Ep. 9: Alternative Contexts: Retreats, Religion and more with Eric Osborne

In this episode Brian and Nate interview Eric Osborne. Eric is a Kentucky native and cofounder of Psanctuary, a 508(c)(1)(A) faith-based organization, which is a constitutionally protected church utilizing psilocybin containing mushrooms as a sacrament. Additionally, he is the founder of Mycomeditations, a group based psychedelic retreat center in Jamaica.

Eric has a unique and very interesting perspective, as one with a front row seat for the developing "psychedelic renaissance" while also remaining outside the dominant therapeutic/medical/research institutions.

In this conversation we cover a range of topics, from the importance of group work, popular misunderstandings regarding the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, religious contexts and much more.
