In this live episode of Sunday Zen, we dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero. I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences. We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, a...

Psychotherapist and psychedelic guide Mira Funk shows us how. Video version here. This video may be a bit intimidating, but luckily I decided to use these medicines myself under Mira's guidance s...

I tried 3 of the most powerful psychedelics known: 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum via vaporized, oral, and (*cough*) other routes...all over 3 days.
