In this episode, I sit down with Brian Costello, author of The Primordial Code—one of my favorite books of all time.We take a behind-the-scenes look at the story, the characters, and some of our favorite scenes. Brian shares how the book came together, what inspired it, and some of the deeper meaning woven throughout the story.And, of course, we go deep.We talk about plant medicine, the nature of consciousness, and the kinds of experiences that can cause us to question everything we thought we knew about reality.During the final hour, the conversation goes even deeper as we uncover some of the hidden Easter eggs within the book—Easter eggs that hint there may be far more to Earth, space, and evolution than we have been told.This leads us into some fascinating questions:What role did ancient civilizations play in our history?Are we living through the “Little Season”?And are we in the middle of a spiritual war without even realizing it?Whether you've read The Primordial Code or you're discovering it for the first time, this is a fascinating conversation about plant medicine, human origins, ancient civilizations, consciousness, spiritual warfare, and the true nature of the world we inhabit.If this conversation resonates with you, follow the show, leave a rating or review, and share this episode with someone willing to question what we have been taught.Get The Primordial Code: https://www.theprimordialcode.com/My Website: The Unplugged HumanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Get a copy of The Unplugged JournalPodcast gear, Quotes from Mother, Pine pollen and tallow - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

Send us a text!If you can't trust the skunk man, who can you trust?Doug's latest wildlife crisis leads us into Idaho politics: official rifles, declaring English the state language, restricting ballot initiatives, reproductive rights, and the strange version of “freedom” that protects your right to carry a gun while limiting everyone else's choices.From there, we talk about returning to the practices that keep us human—movement, ritual, music, and feeling emotions without getting trapped in their stories. Mike explores how his environment shapes his identity through the lens of Human Design, while Doug reflects on authenticity, spiritual evolution, and allowing the people we love to find their own way without forcing an outcome.Also: eating creatures, foraging with Australian hippies, forgotten Audible credits, and the possibility that Doug himself has been the skunk man all along.Content note: This episode includes discussion of reproductive rights, religious harm, and strong language.Want more?

Trigger warnings: addiction and self-harm. What if healing didn't have to feel intense… oroverwhelming… or like you're forcing your way through it?In this episode, I'm joined by Christian Rasmussen,researcher and founder of Amentara, who is helping bring Amanita muscaria into the modern healing conversation in a grounded and responsible way. This is not your typical plant medicine discussion. We're talking about a completely different relationship to healing, one that works with your nervous system instead of pushing it past its limits.We explore how Amanita has been used historically, what's actually happening in the body, and why it's gaining attention right now in a world where so many people feel chronically dysregulated.If you've ever been curious about plant medicine buthesitant about intensity, safety, or losing control, this conversation opens a very different door.In this episode, you'll learn:What Amanita muscaria is and how it differs from other plant medicines How it supports the nervous system instead of overstimulating it The history and traditional use of Amanita Why this medicine is resurfacing right now How suppressed emotions can come up gently and safely The connection between Amanita, dreams, and intuition What responsible use, preparation, and integration really look like How this fits into a modern healing journey  WHERE TO FIND CHRISTIAN RASMUSSENwww.amentara.comhttps://www.instagram.com/R.Christian.Rhttps://www.instagram.com/amentara.shophttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmQ8Ta3Zz5rfOVRHYY1driQhttps://www.theamanitaeffect.com/https://x.com/MNNiceEthno FIND MELISSA⁠⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠⁠MYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #ChristianRasmussen #MelissaBrunetti #AmanitaMuscaria #PlantMedicineHealing #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaHealingTools #AlternativeHealing #HolisticHealing #AncientMedicine #SpiritualHealing#PsychedelicEducation #IntegrationWork

This is probably the episode of the show Greg thinks of first when people ask, "Which interview was your favorite?".... In Tribute to Dr. Richard Alan Miller (1944-2026) Earlier this week, we learned that Dr. Richard Alan Miller - who appeared on Open Loops twice, became a friend of the show, and someone Greg was fortunate to know personally - had passed away suddenly.In tribute, and in RAMembrance of him (Doc even loved a bad pun), Greg shares a few words about what he meant to him before this rerelease of their first conversation from 2021.Dr. Richard Alan Miller dedicated his life to exploring altered states of consciousness, the paranormal, physics, metaphysics, agriculture, and seemingly everything in between.Dr. Richard Alan Miller dedicated his life to exploring altered states of consciousness and all things paranormal. He was a polymath physicist, meta-physicist, agriculturalist, and the inspiration for Fox Mulder on "The X-Files." In some ways, his real-life adventures around the world had been even weirder. He did LSD with Timothy Leary, he'd been to Antarctica's secret underground base, he'd met the real-life "Don Juan" from Carlos Castaneda's works, he invented an artificial intelligence prototype in the 70s and he was a Mensa-level genius. This episode itself is one of the most profound trance experiences Greg has ever had. You will go into an altered state listening, but that's by design. Doc R.A.M. takes you there deliberately and it's simply unforgettable. Ready for mind-blowing moment after mind-blowing moment? You aren't. And that's why this episode is one of the best Open Loops has ever put out....Dr. Richard Alan Miller's Link: https://www.richardalanmiller.com/If you enjoy this podcast, please rate this show and leave a review!

Virgo, the physician of the zodiac, rules the gut, the harvest, and the humble herbs that heal without fanfare. In this remastered Astro Herbalism episode, Kyle Denton of Tippecanoe Herbs, Mario Garza of Symbolic Studies, Michelle Lundquist of Michelle's Healing Home, and Slick Dissident join Chance Garton to explore the mutable earth sign through its plants, its myths, and its medicine.We weigh the Hermit card as an elder shepherd carrying the lamb, trace the Virgin from the Mesopotamian furrow to the fleur de lis, and ask why the gut prefers to stay hidden. Then the herbs: Chamomile, the gentle healer that proves soft can still be strong; Queen Anne's Lace, the wild carrot with the single drop of blood at its center; the Madonna Lily and its long lineage of virgin birth symbolism; Milky Oats for burnt out nerves; Corn Silk and the hairy, hidden wisdom of whole grains; and Wood Betony, the forgotten herb that reconnects a busy head to its gut instincts.This remaster (originally recorded in 2023) has cleaner audio and a tighter cut, turning a rambling livestream into a focused master class on Virgo, discernment, digestion, and the doctrine of signatures.Herbal content in this episode is shared for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Dr. T welcomes ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron, founder of Kintu Worlds, for a conversation about combat trauma, ayahuasca, ceremonial practice, and the responsibilities involved in creating safe medicine spaces. Michael describes how military service profoundly altered his sense of self and how the loss of a fellow soldier affected his unit. After leaving the military, the symptoms of PTSD became increasingly apparent, eventually contributing to a longer search for healing. His introduction to ayahuasca in Australia became an important point in that process and ultimately led to years of personal medicine work and ceremonial facilitation. Michael and Dr. T explore the cultural dimensions of ayahuasca practice and the complexities that arise as traditional medicine moves beyond its original cultural contexts. Michael argues that different cultures bring distinct psychological patterns, histories, and ways of relating into ceremony, requiring facilitators to understand the people they serve rather than simply reproduce another culture's practices. The conversation also examines Michael's approach to ceremonial safety, including clear boundaries, protection, presence, self-knowledge, and what he describes as working from the heart. For Michael, the heart is not associated with sentimentality, but with clarity, embodied presence, and an immediate capacity to perceive what is occurring within a ceremonial space. Dr. T and Michael consider what these perspectives might mean as psychedelic therapy increasingly brings clinical psychotherapy into contact with ceremonial and spiritual frameworks. They discuss tensions between medical models and traditional approaches, the importance of ethical standards among underground practitioners, and the possibility of greater collaboration among ceremonial communities. Michael also reflects on mortality, friendship, community, and the relationships that help people endure difficult periods of life. His experiences of combat and trauma inform a perspective in which medicine work is not only concerned with individual transformation, but also with cultivating connection, responsibility, kindness, and meaningful participation in community. “You know, and this is medicine of friendship. You know, cultivate that friendship, that support. And that's what keeps us strong; and have a listening ear. Listen. We don't have to say so much. Just listen and be kind to each other, and that's it.” — Michael Gueron About Michael Gueron: Michael's journey began in Israel, where early life experiences, including military service as a member of the Israeli Paratroopers, left deep emotional wounds. Overcoming the trauma of these intense combat experiences led Michael to a profound healing journey spanning over 15 years. From studying transpersonal counseling, Shiatsu, and oriental therapies, to immersing himself in sacred plant medicine traditions in Peru and Brazil, Michael's path has been one of relentless transformation. His work with Australian acacias and master plants like Ayahuasca and Huachuma has awakened profound soul memories and a deep commitment to service. Today, Michael has facilitated thousands of individuals in their healing journeys, combining ancient wisdom with compassionate care. All Things Ayahuasca podcast Website: KintuWorlds.com Key Moments: [00:00:00] Introduction and Content Warning Truth Fairy and Dr. T open the episode with a content warning and information about supporting Punk Therapy and upcoming training opportunities. [00:02:26] Meet Michael Gueron Dr. T introduces ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron and his background in trauma healing, meditation, traditional practices, and plant medicine. [00:05:04] Stepping Out of the Shadows Michael discusses his preference for working quietly behind the scenes and why he believes sharing knowledge publicly is increasingly important. [00:07:16] Combat Trauma and the Path to Ayahuasca Michael describes military service in Israel, his experience of PTSD, and the healing journey that eventually brought him to ayahuasca. [00:10:43] Art, Nature, and Life Before the Military Michael reflects on his early connection to creativity, nature, animals, and the landscape before entering military service. [00:13:59] Military Service as a Rite of Passage Michael explores how military training, combat, loss, and the bonds between soldiers fundamentally changed his sense of self. [00:18:48] Culture and the Western Psyche Michael and Dr. T examine how ayahuasca is moving across cultures and why different cultural and ancestral contexts shape medicine experiences. [00:23:55] Boundaries and Ceremonial Safety The conversation turns to the importance of clarity, boundaries, protection, and strong containment when facilitating medicine ceremonies. [00:28:51] Where Therapy Meets Ceremonial Practice Dr. T and Michael consider what conventional psychotherapy may encounter as psychedelic therapy increasingly intersects with spiritual and ceremonial experiences. [00:33:51] What It Means to Work From the Heart Michael distinguishes embodied presence and clarity from sentimental ideas of the heart and explains their importance in his ceremonial practice. [00:37:17] Perception and Presence in Ceremony Michael describes his auditory and intuitive ways of tracking what is occurring for individuals and within the wider ceremonial space. [00:42:25] Working Across Cultures and Worldviews Michael discusses ancestry, cultural understanding, human connection, and finding common ground when working with people from different backgrounds. [00:46:35] Mortality, Fear, and Meaning Michael reflects on encounters with death and how awareness of mortality can change the way people understand fear, life, and medicine work. [00:48:59] The Future of Ayahuasca and Psychedelic Medicine Dr. T and Michael discuss legalization, medical models, ceremonial traditions, and possible pathways toward greater recognition of ayahuasca practice. [00:58:14] Friendship, Community, and Kindness Michael closes with a call for connection, listening, friendship, and simple acts of kindness as forms of medicine within communities. __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This was an explosive episode of Soul Elevation with guest Marston Fries. During their recording—notably, while discussing pineal-gland piezoelectric effects—Kara's electronics suddenly shut down and her computer dropped to 1% battery. This is significant when you understand the energetic nature of reality, and how electronics respond to surges of energy. Marston shares her background rising to VP in her Wall Street career by age 27, then feeling called toward spirituality. After the sudden death of a partner, her psychic and mediumship abilities emerged, leading to telepathic contact with an extraterrestrial "soul family," insights about a control paradigm, and a decision to leave her career, travel, and publicly share her experiences, which led to social fallout and also global support.  She shares about a 10-day ayahuasca master plant dieta in Costa Rica involving a kundalini/DNA activation and later physical ET contact.  Marston explains her work through The Bridging Catalyst, offering sessions and building a consciousness-and-capital bridge to support new-paradigm systems.

Beana Bern is the founder of Rootstock Retreat, a ten-acre retreat and community in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, where she works with psilocybin through immersive medicine retreats and seasonal microdosing programs.In this conversation, we rethink what we mean when we use the word “medicine.” Beana shares her own decades-long relationship with psychedelics and explains why mushrooms can be remarkably efficient at showing us where our pain, patterns, and stories come from...while challenging the idea that the psychedelic experience itself does the work of healing.We talk about our own early experiences with microdosing, the problems with turning psychedelics into another magic pill, and why Beana structures her microdosing work around the rhythms of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. From there, the conversation widens considerably: the medicine of place, reconnecting with nature, developing internal authority without rejecting the need for guides, and learning to recognize wisdom in the world immediately around us.We also venture into animism, the sentience of mushrooms, energetic and spiritual hygiene, unseen forces, and whether “hallucinogen” is even the right word for experiences that can sometimes feel more real than ordinary reality.Ultimately, this is a conversation about much more than psychedelics. It's about awareness, relationship, and expanding our understanding of medicine beyond something we consume to include the places we inhabit, the seasons we move through, the experiences that challenge us, and the living world (terrain) of which we are a part.Learn more about Beana and her work at Rootstock Retreat: https://rootstockretreat.com/Use code TERRAIN333 to take $333 of their next Microdosing Immersion: https://rootstock.mykajabi.com/medicine-of-the-westSupport Terrain Theory on Patreon!

Send us a text!Six years, six seasons, and one slightly delayed anniversary later—we're back, baby.After a summer filled with concerts, funerals, psychedelics, work transitions, travel plans, and an unreasonable number of DoorDash bananas, we catch up on everything that's happened during the break.Mike reflects on losing his job after sixteen years, finishing his dissertation proposal, and the strange polarity between newfound freedom and panic about what comes next. We also revisit the tribute concert for Kevin, remember Carolyn Elliott and the lasting impact of Existential Kink, and unpack a psychedelic journey that briefly descended into madness—and may have opened something in Mike's voice before nearly destroying it.Doug opens up about the unexpected death of his soulmate dog, Ozzie Bear, and the grief that followed. His dad offers one of the most beautiful lessons of the episode: “We share our grief with our loved ones so that they can help us carry it.”Finally, we return to our roots with a conversation about Mormonism: friends leaving the Church fourteen years after we did, institutional changes that feel more operational than prophetic, leadership roulette, the contradictions of personal revelation, and the absence of a clear moral voice in a moment that desperately needs one.Season seven begins exactly where it should: somewhere between grief and laughter, Mormonism and mushrooms, madness and meaning.Topics include:Remembering Carolyn ElliottKevin's tribute concert and the healing power of musicPsychedelic madness, ritual containers, and integrationLayoffs, freedom, fear, and life outside the cageWorld Cup withdrawals and Wrexham time-zone confusionGrieving Ozzie Bear and refusing to gatekeep griefWhy more longtime Mormons may be leavingOperational revelation, prophetic silence, and the Church as a businessContent note: This episode includes discussion of death, pet loss, psychedelics, and strong language.Want more?

In this episode I share about the integration process AFTER having experienced an ayahuasca ceremony and I discuss psychedelic therapy and how it has the potential to rewire the brain, change the mind and allow us to release blocks that may be keeping us attached to old programming. While I do not endorse psychedelic use and maintain that this is something to be taken very seriously and done under supervision by ethical practitioners, I am fascinated by the neuroscience and potential for psychedelic therapy to reset our brains and reprogram our limiting beliefs.Link to Michael Pollan's Book: How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendencehttps://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mi...ZOOM BACKGROUND DESIGN BY FREEPIK.COM Music Credits: Track: Wandering — JayJen [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: • Wandering — JayJen | Free Background ...

Over the past year, my work has been taking me deeper into a question that has been sitting underneath much of my coaching practice: what happens when we have already done a lot of the work in the mind, but something is still keeping us from living our full potential?As a coach, I have spent years working with leaders on strategy, decision-making, self-awareness, leadership, relationships, purpose and business. And yet, again and again, I have seen that knowing something intellectually does not necessarily mean that we can change it. We can understand why we behave the way we do. We can talk about our fears, our childhood patterns and our limiting beliefs. We can even have a very clear vision of the person we want to become. And still, we repeat the same patterns.This is what eventually led me to explore another dimension of the work: the wisdom of the body, the intelligence of the heart and, eventually, plant medicine.For this episode of A Spark of Awareness, I invited Omar M'Rabet Gomez to have a conversation about his own journey with plant medicine, what he has learned through almost three decades of working with these traditions, and why so many leaders are increasingly curious about this work. This is not an invitation to see plant medicine as the answer to everything. There are many paths to transformation. But for some people, it can be a powerful catalyst for going beyond the patterns of the mind and accessing something that has been difficult to reach through conventional approaches alone.From the corporate world to the jungleOmar's story is very different from mine, but there was something very familiar in it. Born in Mexico, he grew up with a strong connection to nature and spent much of his youth seeking out indigenous communities and learning from people who had maintained a relationship with nature that modern society has, in many ways, forgotten.Long before plant medicine became a mainstream conversation, Omar was traveling, spending time with indigenous communities and learning from them. His first experience with peyote happened in Mexico, followed years later by his first experience with Ayahuasca in the Amazon in 2004. At the time, very little was known publicly about these traditions. There were no Instagram accounts explaining how to prepare for a ceremony, no mainstream podcasts and very little public conversation about psychedelics. He entered this world through direct experience.What happened in those early ceremonies profoundly changed him. He describes experiences of forgiveness, self-love and a deep sense of connection. One of the most important realizations for him was what he calls radical unconditional self-love.But what struck me most about Omar's story is that he did not immediately leave the corporate world and become a facilitator. He went back. He worked in business. He managed a law firm. He lived a very material, successful life. And yet, something was missing.Eventually, a series of profound life events brought him back to the path he had encountered in the jungle and ultimately led him to build a healing centre and dedicate his life to this work.Looking back, he says something that stayed with me: he didn't build the healing centre to heal other people. He built it to heal himself.Helping others became a byproduct of his own healing journey. And perhaps this is an important distinction for anyone working in the space of transformation: We cannot guide others where we have not been.Why are leaders drawn to plant medicine?One of the questions I wanted to explore with Omar was why so many high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs are increasingly curious about psychedelics and plant medicine.Because this is not only happening in spiritual communities. Omar has worked with people from all walks of life: electricians, mechanics, mothers, entrepreneurs, executives and CEOs of some of the world's largest companies.And according to his experience, the most powerful leaders often encounter the same fundamental challenges as everyone else. They get in their own way.Behind the performance, the success, the intelligence and the ability to make decisions, there can be self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear, the need for recognition and a deep attachment to control. The more successful someone becomes, the more sophisticated the protection mechanisms can become.You can build an incredible company while simultaneously building an identity around being the person who cannot fail. You can become a CEO while secretly wondering whether you are good enough. You can have millions in the bank and still be afraid that everything could disappear tomorrow. You can become very powerful externally while feeling insecure internally.This is where Omar believes plant medicine can become a powerful catalyst. It can help people step outside the usual patterns through which they perceive themselves and their lives. Not because the medicine magically fixes anything, but because it can create an experience where you are able to see yourself, your story and your patterns from a different perspective.The biggest barrier is ourselvesOne of the themes that came up repeatedly in our conversation was control.Leaders are often rewarded for being in control. Control the strategy. Control the numbers. Control the team. Control the outcome. Control the risk.But what happens when control becomes the way we navigate our entire life?Omar shared a simple metaphor that stayed with me. Imagine holding a handful of sand. If you squeeze it as hard as you can because you are trying to control it, the sand will escape through your fingers. But if you hold it gently, it can remain in your hand.The same can happen with life. Sometimes, the harder we try to control an outcome, the more resistance we create around it.And this is particularly interesting for high achievers because the very qualities that helped them succeed can eventually become the things that limit them. Discipline can become rigidity. Ambition can become exhaustion. Focus can become obsession. Self-reliance can become isolation. Confidence can become an inability to receive help. And control can become an inability to surrender.But going beyond the mind does not mean becoming passive. This was an important point in our conversation.Being in flow is not about doing nothing and waiting for the universe to solve your problems. It is not about abandoning ambition or responsibility. It is about removing some of the unnecessary weight that we carry while pursuing what matters to us.The backpack we carry up the mountainOmar gave another metaphor that I loved. Imagine that you are climbing a mountain. You are determined to reach the top, but you are carrying a huge backpack filled with everything you have accumulated throughout your life: past relationships, childhood wounds, fears, limiting beliefs, negative thought loops, expectations and identities.You can still climb the mountain. But it is going to be much harder.Plant medicine, in his experience, can sometimes help people look inside that backpack and ask: Do I still need to carry all of this?Maybe the goal is not to stop climbing. Maybe the goal is to climb without carrying what no longer belongs to you.This is where I see a very interesting connection with leadership. Many leaders are not lacking ambition. They are not lacking intelligence. They are not lacking discipline. They are carrying too much.And sometimes the next level of performance does not come from adding another strategy, another course, another productivity system or another goal. It comes from releasing what is consuming the energy that could otherwise be available for creation.What are you afraid will happen if you change?There is also a deeper fear that comes up when we talk about this work: who will I be if I change?I have heard this question many times in my coaching practice. What if I don't want to run my company anymore? What if I stop wanting the promotion? What if I don't care about the money anymore? What if I want to build something completely different? What if I become a different person?For many leaders, their ambition has become deeply connected to their identity.The fear is not necessarily of failing. The fear is of discovering that the thing they have been chasing for the last 10, 15 or 20 years is no longer what they actually want.And that can be terrifying.Because if you have built your entire identity around being successful, what happens when your definition of success changes?This is where I believe the work becomes much deeper than performance coaching. It becomes a question of identity.Who are you underneath the achievement?Who are you when nobody is watching? Who are you without the title? Who are you without the company? Who are you without the recognition? Who are you when you no longer need to prove anything?Plant medicine can sometimes open the door to these questions very quickly. But the questions themselves are available to all of us, with or without medicine.Why now?Another question we explored was why this conversation is becoming so present now.For me, there is something happening collectively. We have never been more connected digitally, and yet many people have never felt more disconnected from themselves, from nature and from each other.We are constantly stimulated, consuming information, looking at screens. Receiving notifications, messages and opinions. And our ability to simply be present is becoming increasingly difficult.For leaders, this is amplified. They are making decisions in an environment of constant uncertainty, rapid technological change, AI, economic pressure and competition. The old model was already intense. The speed of the new world is even faster.And perhaps the answer is not to make humans operate even faster. Perhaps it is to develop another form of intelligence: one that is not only analytical, but that also includes the body, intuition, emotional intelligence, presence, discernment and connection.This is where I see the bridge between conscious leadership and plant medicine becoming particularly interesting.Beyond the mind does not mean against the mindOne thing I want to be very clear about is that I don't see this work as mind versus body.The mind is extraordinary. We need strategy. We need logic. We need analysis. We need science. We need critical thinking.But we are not only our minds.And when the mind has reached its limit, sometimes adding more information is not the answer. Sometimes the answer is to create enough space to access another form of knowing.This is why I have become increasingly interested in what happens beyond the mind. Some of the deepest shifts in my own life did not happen because I finally understood something intellectually. They happened because I felt something.I felt it in my body. I felt it in my heart. And once something is felt deeply enough, behaviour can begin to change in a way that intellectual understanding alone could not create.Plant medicine is a catalyst, not the whole journeyOne of the most important points I took from our conversation is that the ceremony itself is not the transformation.It can be the catalyst. It can open a door. It can show you something. It can help you see a pattern from a completely different perspective.But then comes the real work: integration.What do you do with what you have seen? How do you change your relationships? How do you lead your company differently? How do you change your habits? How do you communicate differently with your team? How do you make decisions? How do you live?This is where the work becomes practical.And this is also why I believe that plant medicine should never be approached casually or as a shortcut. There are risks, there are contraindications, and the context matters enormously. The preparation, the facilitator, the setting, the lineage and the integration all matter.There is a big difference between consuming a substance and entering into a properly held process of self-inquiry.As Omar said during our conversation, we don't “use” the medicine. We work with it.That distinction matters to me.A reflection for leadersSo if you are a leader listening to this and you are curious about plant medicine, I would start with a different question than “Should I do it?”I would start with: What am I still carrying that is preventing me from becoming who I know I can be?* Where am I operating from fear? * Where am I trying to control something that cannot be controlled? Where am I performing? Where do I need external validation? * What part of my identity am I afraid to lose?* Who could I become if I no longer needed to prove that I am enough?Plant medicine may be one path into those questions. It is not the only one. But for me, it has been a powerful doorway into a dimension of myself that I could not access through the mind alone.And this is the work I am increasingly bringing into my leadership practice: helping leaders go beyond performance, beyond the identity they have built, and beyond the limitations of the mind, so they can reconnect with their own wisdom, purpose and aliveness.Because the future of leadership may not need humans who can simply think faster. It may need humans who can feel deeper, see wider, and lead from a more conscious place.I am dreaming to see a world where more leaders operate from that place.Beyond The Mind: The Science of Plant MedicinesWatch The Masterclass ReplayThanks for reading Rise and Play!

We have been open about our experiences with psychedelics and microdosing and the meaningful role they played in our own journeys into Terrain. But as psychedelics move from the counterculture into clinics, retreats and the mainstream, are we at risk of turning them into another version of the very thing they're supposed to replace: the magic pill?John O'Connor, author of A Short, Strange Trip, joins us for a nuanced look at the psychedelic renaissance through the story of one of its most influential figures, Terence McKenna. John retraced McKenna's journey into the Colombian Amazon, separating some of the history from the mythology and discovering that indigenous relationships with psychoactive plants look very different from the Western stories we've built around them.The conversation becomes deeply personal when John shares his father's unsuccessful attempts to treat decades of alcohol addiction with ketamine and psilocybin-assisted therapy—an experience that forced John to confront his own expectations about these medicines. We explore the danger of placing responsibility for healing onto a substance, why psychedelics may help us rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves without necessarily making those stories true, and the strange contradiction of rejecting the pharmaceutical model only to replace "take this pill" with "take this mushroom."We also get into McKenna's complicated legacy, psychedelic shamanism, ego dissolution and spiritual grandiosity, the therapeutic versus recreational use of psychedelics, indigenous plant traditions, the importance of intention and integration, and why it's possible to recognize the profound potential of these substances without turning them into something they aren't.This isn't a rejection of psychedelics. It's a challenge to hold the promise and the problems at the same time, and to remember that no medicine can do the work of tending our terrain for us.Learn more about John and his work at https://www.johnmoconnor.com/Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

In the final part of this Mike Drop conversation, Prime Hall traces his path from military transition into deep psychological healing. He details his first 5-MeO-DMT experience, a profound "hard reset" that showed him both the devastating and the redemptive paths his life could take, and how it launched an unexpected connection to Mike Tyson and Tyson Ranch. Prime opens up about the harder road that followed—relapse, medication struggles, and losing two close friends to suicide within days of each other—and how ayahuasca, integration therapy, and a structured approach to plant medicine helped him rebuild. The conversation closes on his new book, Permission to Heal, his work in the firearms tech space, fatherhood, and his personal relationship with faith. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why does a man with everything going right for him quietly fall apart on the inside? Jeremy Lipkowitz was a PhD student at Duke studying the genetic code that supposedly explains what a human being is. On the outside it looked like a life going exactly to plan. In private he was losing to a compulsion nobody around him knew about, and the more he achieved the worse it got. Eventually he stopped trying to fix himself from the outside, left the program, flew to Myanmar, and ordained as a monk.He has spent the last decade teaching men to do what he did, without religion, dogma, or drugs. His show is Unhooked and his work is at https://unhookedacademy.com/We talk about where shame actually comes from, what happens to you around day four of a silent retreat, and whether moderation is possible with anything engineered to hook you. Late in the episode we get into whether there is anything behind all of this. He says no. I made my case anyway. Neither of us moved, and that exchange might be my favorite part of the conversation.

In this thought-provoking episode, Reagan Kramer sits down with Christa Black Singh for Part 2 of an honest conversation about spiritual warfare, healing, and Christ's relentless pursuit of those who have wandered. Drawing from her own journey out of the New Age, Christa shares how God used years of deception, brokenness, and ultimately redemption to reveal His love and transform her life. Together, they explore topics such as generational patterns, bloodlines, DNA, prayer, communion, the "second heaven," spiritual discernment, and why Christians must learn to hear God's voice with wisdom and biblical conviction. The conversation also offers hope for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, infertility, trauma, divorce, or prodigal loved ones. Christa explains how her parents' faithful prayers, fasting, and unwavering trust in God became part of her journey back to Christ, reminding listeners that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. Whether you're searching for deeper spiritual understanding or encouragement to keep believing for breakthrough, this episode is a powerful reminder that Jesus is always pursuing His children, bringing healing, redemption, and hope even in life's darkest seasons.

Sometimes the person standing in your way isn't someone else. It's the version of yourself that was created to survive. In this episode of the Power & Purpose Podcast, Vanessa Soul sits down with Steven Francisci—U.S. Navy Veteran, author, mental health advocate, and trauma awareness educator—to explore what it truly takes to heal from childhood conditioning, codependency, shame, religious deconstruction, and inherited identities. Steven shares the powerful story behind his memoir, From Ahole to Alright**, and explains how therapy, self-reflection, and conscious change transformed every area of his life. Together they discuss: • Why trauma creates protective identities • The Codependency Triangle (Victim • Rescuer • Persecutor) • How manipulation often disguises itself as love • Religious deconstruction and questioning inherited beliefs • Radical self-awareness without self-shame • Healing the inner critic • Journaling, art therapy, breathwork and shadow work • Letting go of certainty and learning to trust life • Returning to love as your true identity Whether you're beginning your healing journey or have been doing inner work for years, this conversation offers practical insights and profound perspective for becoming more fully yourself.

Ever been curious about psychedelics? If so, you're not alone. But consuming psychedelic plant medicines has always been taboo, even when it comes to healing modalities. Over the years, more research has shown that plant medicines, when taken with intention, can have a positive impact on one's psyche and healing journey. Katherine Petrullo is the founder of Lüminate and creator of Women of Impact. Her work weaves together Taoist philosophy, tantra, kundalini, and plant medicine. Before her success, she was a young woman quietly falling apart, cycling through rock bottoms, and reaching for anything external that might make her feel whole, a feeling she had never truly known. Katherine explains what finally shifted, including a plant medicine ceremony, and what she learned on the other side of it. Click 'play' to see if psychedelics might be your next (unexpected) healing modality.What You Will Learn[00:07:30] Childhood existential anxiety — and distorting her voice to feel safe[00:13:30] Why plant medicine wasn't the magic bullet she expected[00:17:00] Why not feeling safe to share kept her deeply isolated[00:30:30] What her first ayahuasca ceremony actually felt like — and the dark night of the soul that followed[00:36:00] What coming back into the body actually felt like[00:46:00] How the medicine wheel explains why so many people experience energy crashes and empty creation[00:53:30] What Women of Impact is — and what it's actually designed to do[01:01:00] Why healing isn't something you're always doing — it's a danceResources MentionedMany Lives, Many Masters by Brian WeissLet's Connect!Katherine PetrulloWebsite | InstagramChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramHappiness Academy is now Healing Heroines, a signature space for women who are ready to feel more grounded, more peaceful, and more aligned — inside and out. Download a complimentary Healing Roadmap to discover our Past, Present, and Possible framework.Want personalized guidance for your healing journey?

In this episode, we challenge one of the biggest misconceptions around plant medicine—that every ceremony needs to be profound and life-altering. Is that true? Yes… and no. As the saying goes, you don't get what you want, you get what you need. And what most people actually need isn't another peak experience—it's healing, growth, and tools they can apply in real life.My Website: The Unplugged HumanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Get a copy of The Unplugged JournalPodcast gear, Quotes from Mother, Pine pollen and tallow - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to plant medicine…And that misconception is: Thinking and believing that plant medicine is a “medicine”. Now I understand it is confusing because we call it plant medicine…and medicine is in the name. So the issue or misconception isn't necessarily with the name it is with our definition and expectation of the word. We have been led to believe that medicine is defined as something external that we take that immediately provides relief and heals or fixes our issues. We believe that it is something that makes us better. But the truth is that is not how medicine works at all, particularly plant medicine…My Website: The Unplugged HumanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Watch this episode on YoutubeGet a copy of The Unplugged JournalPodcast gear, Quotes from Mother, Pine pollen and tallow - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

Send Us a Message!Plant medicine is everywhere right now and so is the quiet confusion that follows it: Was that healing, or was it just a peak experience I'm chasing again? We sit down with clinical hypnotherapist Derek Ivey to talk honestly about addiction, recovery, and why “spiritual” substance use still carries real risks when the integration piece is missing.Derek shares his own journey through alcoholism, relapse, and the moment he knew he wouldn't survive if he kept going. From 12-step recovery to Buddhism, Reiki, and deeper consciousness work, we track how shame and suppression can drive the need to alter our state just to feel confident, playful, or connected. We also talk about the cultural normalization of uppers and downers, coffee to push through the day and alcohol to shut off at night, and what changes when we stop forcing our bodies into a schedule that doesn't fit.We go deep on psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine, including the neuroplasticity window and why it can either support new habits or amplify the inner critic if you return to old patterns. Derek offers a grounded alternative through transpersonal journey work and hypnotherapy: not “renting the view,” but building the window, learning how to access non-ordinary reality and nervous system regulation without needing a chemical shortcut.If you've been curious about psychedelics, navigating sobriety, or trying to heal without bypassing your real life, this conversation gives you language, nuance, and practical next steps.

Most people who say they've tried kava have tried a watered-down extract that feels like weak chamomile, then concluded the plant does nothing. Cameron George has spent years arguing that the real thing, whole-root and traditionally prepared, is one of the most misunderstood plant medicines on Earth. In this conversation Aubrey sits down with him for a full masterclass on what kava actually is, why the West got it so wrong, and how a South Pacific root that has anchored entire island civilizations for thousands of years might be the missing piece in the modern search for connection without self-betrayal.Kava occupies a strange category of its own. It relaxes without sedating, opens you emotionally without impairing you, and softens social armor without the crash, the fog, or the regret that follows alcohol. Cameron walks through the pharmacology behind that (the GABA upregulation, the dopaminergic support, the reverse-tolerance phenomenon where the plant becomes more effective with consistent use rather than less) and into the cultural story underneath it, including the poorly constructed studies from 1999 that nearly killed kava's reputation in the West right as it was set to break through. From there the conversation widens into nervous-system repair, the difference between borrowed relief and generative states, the role kava can play in psychedelic integration, and what it means to change your state without leaving yourself behind.Check out TRU KAVA and USE CODE AUBREY10 FOR 10% OFF►Website | https://trukava.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/trukava/This episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art |  ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠►Korrect Life | ⁠https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | ⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus►Facebook |⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/►X |⁠ https://x.com/aubreymarcus►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack► Love To The Seventh Power: ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►IHeartRadio |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking

Doyle Bramhall II - guitarist, healer, and longtime collaborator of Eric Clapton - joins Dr. Will Cole for his very first podcast appearance. Doyle shares the story of growing up immersed in the Austin music scene, the dark side of the flower power era, and the decades-long personal journey through plant medicine, breathwork, Reiki, and energy work that led to the healing practice he now facilitates. They cover the science of DMT (including why gorillas beat their chests), the dangers of plant medicine without proper integration, the mycelia-internet connection, and intergenerational trauma stored in the body's cells. Dr. Cole also shares what happened during his own three-hour session with Doyle - a psychedelic-level experience with no plant medicine. Plus: how Doyle met Eric Clapton over a cold call from Japan and a Starbucks in Venice.
