Dive into the world of psychedelic medicine with Jonathan de Potter as he discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of plant-based substances. He emphasizes the importance of tools for managing the mind and emotions during transformative experiences such as psychedelic therapy. The episode explores various tools like meditation and visioning, as well as the need for deep intentionality and emotional processing. It also delves into the risks and requirements of participating in a psychedelic retreat, highlighting the importance of screening for physical health, mental conditions, addiction history, and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, the episode examines the transformative effects of community in psychedelic therapy, emphasizing the role of small and focused groups and expert plant medicine guides. It touches upon the healing power of love and the need to move away from Western culture's individualistic focus. Jonathan shares his personal journey of healing after a motorbike accident and how it altered his perspective on suffering and the role of love in bringing about change. Self-reflection, learning from lessons, and embracing unconditional love for oneself and others are emphasized as essential components of the healing journey. Plant-based medicine includes substances like ayahuasca, San Pedro, and magic mushrooms that have neurogenerative and healing properties. Psychedelic medicines support neuroplasticity, allowing regions of the brain to communicate more effectively and facilitate personal growth. These experiences can help individuals heal childhood traumas, release negative energies, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Meditation helps in finding inner peace and becoming aware of the mind's thought patterns. Serious mental health conditions may require personalized attention and are high-risk for retreat organizations. Experienced plant medicine guides ensure a safe and effective journey. Revelation and growth: Embracing dissonance and exploring different realities within relationships can lead to a higher truth and deeper love for ourselves and others.

As our understanding of the world and medicine grows, certain things have to change. Things like leeches, cigarettes, and heroin were all considered to be good for you until we learned how bad they were. And now we're seeing positive therapies from things we used to only see as illegal street drugs. My guest today is Jonathan de Potter. Jonathan owns the psychedelic, plant-medicine based Behold Retreats. While still a relatively new thing, Jonathan brings a wealth of knowledge from his six years working with the natural medicines most commonly used for Psychedelic Therapies: Psilocybin the magic mushroom, Ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT the God Molecule. It's a wild topic and I think most people in the world are unaware that these things are legally accessible to most everyone. I know my personal knowledge of hallucinogenic drugs, before having this conversation, was basically non-existent. Now I'm curious to see the directions that things are heading in, and just how much good can come from something that millions have gone to prison across the world for previously.

Plant Medicine is in the mainstream now as a way to transform, reach a higher level of consciousness and become the best version of yourself.  Today Jonathan De Potter joins me on the podcast to talk about the benefits of plant medicine, the why, the what and the how.Jonathan was a former marketing consultant who felt that life was not serving him, he was looking for something more and went on his own plant medicine journey.  This spiritual transformation led him to create his company Behold Retreats - a bespoke wellness service that facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically proven therapeutic and spiritual benefits of plant medicine.Shamans, sages and everyday people have been reporting access to higher levels of consciousness and deeper states of awareness, and many PTSD sufferers have reported complete trauma healing through the use of plant medicine in the right environment, with the right support, and with the right intention.We talk about my fear around participating and ingesting these different plants, and Jonathan shares how you will just know if a journey is right for you. He discusses the importance of doing prep work before a journey and how to maintain the transformation that occurs.Hopefully this conversation will enlighten you and perhaps even entice you to raise your own consciousness by attending a facilitated plant journey of your own.Shine on!

There are those times in my podcast journey where I stumble across a really interesting guest, and Jonathan De Potter the founder and CEO of @behold_retreats is one of those people. We have a fascinating and organic conversation about everything from consciousness, to how psilocybin physically alters the brain, to how we are changing the collective consciousness together and even to the nature of reality.  Jonathan also shares his own story with us - giving up the corporate world a few years ago to try and find his own path to a more fulfilling life. He found his transformational path through psychedelic retreats but noticed that there were few companies who provided the level of support needed when dabbling with psychedelics. So, he decided to set one up - Behold Retreats. And the rest is history.

Plant medicine retreats and experiences are becoming a common theme in many conversations; for those that are seeking a connection to something MORE. This is even a conversation that I have within my friend groups as we know that plant medicine is powerful and something we're tapping into as we bring back the wisdom of our ancient ancestors and the wisdom we have held in our former lives.  Jonathan de Potter is bringing something beautiful to the world in his work with Behold Retreats as the Founder & Creator, along with the healers and shamans he has as part of the team. In this episode, we uncover the beauty (and important advice) about exploring the plant medicine realm:  How plant medicine (like psilocybin and ayahuasca) helps you unlock your spirituality (nothing related to religion but something far beyond that) Being fully prepared for the experience is key which is detoxing beforehand and choosing to have ample time to integrate the experience afterwards How “modern science” is connecting back into what our ancient ancestors already knew  Why it's important to understand that this medicine works on an energetic level and what that really means  That people need to be called to doing this rather than pushing themselves into experiences of plant medicine and the power it holds  And more!

I interviewed Jonathan de Potter. Jonathan is the Founder & CEO of Behold Retreats. This bespoke wellness service facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically proven benefits of plant medicine therapy. Jonathan is passionate about raising awareness of the benefits of plant medicine therapy and its potential to improve well-being and mental health outcomes. As a result, Jonathan felt compelled to launch Behold Retreats in 2020, providing curated programs incorporating a memorable plant medicine retreat in a safe, legal, and highly supported setting. Jonathan has spent his career working in strategy consulting with clients across Asia-Pacific, defining and delivering digital transformation programs. After several years in New Zealand, Jonathan moved to Hong Kong to work with Accenture and most recently lived in Bangkok as country manager for the boutique consulting firm Capco. Jonathan felt that something intangible was missing despite an objectively great life, good friends, and career success. As a result, Jonathan took a sabbatical year to travel through South America, where he attended his first Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat in Peru. The retreat experience was transformational, and in his expanded state of consciousness, Jonathan was directly shown the mindsets and behaviors that kept him from reaching his potential. Returning to the corporate world, Jonathan was surprised to find he was more patient, empathetic, and productive than ever before and began researching the world of plant medicine and facilitating retreats. Originally from Hawaii, USA, Jonathan is currently based in Bangkok, Thailand, often traveling to continue his research into the best plant medicine retreat centers worldwide. He enjoys yoga, meditation, and surfing and is energized by big, bold ideas. I encourage every listener to follow him and gain insights from his teachings and retreats.  Everyone has a story, and this is his story.

Last year, I share my life-changing experience with plant medicine. During my plant medicine journey with Ayhawaska, my body spoke to me in a way I have never felt. She communicated to me her deepest desires, wants and needs through visions. Clarity, bliss and magical... Which makes my conversation with Jonathan today even more impactful! Today on our episode, I am honoured to welcome Jonathan de Potter.

In this episode I interview Jonathan de Potter, the founder & CEO of Behold Retreats, a bespoke wellness service that facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically proven benefits of plant medicine therapy. He is passionate about raising awareness on the benefits of plant medicine therapy, and its potential to improve wellbeing and mental health outcomes. This led him to launch Behold Retreats in 2020, providing curated programs incorporating a memorable plant medicine retreat in a safe, legal and highly supported setting. He has spent his career working in strategy consulting with clients across Asia-Pacific, defining and delivering digital transformation programs.  After a number of years in New Zealand, he moved to Hong Kong to work with Accenture, and most recently lived in Bangkok as country manager for the boutique consulting firm Capco. He felt that – despite an objectively great life, good friends and career success, something intangible was missing. As a result, Jonathan took a sabbatical year to travel through South America, where he attended his first Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat in Peru. The retreat experience was transformational, and in his expanded state of consciousness, he was shown directly the mindsets and behaviors that were keeping him from reaching his potential.  Returning to the corporate world, he was surprised to find he was more patient, empathetic and productive than ever before, and began researching the world of plant medicine, and facilitating retreats. Originally from Hawaii, USA, he is currently based in Bangkok, Thailand, travelling often to continue his research into the best plant medicine retreat centres around the world. He enjoys yoga, meditation, surfing, and is energized by big, bold ideas. Follow Behold Retreats on Instagram and learn more here.

This episode will come as a real shock to people who know me – because I've always been staunchly against drugs. So what persuaded me to change my mind and volunteer for my first ever experience of a psychedelic drug? You may have read about new research showing the remarkable effects of magic mushrooms in treating a host of mental disorders, such as depression, addictions and PTSD. There's a lot of hype around this ground-breaking area of “plant medicine” and - after careful thought - I decided that I would experience this for myself and then share an honest, first-person account with you. So I recently travelled to Amsterdam to take magic mushrooms in a safe, legal, supported setting with a skilled therapist. As you'll hear, the experience wasn't quite what I expected! This is one of the most fascinating and timely conversations I've shared so far. It also brings a much-needed dose of nuance, honesty and realism to the subject of magic mushrooms. My guest on this episode is Jonathan de Potter, Founder & CEO of Behold Retreats - a bespoke wellness service that facilitates journeys of self-discovery and transformation, supported by the scientifically proven benefits of plant medicine therapy. He's passionate about raising awareness of the benefits of plant medicine therapy, and its potential to improve wellbeing and mental health outcomes.

"This is a tool to amplify your sensitivity to some of those lower-level energies that might be keeping you away from your true self." Jonathan de Potter   Jonathan de Potter is the founder of Behold Retreats and in this episode we talk about the benefits of unpacking and exploring our inner world in a way that begins to give us a very different perspective in the relationship between self and the outer world. Jonathan and I chat about psychedelics or plant medicine. Psychedelics he says is an interesting term because different people with different interests define it differently. What he is focused on is the psychedelics that have a neurogenerative effect meaning they can actually facilitate the growth of new neurons and facilitate an increase in neuroplasticity. The medicine is fundamentally trying connect, reconnect, and harmonise body, mind, heart and spirit into a single vibration - to bring us back to our true self. We talk about energy and vibrations and Jonathan encourages us all to find the people who reflect the energy that we aspire to ultimately and to figure out what would truly make us happy.    Jonathan de Potter is the Founder of Behold Retreats, passionate about plant medicine, and believes that absolutely everyone can improve their mental health and consciousness. Behold Retreats facilitate life-changing plant medicine journeys to explore your inner world, discover your truth, and live to your full potential. A primary focus for Jonathan is to raise awareness and education on the subject of plant medicine, and to begin conversations on if and how to bring this important science to the many cultures in Asia- Pacific. Prior to working in plant medicine, Jonathan worked in management consulting, supporting clients in APAC with innovation, digital strategy, scaling, and transformation programs.   Connect with Jonathan: Through Behold Retreats website On Instagram   Resources Mentioned: Articles, videos and books on the science on Behold Retreats Website Netflix Documentary - Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics  Rick Doblin TED Talk

Jonathan de Potter is the Founder of Behold Retreats, a health and wellness platform that provides holistic plant medicine programs in beautiful, conscious, and soulful locations. He advocates unlocking true human potential by tapping into the inner self using holistic practices and plant medicine, a journey that stemmed from his desire to find his own life's purpose. In 2016, as an atheist confined in the corporate web, Jonathan took a year off from his full-time job for his first-ever plant medicine retreat in Peru. Humbled by the experience, he started spending more time researching plant medicine, and in the process, realized its connection with the human subconscious and how it helps embody life with more purpose and meaning. Today, he imparts this learning and wisdom as a healing facilitator to help transform the lives of many more people, unlike popular practice that consolidates knowledge into a product or periodic program. In today's conversation, Jonathan explores what it takes to master the journey of a true healer, including profound connection and surrendering for deeper exploration of the subconscious and conscious realms. Moreover, he intertwines science, culture, and the community's power to explain energetic interactions (that exist beyond your physical body) and talks about using plant-based medicines to intentionally release inherent trauma or lower-level energies to live a more conscious, content life. But what if your life is already free of the said trauma and is as happy as you know it? Is there a higher level of self you could experience? As Jonathan explains, there's a level beyond your present state of consciousness that involves greater trust and confidence in the universe; a life that serves not only you but also inspires the world outside you. That's where energetic healing has the potential to take you.   Follow Jonathan @behold_retreats Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 30% on any Organifi superfood product with code EVERFORWARD now through Dec 31, 2021 at www.Organifi.com/everforward  Save 15% on any Cured Nutrition functional mushroom and CBD product with code EVERFORWARD at www.CuredNutrition.com  Learn more and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/560

In western medicine, we rely heavily on Big Pharma and all the drugs they push out to help cure things like #depression , #anxiety , and other #mentalillnesses .  But they lack in understanding of understanding #psychedelics that have been used for over 15,000 years.  Including things like Magic Mushrooms, which only until about 5 years ago have even been researched.Jonathan de Potter really didn't understand anything about this field, until he started his own personally journey of self-discovery at a retreat in Peru.  This experience really opened his eyes into understanding that there is more to life then any egocentric thoughts or beliefs, so he started his own practice that has evolved into making an individual go from good to great!At Behold Retreats, we facilitate life-changing plant medicine (psychedelic) journeys to elevate our clients to peak performance and well-being. We guide clients that are ready to accelerate personal and spiritual growth to realize the full transformational benefits of psychedelic medicine like 5-MeO-DMT, Ayahuasca, and Psilocybin and provide safety, expertise, and curation, with memorable private and group retreats available in idyllic locations. With two decades of proven science and neurology on the subject of plant medicine from JHU, Harvard, Yale, etc, not to mention the recent Compass Pathways $1Bn IPO, this topic is set to radically improve our collective trajectory. Through our journey to guide clients to maximize the benefits of plant medicine, we have been networking extensively with industry leaders, developing insights to accelerate self-improvement that may be of interest to your audience. I had the privilege to be a guest on Healing Intentions hosted by Dr. Adrian Mehmedi.

Ever since the beginning of time humans have tried to enhance their life experience here on Earth. Nowadays some choose to enhance and raise their consciousness through psychedelics and plant medicine. Our guest today has climbed the corporate ladder in a desperate search for meaning. One day as he was constantly thinking about ways to make more money he had a look into the mirror and said to himself: ‘There's gotta be more to life than this!?'. The rest is absolute history. Jonathan went on a journey of self-discovery and he tried the plant medicine Ayahuasca for the first time whilst on a one year off from his work. Ever since he has started a company called Behold Retreats which has as its mission to guide their clients on an accelerated path of personal and spiritual growth. They are led on a 7 week programme that prepares them for transformational experiences with plant medicine like Ayahuasca and Psilocybin. They organise these retreats in some of the most idyllic locations on Earth, in places like Peru, Netherlands and Ecuador to name just a few. To name a few of the subjects and questions we've covered with Jonathan: Are people ready to experience psychedelics? Why do the majority of people experiencing plant medicine don't make much progress and almost always come back to the same base line ? Immortality…raising collective consciousness and much much more!

In Life-Sparring Round 14, Jonathan de Potter, founder and CEO of Behold Retreats, takes us on a trip far outside my comfort zone and our usual range of topics. Lo and behold, we are talking psychedelic plant medicine!Psychedelics received in recent years a scientific renaissance. Reputable institutes like Johns Hopkins or the Imperial College London are conducting studies on substances like Psilocybin and Ayahuasca, showing promising results in treating addictions, trauma, and depression.However, when talking about psychedelics, you quickly enter a rabbit hole that leads from science to philosophical questions and the esoteric. Is the self just an illusion? Where does our consciousness come from? Is there really a god molecule? My discussion with Jonathan de Potter touches on a lot of these topics.For show notes and more information, visit Life-Sparring.com/podcast

Heard of the potential of psychedelics for new ideas on leadership and supporting your creativity as an entrepreneur or executive? Meet my guest and expert on this today! It is Jonathan de Potter, the founder of Behold Retreats a special legal, vetted and safe retreat for leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. And btw, a portion of Beholds revenues is going to Fireside Project - the free psychedelic harm reduction hotline. Jonathan talks to me about the psychedelic CEO, how integration of the psychedelic experience is on of the most important topics after the psychedelic experience itself, how new ideas for a company can come out of an experience all together. But also how much the, often stressed and high pressured personal life of a CEO is connected to all of this and that there is no end of evolution for your consciousness, even if you try so hard to achieve it. So if you you are an entrepreneur , CEO or in a leadership position and you know that the top down fear based hierarchy in companies is in the process of being replaced by a more servant leadership.

Jonathan de Potter is the founder and CEO of Behold Retreats, and advocates for self-improvement and elevating consciousness as the most meaningful way to better the world.   Jonathan's priority is to raise education and awareness about plant medicines like Ayahuasca and Psilocybin, and guide others to maximize the potential benefits - ultimately leading him to launch Behold Retreats.   Questions   Could you share with us a little bit about what your company does, Behold Retreats and just a little bit about your journey? How is it that you got to where you are today? What were some of the things that may be catalyst that led you into the path that you're currently on? Plants in our introduction, Ayahuasca and Psilocybin, I'm sure like our listeners, I have no clue what it does and how it impacts your life. So could you just enlighten us on those two? So as you know, this podcast is all about navigating your customers experience. So I would love to tie this into how is it that this particular approach or strategy in terms of integrating plant medicine into your life will allow individuals to improve on their customer experience? Could you maybe share one, two or three things that you've seen? Do you work with corporate entities; do you mostly work with individuals? How does this really tap back into the primary reason of our work show? Maybe could you share with us maybe one or two things that from this type of strategy and approach on an individual level, the person was able to manifest better things in their lives, not just remove barriers, but there were results that were on a higher level, maybe with their business, whether it was a one man shop, or they were a manager in a business, or maybe even enhance the quality of their family, maybe they had better relationships or just to see what are some of the results that an individual can really supremely achieve if they really commit to this process? Could you share with us maybe one or two books that have had the biggest impact on you? It could be a book that you read recently, or a book that you've read a very long time ago, but it still has had a great impact on? Could you share with us maybe one thing that's going on in your life right now, something that you're really excited about - it could be something that you're working on to develop yourself or your people. Where can listeners find you online? Do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge you'll tend to revert to this quote? It kind of helps to refocus you or get you back on track if for whatever reason you get derailed. Do you have one of those?   Highlights   Jonathan's Journey   Jonathan shared that it all started for him personally, about 5 years ago, when he was living in Hong Kong. He was working as a Strategy and Management Consultant for Accenture, one of the big, big giant consulting firms, there 5 years in Hong Kong and he was working really long hours, usually about 12 to 16 hours a day and chasing big deals and chasing new clients and he was on a bit of a treadmill, and chasing the next promotion. And after about 5 years of that, he thought to himself, there must be more to life and he was an atheist at the time, and didn't really believe in anything spiritual. And so, he decided to take a year off and as part of that year, he travelled through South America and wound his way to a Ayahuasca retreat with two friends of his in Peru. And fundamentally, that just opened the door to spirituality, taught him so many humbling lessons and over the past 5 years he kind of been learning about plant medicine and preparing for launching Behold Retreats, which is really focused on guiding people towards really high quality, psychedelic or plant medicine experiences, so that they can really get the most out of them and improve the quality of everyday life.   What is Ayahuasca and Psilocybin and the Impacts They Have?   Me: So I pronounced two mouthful of plants in our introduction, Ayahuasca and Psilocybin, could you share with us, I'm sure like our listeners, I have no clue what I just said and what it does, and how it impacts your life. So could you just enlighten us on those two?   Jonathan shared that Ayahuasca is a combination of two plants that are often found in Central and South America and brought together they combine in a powerful Ayahuasca brew that is very highly hallucinogenic.   And it can facilitate very powerful healing on the level of the mind, on the level of emotions and on the level of the spirit. And so, what we're looking to achieve through this work is to harmonize the subconscious mind with the conscious mind.   And so, what these powerful medicines do, for example, Ayahuasca or Psilocybin, which is the active compound in magic mushrooms, or psilocybe mushrooms. So what these powerful medicines do is they amplify what's happening in our subconscious mind and they give us greater access to what's happening in our subconscious minds.   And so, through that we're able to come face to face with some of the skeletons that you may say might be lying around in our closet and to begin to process the associated emotions in the approach associated limiting beliefs and limiting thought patterns that we have hanging out there in our subconscious minds. And as we do so then we can really make significant improvements to ourselves.    Approach or Strategy in Terms of Integrating Plant Medicine to Improve Customer Experience   Me: So as you know, this podcast is all about navigating your customer's experience. So I would love to tie this into how is it that this particular approach or strategy in terms of integrating plant medicine into your life will allow individuals to improve on their customer experience? Could you maybe share one, two or three things that you've seen? Do you work with corporate entities; do you mostly work with individuals? How does this really tap back into the primary reason of our show?   Jonathan shared that there's probably a couple of layers to this that we could explore. So he'll share a few thoughts, and then you can guide the conversation and the direction that you think your audience will find most helpful.   He shared that the first is really in relation to our experience, so any customer experience that we might imagine, or design or develop, is a function of our own thinking. And so, these powerful medicines have highly creative potential to them because they really remove constraints from the way that we think, often we've been so programmed, or we've been so conditioned through our parents, through society, culture, etc. to think in a very particular way.   And so, when we think about and speak about things like customer experience, then those influences do find their way into the ways that we define design, any set of customer experiences. So he thinks as and when we peel away those layers of programming, then there's an opportunity there to enhance our creativity and be able to see significantly new ways to think about customer and think about design and think about the customer experience. So he thinks that's one.   And then the second that he would mention would be, he thinks honestly speaking, it's a little bit early for the B2B aspect of this work, he thinks it's still rapidly gaining in popularity on the level of the individual. And so, they always say about their clients that the soul needs to be calling this is very deep and can be quite challenging work.   And so it's important that people individually feel ready to do the work. But there are certainly companies that are taking that next step and leadership teams coming together to try to re envisage their own strategy, their own vision for the company to really kind of set a very bold 10x or 100x vision for what the customer experience might be or what the outcomes that they're looking for, for the organization, and then using the plant medicine as a bit of an accelerator to just to removing the barriers to thinking, changing the paradigm to removing the ego, as often a limiter in terms of what's stopping a leadership team from working most efficiently together to achieve the vision that they're passionate about achieving together.   Using this Strategy or Approach to Manifest Better Things   Me: So, a few things popped in my mind just know when you were sharing those two points. One was, because I'm sure you have clients already that you've worked with, I'm sure there are some success stories out there. Maybe could you share with us maybe one or two things that from this type of strategy and approach on an individual level, the person was able to manifest better things in their lives, not just remove barriers, but there were results that were on a higher level, maybe with their business, whether it was a one man shop, or they were a manager in a business, or maybe even enhance the quality of their family life, maybe they had better relationships or just to see what are some of the results that an individual can really supremely achieve if they really commit to this process?   Jonathan stated that he should probably caveat his answer here by stating that plant medicine is a very powerful tool. So, a powerful tool can help you achieve the thing that you're trying to achieve but in of itself, it's not necessarily the answer, if that makes sense. So, it's the person that builds the house, the hammer just helps us get it done is an analogy that comes to mind. And so, what he might share here, he believes that everything that's possible with plant medicine is otherwise possible say through meditation and through other means. So, he just wants to caveat that, he's not saying this is some sort of a silver bullet in any way, shape, or form, it's a powerful tool. So yes, as Yanique alluded to, step one, he guesses, in relation to this work is often removing those limiting beliefs, kind of letting go of the past.   But step two, and kind of much more interesting and exciting than that is, “Okay, great, fantastic. But what are we bringing into our world?” And so, what is possible in relation to this is really up to the individual in terms of what they are? What is in alignment with what they can manifest it into the world?   There's is a very interesting paper that he came across about six months ago which is by the American CIA and what the paper describes is that the nature of the universe is a hologram of consciousness or a matrix of consciousness. And so, when we hear about books like The Secret, or when we hear about things like The Law of Attraction, the reason that that stuff works is that the nature of the universe is consciousness and so obviously, we are highly conscious beings. And so there's a relationship between the nature of the universe itself, and this very powerful tool that we have which is our consciousness and our imagination. And so, when you speak about what we're able to manifest, what we're able to attract into our lives, then virtually, he doesn't think that there's any limitation for anyone in terms of what they can manifest and attract into their lives.   Now, of course, there's a part of our brain, there's a part of our rational mind that immediately thinks, “Well, hang on. Well, that's not my experience of the world, I've got this 3D existence, and I've got taxes, and I've got people who depend upon me and a job and these other things. And so, I'd love to just be able to manifest whatever I want into my experience.” But it doesn't quite work like that.   But actually, it does and so what becomes very exciting is that as we begin to remove these limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns and dot, dot, dot, and I'm not good enough, and all of that, that we really can manifest whatever it is that we want in our life. So whether that means a new job, whether that means improvements of the quality of our health, whether that means great relationships, a loved one, more free time, whatever it is that we'd like to manifest into our experience, if we're very clear on that and we're very determined in the way that we approach that then his genuine, honest opinion is that we can manifest virtually anything into our experience.   Books That Have Had the Greatest Impact on Jonathan   When asked about books that have had the biggest impact, Jonathan stated that he'll share two books. The first is Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by Dr. David Hawkins. And that's a very simple book but it's such a powerful book and so what he teaches is the various levels of consciousness. So, from the lowest level emotions like shame, guilt, fear, apathy, grief, and then up to the higher level, but still negative emotions like desire, anger, pride, etc, up into the very higher states of consciousness, like peace, love, and joy. And so, he's mapped out these various stages of consciousness and also provides tools for people to, number one, understand where they are in relation to these levels of consciousness. But number two, also to begin to make steps towards letting go which is the key to being able to move to higher levels of consciousness. So, that's number one.   And then number two is very much in relation to what they were just talking about, which is manifestation. And it's a wonderful book by Kidest OM, she's a great author. She's got a bunch of books out there and as you might imagine, the book is about how to manifest Anything You Want.   What Jonathan is Really Excited About Now!   Jonathan shared that the first one that he's excited about is they've just adopted two stray cats. And their existing cat is not particularly happy about that. So there's energetic dynamics in the house, as everything kind of evens out. But more broadly than that, there's two things that they're involved in that he's super excited about.   The first is bringing more spiritual knowledge into some of the psychedelic science. So they've got some really impressive science that's happening at Johns Hopkins University, at NYU, at Harvard, Yale, Imperial College in London, some of the leading academic institutions out there. But they're taking a very deterministic and science based approach to this work. And so, some of the spiritual mentors that exists within Behold Retreats are bringing some more of this knowledge into the scientific world, which he thinks is very exciting and will prove its value and its ability to accelerate some of the scientific understanding. So, that's one piece that he's very excited about besides the cats.   And then the second is, he's just speaking to a couple of governments in the region, he's based in Thailand. And they're trying to establish the first legal option for plant medicine in the region, because, as you may be aware that this work is illegal in the overwhelming majority of countries, which is why they do a lot of this work in Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Netherlands, and in soon Jamaica.   Me: Yes, I'm sure you'll get good support from Jamaica, because we do believe in natural approaches to dealing with our health in Jamaica, that's part of our culture and our history. So, I think once you can provide justification as to how this will help you, if it's going to renew cells, cause rejuvenation, as I was mentioning earlier in the conversation, show results, people will definitely embrace it because it's a way better option than swallowing pills on a daily basis, which can't be helpful for you.   Jonathan agreed and shared that what's interesting about this medicine compared to our Western paradigm, in our Western understanding of medicine, is that this medicine really requires a very highly capable practitioner alongside it, it's not that you can just take a couple of mushrooms or take some Ayahuasca and that your life improves, that's really not it, these, these plant medicines, or these psychedelics, in of themselves are not necessarily positive, it's how we use them and who were guided by that makes fundamentally the difference between a very high quality healing or growth experience and just, honestly, just taking some psychedelics, taking some drugs, if that makes sense.   Where Can We Find Jonathan Online   Instagram – @behold_retreats Website – www.behold-retreats.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Jonathan Uses   When asked about a quote or saying that he tends to revert to, Jonathan stated that he does, a quote he really loves is “A ship is safe in harbour but that's not what ships are for.” He applied to both the context of the individual as well as what a group of individuals may be achieved, trying to achieve together. And so, in relation to that, we are all here individually to evolve ourselves and so it's very easy to stay at home and watch Netflix on a Friday night, but there's much more interesting and better things that we might be doing with our time and with our energy. And so, the way that he always interpreted that quote is, yeah, you can stay at home or you can limit yourself or there's many ways to be comfortable in life. But when you put yourself out there as a ship out of harbour then good things happen.   And yes, there are challenges but that's what this life is all about. It's about facing those challenges that we may encounter and seeing if we have it within ourselves to meet those challenges and potentially even to overcome those challenges.   Please connect with us on Twitter @navigatingcx and also join our Private Facebook Community – Navigating the Customer Experience and listen to our FB Lives weekly with a new guest   Grab the Freebie on Our Website – TOP 10 Online Business Resources for Small Business Owners    Links Anything You Want by Kidest OM Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by Dr. David Hawkins   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience   Do you want to pivot your online customer experience and build loyalty - get a copy of “The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience.”   The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience provides 26 easy to follow steps and techniques that helps your business to achieve success and build brand loyalty.

What brings someone from working at a Fortune 500 company to the world of hallucinogenics? It's a long, strange trip. Hallucinogens are coming back into the forefront of healing and spirituality. Back in the '70s, they had been a big part of spiritual practice. But it wasn't until recently that the term microdosing began to take off and become a commonly used term — and it's an enormously powerful tool for health, mind, spirituality, and behavior.

Plant medicine has been used in ancient healing traditions for thousands of years. These traditions have gained popularity as of late to many individuals, business leaders, and companies to cultivate growth for healing, elevating consciousness, and transcending personal limitations. Our guest Jonathan de Potter is the founder and CEO of Behold Retreats. Behold Retreats was established to guide clients to realize the full benefits of plant medicine therapy. We discuss the types of plant medicines used to facilitate the experience. Plants such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, and san pedro. The importance of a process that includes preparation lessons and work before the retreat and integration lessons and support following the experience. The overall goal of the process is to create a safe transformative experience that makes permanent changes in your life moving forward.    Many individuals report the following after an experience: Improvement in brain function, mood, cognition, and clarity of thinking Increased motivation to care for yourself physical, spiritually, and emotionally Greater empathy and love for others Enhanced clarity of purpose    Jonathan is the Founder & CEO of Behold Retreats, and advocates for elevating consciousness and working on ourselves as the most meaningful way to improve the world.
