Christofer and entrepreneur Aaron Nesmith-Beck speak about practical tips for having a useful psychedelic experience in this episode of Do Explain. They discuss if using drugs is cheating, dealing with bad/challenging trips, ceremonial containers for a trip, nested arcs, fractal insights, tripping in a group, psilocybin retreats in Holland, DMT, QRI and neural annealing, meeting extra dimensional beings, and other related topics.

Aaron Nesmith-Beck is a writer and entrepreneur most interested in psychedelics as a way to effectively do good. He founded Atman, one of the first legal psilocybin retreats.

Before that, he travelled for several years while blogging at Freedom & Fulfilment, which has now reached almost a million people worldwide. He's currently based in Toronto, Canada and was previously a board member of Mapping the Mind, one of Canada’s largest psychedelic science conferences, and a volunteer organizer for Effective Altruism Toronto. Other interests of his include meditation, applied ethics, personality and transpersonal psychology, and nonduality.
