Today’s guest is a MUST RELEASE!! I interviewed Daniel back in January and feel that now is the perfect time to release this conversation - as Pluto enters into Aquarius. 

Pluto isn’t afraid to question who’s in charge, navigating the most complex systematic networks and quietly ripping them apart from the inside out.

Queue up this conversation with Daniel Pinchbeck!

He is the author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream, among other works.

In his books and Substack, he explores philosophical and critical perspectives on shamanism, and his personal transformation from a cynic to a mystic. He’s a philosopher, author, psychonaut, and activist. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  1. how his mom being part of the Beat generation influences his work
  2. how he explains the Aquarian, liminal age that we're now experiencing
  3. how we can grok this idea that this earth is reincarnating 
  4. why thinking should be from the heart
  5. how integration + shadow work can circumvent the corporatization of psychedelics
  6. the importance of going beyond our traumas
  7. the importance of grief and sorrow
