We are delighted to host Dimitri Mugianis for this episode on the Mangu.tv podcast series.
Dimitri, a noted harm reduction advocate, psychedelic practitioner, musician, writer, and community organizer, revolutionized heroin addiction treatment in the U.S. using Ibogaine, despite its legal status. His unique approach combines traditional ibogaine ceremony elements with Western medical safety protocols, highlighted in the documentary "I’m Dangerous With Love." His work has garnered global research interest and acceptance in some medical circles.
Mugianis has conducted over 500 Ibogaine ceremonies and thousands using sound, art, psychedelics like Psilocybin and MDMA, focusing on psychological healing and spiritual awakenings. With 20 years in the psychedelic field, he's recognized for his expertise and contributions to harm reduction. Co-founding a holistic program at New York Harm Reduction Educators (NYHRE), he integrates various therapies for marginalized groups, demonstrating his commitment to innovative and compassionate care.
Dimitri shares his story growing up in Detroit, childhood traumas, as a teen, heavy drug use and life as a punk musician, and later his struggle with Heroin addiction as a young adult in New York. He talks about his transformative experience, healing his addiction with Ibogaine and how it informed his life path helping others to overcome addiction.
Giancarlo and Dimitri discuss the subjective nature of healing from addiction, and how psychedelics, art, sound and support can help with harm reduction. Dimitri talks about his work in harm reduction and the value of a community space and compassionate team to support those suffering with addiction.
