Martijn Schirp, a longtime Buddhist practitioner and founder of Upāyosis, shares his journey from co-founding Synthesis to creating a year-long training program that blends Buddhist practice with ecological ethics and psychedelics. He discusses the impact of COVID on Synthesis, the importance of spiritual renewal during his time in the Himalayas, and the concept of 'ego porousness' as a healthier alternative to 'ego death.' Martijn emphasizes that integrating interdependence and mindful psychedelic use is crucial for serving our planet in crisis.
