The Entheogenic Evolution
Martin W. Ball
Welcome to the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast, hosted by author Martin W. Ball, Ph.D. This podcast is dedicated to the discussion of the nondual and unitary nature of being as revealed by conscious entheogenic energetic awakening as well as hosting long-form conversations on diverse and broad topics in psychedelics, therapy, philosophy, science, and culture. Featuring interviews, lectures, and conversations with leading figures in psychedelic research and culture as well as those who are new to the space and just starting to articulate their public voice, this podcast is a pioneering source of diverse information and perspectives. The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast is one of the longest running podcasts on psychedelics, having been first established in 2008, and has been a leading source of information about 5-MeO-DMT since its inception. Given the long history of the podcast, guests and topics serve as indicators of where psychedelic culture is changing and growing as psychedelics become more accepted in the mainstream. In addition to interviews and talks, host, Martin Ball, also shares selections from his many audiobooks, recordings from events and conferences he's organized, and shares his own original music at the conclusion of each episode and his original art for cover images. You can support this podcast by joining up as a contributing member at Patreon.com/martinwball. Martin is also available for individual consultations, mentorship, and integration work for clients in need of reflection and support. His original books are available in paperback, ebook, and audiobooks, and focus on nonduality and 5-MeO-DMT.

Episode 267: 5-MeO-DMT and the Creativity Incubator with Caps
My guest this week is "Caps," a 5-MeO facilitator in the American Midwest, who shares his unique approach to inspiring creativity with low-dose 5-MeO-DMT experiences (but significantly, only AFTER a full-release dose!), how he got into serving. We also get into his interest in long-distance endurance running, the topic of suffering during psychedelic experiences, and what brought him into first experiencing personally and then facilitating 5-MeO. It's a long one, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Episode 257: Integration in Real Time
The other month I was contacted by a person looking to make use of my nondual entheogenic integration services with a twist - he proposed that we record the integration call and make it available as a podcast episode. So, that's exactly what we've done. As an additional bonus, we've got a surprise twist for you at the end of our conversation ;). If you'd like to set up a consultation for yourself, check out www.nondualentheogenicintegration.com for more info.
