques when it comes to mindful preparation and conscious action when it comes to both psychedelics and life. He has worked at a Museum of one kind or another for many years and his historical references are truly mind-bending. He has been an occultist for decades and shares an interesting perspective on "magick" and the imagination.

  • Contributing to Life and Beauty on Earth
    Join me as I engage in conversation with Charles Eisenstein about contributing to life and beauty on earth by participating in the process of healing.
    Charles Eisenstein is one of the most renown writers and speakers about the intersection of systems change and personal growth. His books include The Ascent of Humanity, Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible. Charles and I touch on topics such as interbeing, interconnectedness, healing, trust, trauma, oneness, climate change, philosophy and community. Ultimately though this conversation is intended to inspire your own process of healing and in turn the participation in the healing of all. Charles Eisenstein has kindly shared this space and brought his meaningful inquiries to the fore. The facilitation and acceleration of a new story that will move us into a more beautiful world is waiting to take place.
