Ten Laws with East Forest

Brad had a transformative shift that occurred with plant medicine that has led him along an incredible, challenging, and yet rewarding path. He says he has learned to live more authentically, and that his experience with plant medicine provided the opportunity for him to also accept his identity as a gay man, something he says he knew for as long as he could remember but buried deeply. For him, to live more authentically, he decided to come out. His life has changed dramatically since.  He sold his company, together with my wife concluded his 25-year marriage, and he established Reunion as a not-for-profit plant medicine retreat center in Costa Rica.  East Forest and Brad chat about the recent East Forest Ceremony Retreat.LEARN MORE ABOUT REUNION:https://www.reunionexperience.org/ _______________________________________________________NEW ALBUM OUT NOW - "Music For The Deck of the Titanic - Deluxe Edition" - LISTEN / BUYhttps://eastforest.orgUPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsMarch 20-24 - Treefort Music Fest / Yogafort, Boise, IDApr 4-7 - Summit at Sea, International WatersJune 18-July 1 - Esalen Institute Retreat, Big Sur CA PATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. COMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleMEDITATIONS by East Forest on Spotify & AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeConnect with the Forest - Mothership: http://eastforest.orgIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic

At Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Katherine MacLean conducted legal clinical trials of psilocybin.  She was a lead researcher and session guide on the first study to test the combined effects of high-dose psilocybin, daily meditation training and integration support. Her research on meditation and psilocybin indicates that these practices can promote positive and lasting changes in concentration, emotion regulation, openness, well-being, and prosocial traits.Check out her new Book! - https://www.myvermontbookstore.com/book/9798986532479_______________________________________________NEW ALBUM OUT NOW! - "Music For The Deck of the Titanic" - LISTEN / BUYUPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsNov 7 - Los Angeles, CA w/Marieme!Dec 15-18 - Esalen Institute, CAFeb 4-10 - Ceremony Retreat at Reunion, Costa RicaPATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. COMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleMEDITATIONS by East Forest on Spotify & AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeConnect with the Forest - Mothership: http://eastforest.orgIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic

I'm very proud to share my complete new studio album, "Music For The Deck of the Titanic" with you today.  The process of dreaming up, writing, experimenting, writing more ... and more, mixing, mastering, and then finally sharing the music with you — it has been a journey.  Listen here: https://ffm.to/MFTDOTTMusic is my tether to the unseen, to the numinous, and I use it to cultivate a feeling of connection to the things that are bigger than the 'story of me.'  I hope this new album takes you to places of remembrance, understanding, and solace.I'm so grateful for the collaborators and musicians who joined me.  My deepest thanks to Marieme (vocals), ANNA (production, synth/beats), Duncan Trussell (voice), Jens Kuross (drums), Owen Hofmann-Smith (bass, cello), Steven Comeau (Atmos), Huntley Miller (mastering), Radha (muse!), Tyler and Vivek, Bright Antenna (label), and everyone else on my team.  If you enjoy this musical journey, please let us and your friends know — tag us on socials or drop us a line.  Grab a first edition vinyl or one of our new Titanic merch items, and get a ticket for a live event (Seattle tonight 11/3! and LA Tues 11/7).Thank you for being on this journey with me.  We continue to walk our walk, opening our hearts, together.
