This week I'm joined by author, artist, musician, and scientist/philosopher, Bruce Rimell, discussing his fascinating book about visionary beings, They Shimmer Within, and why they're not objectively "real". We have a long and wide-ranging conversation about Salvia Divinorum, the nature of visionary beings, evolutionary cognitive psychology, the nature of the mind, and also art and music. 

My guest is microdosing coach, speaker, and relatively new host of "The Psychedelic Leadership" podcast, Laura Dawn. We share a wide-ranging interview, starting with getting to know Laura and her entry into the world of psychedelics, including how she gave up a potential run at the Olympics to pursue the psychedelic path, backlash she's endured from being a white woman drinking ayahausca, podcasting, and the goal of inspiring Psychedelic Leadership.

This week I'm joined by lawyer and author, George Lake, to discuss the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and how it applies to religious protection for Entheogenic Churches in the United States

My guest is Forbes Magazine writer and author, David Carpenter. We discuss how he got into writing about the fast-changing world of psychedelics, cannabis, MDMA, 5-MeO-DMT, and his ongoing book series about psychedelics that starts with "Your Neighbors are Doing Psychedelics: MDMA" - you can find David's work online at Forbes.com and at www.yourneighborsaredoingpsychedelics.com 

I'm joined by Toad, Retreat, and Breathwork facilitator, Ben Holt, for a wide-ranging discussion about how he got into what he does, working with toad, music, film, and more. It's a long one, so settle in and enjoy. You can find out more about Ben and his work at www.connectandevolve.com
