What is happening in a psychedelic experience? Subjective feels vs Objective reality
What is the difference between the subjective feeling of psychedelics, and the objective truth of what the experience reveals? Is there even a difference? Is the distinction important?
These are the kinds of questions I attempt to answer in this video, while laying out my perspective on the incredible benefits I think these substance can provide us. As always what I lay out here is purely my opinion and I am not claiming that this is scientific fact, or some kind of revealed knowledge from a higher power.
In this video I refer back to my earlier piece on Leo Gura from Actualized.org in order to make some comparisons on our different approaches to psychedelics. Its not that I particularly have an axe to grind with Leo, but I do think he is a perfect example of someone who is failing to integrate his experiences.
A traditional shipibo icaro sung by master shaman Wiler Noriega Rodrigues from Ayahuasca Spirit.
Wiler has helped many people during his career as a healer, and has held ceremonies at several of the most acclaimed centers including Soltara, Arkana, and Temple of the Way of Light.
He now runs his own organisation called Ayahuasca Spirit, which has a center in Peru but also puts on retreats in Europe.
I put this video together to help spread Wilers message and promote his medicine which has helped me immensely over the years. I am not employed by Ayahuasca Spirit nor do I benefit financially in any way for making this video, I am simply helping out some friends who have a cause I believe in.

Apologies for the rant but I have recently seen division in the online psychedelic conversation spaces due to the unnecessary inclusion of politics into the discourse.
Whatever your particular beliefs or agenda, not everyone shares it, so please don't crowbar it into every possible conversation. There are so many more interesting things to discuss about these amazing substances that it blows my mind that someone would force in something so mundane - particularly when it is so divisive in nature.
There are plenty of existing spaces to discuss your activism or political agenda, please keep psychedelics out of it.

Groupshare is my take on any hot topics I see being discussed within the psychedelic community.
In this episode I look at the debate between going on an ayahuasca retreat, vs doing it yourself at home. I've seen some discussions on this issue become quite heated, but I am of the opinion that comparing them is a false equivalency.
If you have any questions or topics you wold like me to cover then leave a message below.

Sexual abuse, financial exploitation, psychological brainwashing, disregard for safety, lack of training or basic knowledge on the substances they are administering, which has resulted in at least one persons death. As revealed by a former high ranking member from within the organisation, all these things have taken place on Inner Mastery's "healing" ayahuasca retreats.
I know I have talked about Inner Mastery before, but after speaking to a high level whistle-blower from within the organisation then this put a whole new perspective on how I view this organisation. This is a story that needs to be heard. Even if you have seen my previous videos on this group and think you know the full story of how this organisation functions - YOU NEED TO SEE THIS, and especially if you are someone who is considering joining one of this groups retreats.
Martin Lozano was a high ranking member of Inner Mastery's management team who left the organisation after his wife was sexually assaulted during one of their retreats. He recently reached out to me to tell his side of the story - that Inner Mastery is an abusive cult, which exploits its members, as well as employing brainwashing techniques through use of ayahuasca and thought reform.

In this video we weigh up the pros and cons of going to either the Amazon jungle (Iquitos) vs The Sacred Valley (Cusco) as a location for doing an ayahuasca retreat.
We don't talk about any specific retreat centers, instead this video is to provide information on what you can expect from each location, to help you decide which one is the right choice for you.

In this live-stream I will be joined by special guest Ryan Otis, fellow YouTuber and host of the channel "The Naked Guru Experience".
Here is a link to Ryan's channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheNakedGuruExperience
Ryan has promised me that he will not actually be naked for this particular stream, and we will be starting off having a discussion around psychedelic language or buzzwords, that might get overused or misapplied when describing these experiences, but as always we will see where the conversation takes us!
We will also be taking questions from the live chat feed in real-time, so feel free to jump in and ask us anything :)

A review of the 2 day ayahuasca retreat offered by Ayahuasca International. This organisation also goes by the names Ayahuasca English, Inner Mastery, and European School of Ayahuasca. Despite the multiple names its all the same group.
I didn't like this retreat and would not recommend it, watch the video to find out why.

I had a few people asking me what my technique is for smoking DMT in order to get a breakthrough experience. If you follow these instructions then its fairly easy to accomplish every single time.
See you in hyperspace!
