Genuine
This is my favorite psychedelic podcast by far. The integrity and authenticity with which they approach their podcast topics and offerings is heartening. In the ongoing proliferation of podcasts on this topic, theirs is the most educational, practical and expanding. There is no one “right” way, it is a very individualized experience, and they never claim to be authorities (on something which no such assertion can be truly made) and are open and curious, and openly share their wealth of experience and knowledge in a sensitive and compassionate manner. They’ve been integral to my personal journeys. Thank you for this important work!
A lot of sorting
There are some good nuggets of wisdom and knowledge here but I wish these guys had an editor - or that they tightened up their language and storytelling. A 30 minute episode could easily be ten minutes without all the irrelevant content and repetition. Also there’s so much (increasingly) promotion of their company and it gets old.
Insightful
I had watched a Netflix program on psychedelics which sparked my curiosity, but I was also very wary about it. This episode was incredibly informative and insightful about the benefits, but also realistic about the personal commitment one needs to make to for this treatment option to have a lasting positive effect.
