She speaks with deep reverence about iboga as a master plant teacher, describing how years of preparation through transformational NLP, family constellation work, somatic therapy, and energy work shaped the depth of her experience. Beth reflects on the themes of masculine healing, ancestral purging, inner child integration, and epigenetic clearing that moved through her ceremonies, and shares why she believes preparation and integration are everything with this medicine.  Beth also touches on the physical destabilization that followed, the profound purge she experienced, and why she is now considering offering pay-what-you-wish preparation sessions for others called to work with iboga. Episode Highlights: ▶ Why Beth waited 12 years before saying yes to iboga  ▶ How deep preparation shaped the depth of her experience  ▶ What sets iboga apart from other plant medicines she has worked with  ▶ Prayer, intention, and what the medicine chose to work with  ▶ Healing the masculine and surfacing deep unconscious patterns  ▶ Inner child integration brought to a whole new level  ▶ The purge: ancestral, epigenetic, and beyond words  ▶ Dreams repeating for two years that came to fruition in ceremony  ▶ Physical effects and bringing presence to parts of the body that were offline  ▶ Why discernment and proper medical intake matter with this medicine  ▶ Her plan to offer preparation sessions for those called to iboga Themes Prayer and right relationship with Iboga and other sacred plant medicines Timing, readiness, and discernment Integration as an actual lifestyle (not just an integration circle) When fear is a doorway in The way spirit weaves in your life LONG before the ceremony Truth vs. bypassing Mentions + Modalities referenced ▶ Iboga experience and insights ▶ Preparation and integration in plant medicine ▶ The sacred relationship with master plant teachers A note on Iboga safety + discernment Iboga is not to be taken lightly. Making this decision was not a casual path. Beth speaks to the importance of being held by skilled facilitators, proper screening, and not rushing toward a “quick fix.” If you're feeling called, let your prayer deepen, let guidance ripen, and choose safety and integrity over urgency.

In this episode of The Dream World Podcast, I'm joined by author and researcher David J. Brown and artist and futurist Sara Phinn Huntley to explore the fascinating world of DMT entities.We dive into their collaborative book, The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities, and discuss the recurring beings reported across psychedelic journeys, lucid dreams, meditation, and other altered states of consciousness. From machine elves and mantis beings to mythological archetypes, this conversation explores the overlap between science, spirituality, and subjective experience.Together, we discuss:What DMT is and why it's called “the spirit molecule”Common entities reported across DMT experiencesThe famous “machine elves” and mantis beingsParallels between DMT, lucid dreaming, and meditationWhether these entities exist independently of the mindHarm reduction and responsible explorationUsing dreams as a natural gateway to altered statesThe intersection of art, technology, and psychedelic researchDavid and Sara also share how they cataloged hundreds of reports from research, folklore, and personal experiences to create a visual “field guide” to non-human intelligences encountered in altered states. This episode explores one of the biggest questions in consciousness research:Are these beings psychological archetypes — or something more?

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff, Henson Services, & Maurer Wrecker Service   LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this episode of Dropping Bombs, entrepreneur and volunteer firefighter Patrick Henson shares his journey from burnout to building a growing blue-collar empire.   Patrick opens up about hitting rock bottom while working 100-hour weeks, drinking to cope, and reaching a point where he thought everyone would be better off without him. Then a random clip from Shawn Ryan's podcast changed everything. It led him to a five-day ibogaine and DMT experience in Mexico that reset his mind, killed his ego, and gave him a level of gratitude he never knew was possible.   He breaks down what it's actually like to experience "death" on DMT and the profound gratitude he now feels daily. Plus, how he went from being a prisoner in his own business to acquiring multiple companies and scaling the right way.   If you've ever felt like something in your life needed to change, this episode will light a fire under you.

Psychedelics are having a cultural moment. Research is promising. Stories of healing are everywhere. But here's the truth: these experiences aren't magic cures. And they aren't right for every nervous system at every time.   In this episode, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace slow the conversation down. Instead of asking, "Do psychedelics heal trauma?" They explore a more grounded question: What becomes possible when psychedelic or peak somatic experiences are approached through the lens of nervous system safety, preparation, and integration?   If you've been curious about psychedelics, already had experiences, or feel unsure whether they're right for you, this episode offers nuance, research, and deep nervous system perspective. Because post-traumatic growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming more available to the life that's already waiting for you.   Topic Covered Why psychedelics may reorganize meaning, not just reduce symptoms How trauma fragments narrative and how safety allows integration The science of psychological flexibility and why it predicts long-term outcomes What "somatic journeying" is and why it can feel disorienting The importance of preparation, titration, and facilitator trust Why intensity does not equal healing Psychedelics vs antidepressants in research on connectedness Default Mode Network (DMN), identity rigidity, and belief updating Why creativity often emerges when survival softens The risks of over-reliance and "chasing the medicine" Why discernment and self-trust matter more than hype   Chapters  00:00 – Psychedelics Aren't Magic Cures

Paige Lowenstein was on the path to becoming a Rabbi in the traditional way. The well respected Reform seminary. Two years in she had a psychedelic experience on psilocybin mushrooms. That changed everything. She packed up and moved to the majestic redwood forests of northern California and finished her Rabbinic studies with Jewish Renewal's Aleph Ordination Program. Question is, now that your mind has been blown, what's next?

As we kick off 2026, we're exploring the power of setting intentions, and why they're essential for any transformative journey. By providing a focal point, a clear intention helps you sort through the noise to find the insights most relevant to your growth. It also serves as an emotional "home" to return to, ensuring that you're actively navigating your subconscious, and not just drifting.Key TakeawaysFocus on the "Why" over the "What": An intention isn't a rigid destination or a list of goals; it's the emotional fuel behind your journey. By honing in on your "why,” you create a sturdy foundation for challenging experiences.Practice Distillation for Clarity: Boil your intentions down to one or two core themes or a single word, making it easier to recall and use as a grounding tool during an altered state of consciousness.Bridge the Gap with Emotional Targets: True healing is felt in the body, not just in the mind. To ensure your intentions are actionable, identify your specific "emotional markers" of success so you can recognize when you're moving toward your purpose.-We're proud to partner with North Spore as a sponsor and an educational ally.

Psychedelic Experiences and Their MeaningsGrant and his co-author and assistant Desta Barnabe discussed their experiences with psychedelics, particularly psilocybin and DMT. Grant shared his high-dose psilocybin experiences, which he used as a form of education to learn lessons about compassion and gratitude. They explored the phenomenon of encountering beings during DMT experiences, with Desta noting the intriguing concept of "machine elves" and the similarity of reported alien abductions to actual abduction experiences. The conversation raised questions about the nature of these experiences, whether the beings are real or reflections of the user's mind, and the potential lessons or messages they convey.

This week, Vee and Elle sit down with journalist and sexual freedom philosopher Nicolle Double L to explore the intersection of BDSM, psychedelics, and sexuality as tools for self-discovery and healing. The conversation dives into cervical orgasms, DMT release, altered states, and how sex can mirror a psychedelic journey, especially when paired with presence and aftercare. The discussion delves into the neurochemistry of orgasms, the therapeutic aspects of BDSM, and the significance of set and setting in both sexual and psychedelic experiences.Chapters: Introduction and Connection To Writing, Shame, and BDSM (00:00)The Role of MDMA and Psychedlics in Healing (13:49)Does MDMA Ruin Sober Sex?

When defining psychedelic experiences, it's more accurate to view them as a dynamic spectrum rather than a rigid choice between recreational and therapeutic use. Experiences can possess qualities of both, and their nature is shaped by factors like intent, setting, and support.In today's episode, we talk about why it's important to define your psychedelic experiences and the labels we use for them. We'll break down the difference between using psychedelics for fun (recreational) versus using them to heal (therapeutic), and what usually goes along with each type of experience. We'll also give you key items to think about when you're defining your own journey. Plus, we'll introduce a new framework for describing your experience. To wrap things up, we'll share some good advice for anyone on a psychedelic journey and read a story from someone who participated in one of our programs.No mushroom source? No problem.

Can dreaming help us integrate psychedelic experiences? How dreams and visions can both take us to the boundaries of consciousness. Today's guest Adam Miezio talks about how dreams and psychedelics both access the unconscious and that taking powerful psychedelics can be like tilling the soil of consciousness. He describes what he calls divine influx or a cosmic download in which we have insights that seem to be from outside of ourselves and about the pros and cons of setting intentions. Also the hypnagogic state, mysticism, and the collective unconscious. After the break, we take a question from Max about the difference between the subconscious and the unconscious, and we talk about John Lilly who used LSD to communicate with dolphins in the 1970s and developed sensory isolation tanks. We end with Katherine sharing some of her experiences of being high in dreams and Adam recommends the movie Waking Life. Global Psychedelic Week will be an online conference November 3-9. BIO: Adam Miezio is a writer in the psychedelics field, thanks to lifelong psychedelic journeying and plant medicine work. Born in Chicago, he received his master's degree from Northeastern Illinois University.. He writes about mental health, psychedelics, psychology, shamanism, and fringe ideas on the fuzzy periphery of consciousness. He resides in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Sara Ness discusses how "circling" and authentic relating games can induce psychedelic-like states without substances. She explains how these interpersonal meditation practices create altered consciousness, shared flow states, and neuroplasticity similar to psychedelics; and how slowing down to be truly present with others can transform perception and create profound group experiences. ...

Watch on Substackhttps://open.substack.com/pub/rupertsheldrake/p/psychedelic-experiences-what-insightsThis is a talk I gave recently to the Drug Science and Bioscience Societies at the University of York.I first became interested in psychedelics when I was at school in the 1950s and a young doctor friend was involved in some of the early research on the effects of LSD. When I was 17, before going to Cambridge, I worked in a pharmacology research lab on the effects of LSD and mescaline on chicks. However, it was not until 1970, when I was 28, that I experienced the mind-opening effects of LSD for myself.In the 1980s, I became friends with Terence McKenna, an expert on the shamanic use of psychedelics, and Ralph Abraham, a chaos mathematician at the University of California, Santa Cruz. We had many discussions about the effects of these substances, including their influence on the growth of computer graphics. I also attended a series of conferences on psychedelics at the Esalen Institute in California and have been in continual contact with recent researchers on the subject.In this talk, I discuss the nature of psychedelic visions, their possible relationship to dreams and near-death experiences, and the ‘entities' that many people encounter through them, including machine elves and angels. I look at the cultural history of their use, the emergence of new psychedelic religions such as Santo Daime in Brazil, and suggest that the current psychedelic renaissance is part of a major cultural shift—away from materialism towards a more interconnected worldview.

Till Holzafpel is an engineer, programmer, consciousness researcher, and hardware psychonaut who designs virtual reality systems that can evoke the transcendent components of psychedelics… without requiring the consumption any substances. Much of his work is based on fact that there appears to be a massive component of psychedelic experiences that comes from sensory feedback, like sounds, patterns in the visual field, and the tactile components of the environment. Even something as simple as a flashing light can induce mystical experiences in a significant fraction of the population, and plenty of research suggests that there's a visual component to the healing properties of nature. As Till works on fitting those discoveries into an entirely new class of VR programs, we sat down for a conversation about how our sensory systems can be treated and tweaked to induce altered states of consciousness, the value of making this kind of experience widely accessible, and the shortcomings of a purely biochemical approach to understanding the impact of psychedelics on the human psyche. The video also includes a demo of Brain Candy, his augmented reality program for exploring consciousness through audio-visual patterns (https://braincandyapp.com/).

While Truth Fairy is away, Dr. T hosts this episode solo, welcoming Scott Hill, author of “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, who completed his PhD with a dissertation titled ‘Building a Jungian Framework for Understanding Psychedelic Induced Psychotic States' at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dr. Hill shares his early transformative encounters with LSD in 1967, which, though initially ecstatic, devolved into psychologically traumatic events. These experiences led him on a lifelong journey of self-exploration, academic inquiry, and healing.  Scott shares his journey very openly with Dr. T and they discuss how Scott's return to academia in Cailfornia, studying under Stan Grof and Ralph Metzner, deepened his understanding of his own experiences. They examine how Jung's concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes reflect in intense psychedelic states. Scott details how key reading, Holotropic Breathwork, a medicine circle. and an MDMA-assisted therapy session at Burning Man, and MDMA-assisted therapy all helped heal his ongoing flashbacks.  Dr. T and Scott Hill share a deep and revelatory conversation, at the end of which Scott expresses gratitude for the path he was forced onto in spite of how painfully it began. He describes writing and academic research as transformative tools and identifies scholarship as a spiritual practice in its own right. “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, Dr. Hill's book, is now foundational in psychedelic psychotherapy circles, and his insights are key to understanding much about psychedelic psychology. “As I read about the myths of Gilgamesh, Inanna,, Job and Christ, I was struck by the resonance between passages in those myths and my difficult psychedelic experiences. Given the Jungian view that myths are expressions of the archetypal unconscious, and given the resonance I experienced reading those myths, I started to wonder whether my terrifying trips, and perhaps those of others, might be understood, in Jung's words, as experiences of an archetypal nature.” - Scott Hill About Scott Hill:Scott J. Hill, Ph.D., lives in Sweden, where he conducts scholarly research on the intersection between psychedelic studies and Jungian psychology. He holds degrees in psychology from the University of Minnesota and in philosophy and religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies.Book: “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience” by Scott J.

Some call it the "psychedelic renaissance." In the last decade or so, interest in psychedelic drugs has surged—and not just among Silicon Valley types and psychiatrists and neuroscientists. It's also surged among a stereotypically soberer crowd: academic philosophers. The reasons are clear. With their varied and sometimes transformative effects, psychedelics raise ethical questions, epistemological questions, metaphysical questions, questions about the nature of experience and the nature of the mind. My guest today is Dr. Chris Letheby. Chris is a philosopher of cognitive science at the University of Western Australia and the author of the 2021 book, Philosophy of Psychedelics. Here, Chris and I talk about the so-called classic psychedelics—LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and others—and how interest in them has gone through three distinct waves. We discuss the effects that these substances seem to have, in particular their capacity to treat certain psychiatric conditions and their tendency to induce "mystical-like" experiences. We consider the idea that psychedelics might serve as agents of moral enhancement. And we dig into the psychological and neural mechanisms by which psychedelics seem to have their diverse—and often salutary—effects. Along the way, we talk about ontological shock, comforting delusions, brain plasticity, unselfing, microdosing, placebo effects and adverse effects, physicalism and idealism, the REBUS model, environmental virtues, plant consciousness, meditation, and much more. Maybe this is obvious but this episode is not just for the seasoned psychonauts out there. Whatever your personal experience with these substances, they offer a distinctive window into the mind—a new way of grappling with big questions. Perhaps this much is also obvious but we're not encouraging or endorsing the use of psychedelics here—just offering a little fuel for your intellectual fires!

Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

One of the main reasons I started this podcast was to showcase the stories, experiences & impact these medicines have made upon people's lives. That being said, I still get goosebumps when I hear those stories as they remind me of the immense power that not only these medicines hold within them, but that we also hold within us. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, one of my dear brothers in the world & someone who is one of the best story tellers I have ever met & in todays episode, we dive deep into a recent journey he had utilizing the trifecta of MDMA, psilocybin & intramuscular ketamine. As you'll hear, he recently attended a brand new center called the Awaken center that has opened up in Austin that has incredible staff on hand, medical teams, etc. & to say his journey was profound would be an understatement, but I'll save the details as a surprise for you to uncover as you tune in. Purchase Adam's products & receive a 15% discount by using code “SPRAGUE15” at checkout at the link below

In this powerful episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I reconnect with the Mind Architect and my brother from another Mother Peter Crone, whose profound work in human potential and freedom has helped thousands worldwide. Together, we shine a light on the illusions that keep us stuck — from subconscious limiting beliefs to societal conditioning — and how we can truly break free in order to ignite our full potential. Peter shares profound insights on the power of perspective and identity, explaining how our conditioned narratives shape our reality and why shifting them is the key to transformation. He likens personal growth to alchemy — where the old self must transform — like fire refining metal, creating something precious and infinitely more valuable.   We also dive into fear, resistance, and disease, examining how unprocessed emotions manifest in the body and why true healing begins with awareness. A core theme of our conversation is the death of the ego — how letting go of outdated identities and stories leads to huge growth and transformation. We also explore the masculine and the feminine, highlighting the dysfunctional cycles that keep us disconnected, and how stepping into authentic masculine leadership and feminine empowerment can restore balance both individually, and for society as a whole. I also open up about my recent BUFO experience, which facilitated a deep remembering of who we really are and what life is all about. If you're ready to shift your perspective, heal deeply, step into true liberation, and find out if Peter is single or not, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.
