I have a multi-guest interview for you to kick off the 18th year of The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast: Laurel Younis, Darron Smith, and Jenna Kluwe join me for an in-depth conversation about the psilocybin facilitator training program at Emerald Valley Institute in Eugene, Or. With the first legal psilocybin assisted services program in the country, Oregon is a model for how it can be done elsewhere in the U.S. As a legal psychedelic program, it's not without it's challenges, but you gotta start somewhere! This is one of those interviews that's exciting for me to share with you as it's a clear indication of how far things have come since I started this podcast waaaay back in 2008! Learn more about the program at Emerald Valley Institute

Also, if you'd like more info about the new 5-MeO-DMT Integration training program I'm offering via Mindscape Institute link through here or via Nondual Entheogenic Integration

My guest, Julio Rivera, offers super-heroic mushroom retreats in Jamaica for advanced practitioners which combines Jungian psychology with Tibetan Buddhist energetic parasite extraction. Sound exotic? Well, listen in to learn more! If it sounds like something you'd like to participate in, you can find more info about Julio and his offering at www.shape-my.life. We also discuss Julio's anonymous publication of the Ayahuasca Manifesto.

My guest this week is new author, Wade Richardson, whose book, The Psychedelic Mindmeld is being released this month. Wade's book address the phenomenon of psychic and energetic cross-over when normal egoic boundaries are suspended or dissolved. Our conversation covers examples, practices, and methods for getting into these profound states. Obviously, this is not work for beginners and is best suited for couples and those who are consciously agreeing to work within nondual energetics where divides between self and other are transcended where informed consent is paramount. Learn all about it here!

This week's episode features a group conversation with Dr Zinn, Dan, and Michelle, the three of whom are exploring facilitating the 5-MeO-DMT experience via sub-cutaneous injections. This is a very different modality than the more common vaporization with 5-MeO-DMT and allows for a slower come-up, longer duration during the peak, and a more gradual come-down. Learn all about it here in this four-way conversation. Note: this method of delivery is only accessible through pure molecule 5-MeO and is not an option when working with toad secretions.

Shaun Ryan was my fellow panelist at Psychedelic Awakening 2024 in Los Angeles last month and is an ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT facilitator. Since we shared the stage together, I thought it would be fruitful to invite him onto the podcast so I could get to know him better and also bring you another great conversation, so that's what happened. Shaun shares his personal healing and transformation journey with psychedelic medicines, his ayahuasca apprenticeship, and his work with 5-MeO-DMT. You can learn more about Shaun and his offerings via his website, Divine Guidance

Nyx returns to the podcast this week to discuss her new book, The Dawn of the Astrorganism: Aligning Humanity, AI, and the Earth's Future. I'll let our conversation unpack all of that. You can learn more at her website, Astrorganism.earth

Put your thinking caps on and relax into your float tank or sensory deprivation chamber for a lively conversation with philosopher, Randolph Dible. You can learn more about Randy's work and interest in float tanks and the phenomenology of consciousness and nonduality (The Ball of the All, or the Universal Ontology of the Infinite Sphere) at his website, RandolphDible.com

While smoking DMT at a gathering of friends, Charles Patti made contact with something more, and his life was changed. This is his story of how he healed with DMT, got into Ketamine therapy, opened a clinic in Florida, developed a podcast, created a non-profit for veteran access to psychedelic healing, his experience with psychedelic parenting, and more. So many interesting topics, all in one episode! Find out more about Charles and his projects with these links: Clinic, DMTx, Warriors of Consciousness

Production note: there were some occasional transmission hiccups on Charles' side of the conversation. I've tried to edit them as best I could, but expect a few places where the audio gets a little glitchy.
