The Universe Within Podcast

Hey everybody! Episode 32 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with Dennis McKenna. Dennis is one of the pioneers of plant medicine work and has been a bridge for shedding light and bringing plant-medicine wisdom to the public. He and his brother Terence McKenna, I think, are great ambassadors for this work at large. Dennis has been involved in research, writing, and teaching for decades and brings a wisdom and experience to all of his talks. It was a pleasure and honor to speak with him and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“Dennis McKenna’s professional and personal interests are focused on the interdisciplinary study of ethnopharmacology and natural hallucinogens. He received his doctorate in 1984 from the University of British Columbia, where his research focused on ethnopharmacological investigations of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two indigenous Amazonian psychedelic medicines. He completed post-doctoral studies at the Helicon Foundation in San Diego (1984-86), the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology at NIMH (1986-88) and the Department of Neurology at Stanford University (1988-1990). He worked at Shaman Pharmaceuticals as Director of Ethnopharmacology from 1990-93, and relocated to Minnesota in 1993 to join the Aveda Corporation as Senior Research Pharmacognosist.Dr. McKenna taught courses in Ethnopharmacology, Botanical Medicines and Plants in Human Affairs in the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota from 2001 to 2017. He is a founding board member of the Heffter Research Institute and serves on the advisory board of non-profit organizations in the fields of ethnobotany and botanical medicines. He was a key organizer and participant in the Hoasca Project, an international biomedical study of ayahuasca used as a sacrament by the UDV, a syncretic religious group in Brazil. He is the younger brother of Terence McKenna…”For Dennis’ full bio, visit: https://www.universewithinpodcast.com/podcast/dennis-mckennaTo learn more about Dennis and his work, vist: https://mckenna.academy/This episode of the show is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light.

Una nota: para ver las  notas del episodio en español,  visite mi sitio web a:  https://www.universewithinpodcast.com/podcast/imika-tariruHey everybody! Episode 31 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Imikā Tariru Bary Vera Kuary Baru. Imika comes from the Tubú nation in the Vaupes region of the Colombian Amazon, on the Apaporis river. I have worked with Imika over the last few years and I have a lot of respect for him and his teachings. He carries a deep wisdom that is born from a beautiful tradition. I think voices like his are important in sharing and keeping alive and helping to, as he says, build a new maloka (ceremonial house), bridging traditions from all directions of the world. I trust you all will gain a lot from listening to this talk. Thank you to my friend Claude (who I interviewed in ep10) for translating.

Always ready to listen, Imika teaches by example in action, sharing freely and always ready to keep learning in this dizziness of life. Imika is the founder of the TUBÚ HɄMMɄRIMASA Urban Council and the creator of the SUARY project. These projects serve as ways to reunite the community and to interweave and color the paths of life, sharing and exchanging from simplicity, and in respect for the differences between us in daily life. They offer an alternative way of relating and a way to break down the barriers that are used to separate and classify humans.“For Imika’s full bio: https://www.universewithinpodcast.com/podcast/imika-tariruImika’s website: https://www.suaryasociacion.com/?lang=enemail: bridgeweavers@gmail.comClaude’s FB page: https://www.facebook.com/bridgekeepersHouse of Dawn project:https://gogetfunding.com/casadelamanecer-suaryasociacionThis episode is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light: https://templeofthewayoflight.org/Share the show, Subscribe or Follow, leave comments, and go on Apple Podcasts and leave a starred-rating and a short review.

Hey everybody! Episode 30 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Brian James. Brian and I met working together at the Amazonian plant-medicine center the Temple of the Way of Light. Brian is a yoga teacher and plant-medicine practitioner. I always really enjoy talking to Brian as he has a real depth of knowledge of yoga from a perspective that not many people have. He does a wonderful job at explaining the roots of the yogic practice and also how he sees the interconnection between that path and the path of shamanism. For such broad and diverse subjects, he is able to beautifully explain them in simple ways and show the universality of all of these paths. I think you all will gain a lot from listening to this talk, much as I did. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“Brian James is a transformational coach, yoga teacher, musician and shamanic practitioner currently living Vancouver Island, Canada with his wife Debbie and their dog Kingston. A lifelong musician, artist, and curious seeker, Brian began exploring yoga and plant medicines over twenty-five years ago. After a crisis in his mid-thirties — burned out from his job in advertising and struggling with stress, anxiety and addiction — he began his own healing journey in earnest. He’s spent the last decade learning from master teachers and exploring in greater depth the medicine paths of yoga, music, shamanism and psychology. He shares conversations with some of the teachers he’s met on the Medicine Path Podcast and has written two books: Yoga & Plant Medicine, published in 2019, and Harmonic Movement, a vinyasa yoga practice manual.Since 2012, Brian has dedicated his life to sharing the healing power of yoga and music, and has taught around the world — from Shanghai, China to the heart of the Amazon jungle. He regularly teaches group classes and workshops and works 1-to-1 with individuals, helping them develop a personal practice and supporting them in recovering a sense of wholeness and freedom. “Learn more: brianjames.caTo view the Shamanic Yoga series Brian created and receive 15% off, use the link: https://vimeo.com/r/32Ww/LjJOdjROTHor go to http://vimeo.com/ondemand/shamanicyoga and enter code "UNIVERSE15" This episode of the show is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light.

Hey everybody! Episode 29 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Eduardo Carvalho. Eduardo and I met working together at the Amazonian plant-medicine center the Temple of the Way of Light. ‘Edu’ has a really interesting story and I’ve gotten to know him and seen him do really good work. He approaches this work through his own journey of healing and knowledge and brings that depth to his work. He is a very talented musician and a genuinely nice guy with a big heart and desire to share and help. I have a lot of respect for Edu and I hope his sharing inspires and teaches. If you're in Europe or Portugal and looking for ceremonies, you'd be in good hands with Edu. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“Eduardo Carvalho is a musician with 23 years of experience.Four years ago he started his spiritual adventure with sacred medicine plants. The work started by going through his own process of healing by doing ceremonies in the Netherlands and dieting in Peru. On this journey it was clear that his music skill and vibration would become his new life path. At that time he was invited to tour Europe and Peru doing ceremonies with a ‘Mestizo’ shaman. After an extensive process of retreats, the time came to part ways with his shaman and then he embarked on a self-healing journey with Shipibo lineage shamans doing dietas in Peru with different curanderos.Early this year he took a ‘curandero initiation course’ by the Ayahuasca Foundation at the Inkan Kena plant medicine school in Iquitos dieting master plants and learning all of what entails leading an ayahuasca ceremony. The personal approach to the work can be varied between icaros from different lineages, plus the medicine songs and several different types of instruments and frequencies.All done with love and care..”To contact Eduardo about his work and/or ceremonies, visit his FB page at: https://www.facebook.com/Dub.Action/ or email at: edubaction1982@gmail.comand also his YouTube page at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbRsTY5O2-Zhj3y3DgJNs4wThe song Edu sang was by Artur Mena.

Hey everybody! Episode 28 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend and colleague Merav Artzi. I have known and worked with Merav for a number of years. We did the same plant-medicine initiation and training, working with tobacco and tree diets. Merav is a great wealth of knowledge and has a depth of experience working with plant medicines. She runs ceremonies and dietas in the tobacco tradition in which she was trained. I have a lot of respect for Merav and her work. It’s one of the main reasons I decided to join forces with her and offer plant dietas together with her, joining our knowledge and offering the benefits of working with a man and woman. I think you all will get a lot out of this podcast. It’s a chance to learn about her and also more about tobacco, a very powerful and sacred plant that isn’t so well known. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“At an early age, I left my home country of Israel to study fine arts in Europe. In 2009, while traveling in South America, I decided to go to the Amazon. The work with Ayahuasca was a gate to the magical world of medicinal plants. The Amazon is truly the pharmacy of planet Earth. I have been working for eight years as a healer trained with Amazonian plants, specializing in Tobacco. Beforehand, I apprenticed with Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres in Iquitos. As a healer, I work with patients suffering from hormonal imbalance, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and more. In addition, I give Master Plant diets and teach students who are interested in learning how to heal with Tobacco.Tobacco is the medicine of my heart and I am here to share this medicine with the world. I invite you, with lots of love, to read about Tobacco, Plant Diets, and to take part in upcoming events.”For more information on Merav and her work, visit her website at: https://tobaccodiets.com/And also for more information about working with Merav and Jason on upcoming plant dietas, visit Merav’s site above or also at: https://www.NicotianaRustica.org This episode of the show is sponsored by the Temple of the Way of Light.

Hey everybody! Episode 27 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke Tatayo. I have known about Tatayo for a number of years as we share mutual friends and he comes from the same tradition that I worked with iboga with. He was called to Gabon and to iboga over forty years ago where he has been living and working ever since. It was an honor to talk to someone with so much experience working with such a powerful plant and a pleasure to hear him speak about his life, iboga, and his experiences and thoughts on Gabon and life. We spoke for almost three hours and it was a fascinating conversation and one of my favorites. I hope and think you all will get a lot out of this conversation. And a big thanks to Debbie Rivet for helping to organize and make this interview happen. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!“Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first came to Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen and settled in Libreville. He was the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon in 1979 and was later initiated into the Misokko traditions in 1994. Some would say that Tatayo has since “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon, and has served as a guide for numerous expeditions and missions including National Geographic, the BBC, and many others. He co-founded his first Gabonese NGO in 1981, which has since lead to the creation of Ebando in 1999 and is recognized as a healer and a Nima, someone who has freed and detached himself. Having initiated more than 350 banzis (initiates), he has supported hundreds of local people, or, he has indirectly supported thousands of local people, leaving a substantial positive footprint along the way.”For more information on Tatayo and his work, visit his website at: http://ebando.org/Also, Tatayo is offering online consultations and guidance for those interested in working with the Sacred Wood in Gabon. Contact him at: ibogabon@gmail.comAnd if you’d like to know more about the different branches of the tradition, you can sign up for Ebando’s recent webinar called Bwiti: School of Life.

Hey everybody! Episode 24 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Chase Moore. Chase and I met in the Sacred Valley where he teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu and runs ceremonies with Huachuma or San Pedro. Chase has a really interesting story and it was a pleasure speaking with him. We got into talking about plant medicine, martial arts, and life in general. I have a lot of respect for anyone who completes their black belt in jiu-jitsu and I think Chase embodies a lot of those principles such as humility, integrity, gentleness, and compassion. For me, martial arts and plant medicine are wonderful complements so it was great to speak with someone who has a depth of knowledge of both. I think you all will get a lot out of this episode.
