Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers Zen Master Genpo Roshi | Zen practice meets Western psychotherapy, enlightenment, and psychedelic awakenings
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking with Zen Master, Genpo Roshi. Roshi has been one of the pioneers of Zen throughout the U.S. and Europe. He’s known for his development of the Big Mind process, a method that combines Zen practice with Western psychological principles to facilitate personal transformation and insight. We discuss his early life experiences that set him on this path, the concepts of awakening and enlightenment, the nature of the mind, human being vs. doing, the judicious use of psychedelic tools, and the differences between Big Mind and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Roshi also takes Reid and me through a short practice that we found very helpful.
