    Daniel Shankin | What's so hard about Psychedelic Integration?

    Daniel Shankin of Tam Integration stops by the Nod and we have a blast! Daniel 'Sitaram Das' Shankin is the founder of Mt. Tam Psychedelic Integration, an organization serving individuals who are exploring their consciousness for transformational evolution within a supportive community. He offers one of one integration coaching, and his clients describe his work as as profound yet casual, both humorous and reverent. After a deep and intense awakening experience in 1998, Daniel dove deep into his yoga and meditation practice to stabilize his realization in his body and the world. He began teaching in 2002, and took over leadership of his neighborhood yoga studio in 2004. As a yoga and meditation teacher for over 20 years, Daniel has dedicated his life to the cultivation of clarity, resilience, and heart. He uses tools from a wide variety of traditions to help his clients to develop powerful personal practices for psychedelic preparation and integration. You can visit him at www.tamintegration.com.

    Izzy Fontaine | Music, Memes & Meaning

    Super stoked to share this amazing conversation with musician, producer and instagram meme lord Izzy Fontaine with you all! Izzy and I crossed paths many years ago when he was playing for a band called Happy Body Slow Brain and then later when he was playing with Taking Back Sunday. He is a self taught genius of a musician who has spent a ton of time learning how to interface with computers as a means of performance and composition. A few years back he moved to LA and fully transitioned out of being in his own bands and into being more of a gun for hire player when he landed a gig as Seal's music director/backing band. Since then he's gone on to work as a player, producer or music director with an eclectic group of artists ranging from Banks, Harry Hudson, Sam Sparro, The Night Game, Glass Jaw and others. I love talking with people like Izzy because he is a perfect example of someone making their own rules and blazing their own path.  We talk about shifting from a life on the road to being more studio bound, focusing on technology and how to interact with it creatively, memes and humor as a means of connection, healing trauma through therapy and self reflection, psychedelic experiences and more. There is a full hour long secret episode with Izzy on our Patreon!  Join Now To Support The Pod and get a ton of extra stuff Follow Izzy On Instagram Follow Izzy On Twitter A Spotify Playlist of Tracks Izzy has been a part of  Izzy On Splice Donate To The Show  Would you please take a minute to give the show a rating and review on apple podcasts?

    Greg & Dana Newkirk ( Of Hellier ) | Going Weird Full-Time

    Greg and Dana Newkirk (Hellier, Planet Weird, The Traveling Museum of the Paranormal & Occult) come get strange with me on the Nod. (Recorded In January ) Knowing my penchant for the mystical, synchronistic and highly strange, my friend Chad Hall recommended that I watch the Paranormal docuseries Hellier in late 2019.  (available for free on youtube and amazon prime video)  This is how I came to Greg & Dana's work and within 1 episode of the show that I knew I wanted to talk to them. What begins as an earnest effort to investigate a strange man's claim of being overrun by extra terrestrial like goblins (yes seriously) turns into an entirely different kind of adventure and one that luckily for us all is captured on film and masterfully edited by director Karl Pffeiffer.  I was mesmerized throughout all 15 episodes and continue to think about it's inherent mysteries even to this day.  Beyond Hellier, Greg & Dana run their own traveling (as of now not so traveling) museum of paranormal/occult objects and curate stories and various projects under their production company Planet Weird.  More than anything else, their DIY ethos and punk rock attitudes resonate deeply for and after following both of them on twitter now for a while I can say pretty confidently that they are good people with endlessly curious minds & pure intentions.  They were also the first people I tried my "Deep Impact" bonus segment with so if you want an 20 min bonus with Greg & Dana talking about the books, albums, films, experiences that influenced them the most head on over to Patreon and become a supporter. You'll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bouns segements and lots more.  Follow Dana On Twitter Follow Dana On Instagram Follow Greg On Twitter Follow Greg On Instagram WATCH HELLIER Support The Para Museum On Patreon!  Support The Cosmic Nod on Patreon!
