Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Kimberly Adams In this hauntingly powerful episode, we step into the sacred space where grief becomes language, and language becomes transformation. Our guest is not just a grief researcher—she is a cartographer of the soul’s underworld, traveling the globe to learn how cultures mourn, metabolize loss, and emerge more alive. With over 15 years in entrepreneurship and business consulting, she bridges two worlds: one of spirit and shadow, the other of scale and strategy. Together, we unravel the ways unresolved grief can bind us to cycles of addiction, abuse, and disconnection—and how, through psychedelic ritual, cross-cultural initiation, and honest storytelling, we might finally begin to listen to what the dead are trying to say. This conversation weaves metaphysics with marketing, mourning with momentum. It’s for anyone who has lost someone—or something—and is brave enough to ask: What now? This is not grief as diagnosis. This is grief as teacher. This is not death as end. This is death as metaphor. Enter the conversation your ancestors have already started.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Voyage of initiation Welcome to The Voyage of Initiation—a podcast not for the faint of ego. This is the edge where psyche meets system, where myth bleeds into reality, and where transformation demands a toll. If you’re here, it means you’ve felt it too—that crack in the world. That tension between what is and what could be. I’m George Monty, your host, fellow rebel, and eternal student of the symbolic and the strange. And today, you’re not just listening—you’re entering the rite. Jessica is a liminal being—equal parts strategist and shadow-worker. A Jungian insurgent disguised as a healthcare innovator. A weaver of archetypes, systems, and symbols, working to transmute the soulless machinery of modern life into something sacred. She’s not here to fix the system—she’s here to dismantle the illusion. Jessica’s background is a kaleidoscope of experience: Jungian, insurance alchemist, genetic oracle, psychedelics, and myth-maker. She’s walked through the corridors of industry and emerged with a map of the unconscious scrawled in the margins of bureaucracy. She’s not reforming the world—she’s initiating it. In this series, we’re not talking treatments. We’re talking transformation. This is the realm of the wounded healer, the trickster, the anima, the death of ego, and the alchemy of trauma. This is the collective unconscious whispering through systems. This is shadow integration in real time. We’re going to ask the questions polite society avoids: —Is the system itself the patient? —Has the healer become the gatekeeper? —What dies when the mask of professionalism slips? —And can the soul find its way back through the psychedelic doorway? So light the incense, sharpen the sword, and put your psyche in the front seat. This isn’t therapy. This is initiation. And today, we begin with Jessica Tracy. https://www.jessicathejungian.coach/ Support the show: https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US Check out our YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkg Grow your own: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/ This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafini https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Eric Kaufmann There are moments when the world doesn’t need another leader in a tailored suit with bullet points and buzzwords. It needs an elder. A mirror. A firestarter. Today’s guest initiates warriors. He walks them to the edge of their identity, hands them the flint, and says: “Now light it up.” For over two decades, Eric Kaufmann has been guiding CEOs, founders, and senior leaders through the crucible—helping them break down the illusions of self-importance, shed the skin of performative leadership, and step into something real… something forged in the fire of clarity, presence, and sacred responsibility. He’s the author of Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader—books that don’t just sit pretty on a bookshelf. They initiate. Eric’s work is where Zen meets the boardroom, where ancient wisdom meets modern chaos, and where the rite of leadership is not handed to you—it’s earned through trials. Through courage, grit, faith, and focus. This is not about optics. This is not about quarterly gains. This is about inner revolution. The kind that echoes outward and recalibrates the system itself. So if you’re ready to trade comfort for consciousness… If you’re ready to drop the mask and meet the mirror… Then hold fast. Because today, we’re not interviewing a guest. We’re crossing a threshold. Welcome to the show… Eric Kaufmann. http://www.sagatica.com INITIATION, THRESHOLDS & THE INNER FIRE 1. “What is the price of initiation—and how does one know they’ve truly paid it?” (Not with money, not with time, but with something that doesn’t grow back.) 2. “In your experience, what is the pattern of the soul’s evolution through leadership? Is there a universal map—or must each leader carve their own labyrinth?” 3. “When a leader finally sees the mask they’ve been wearing… what should they do next—burn it, bury it, or bow to it?” THE EDGE BETWEEN MIND AND MYSTERY 4. “You speak about wisdom as a path—how do you distinguish wisdom from intelligence, and how do leaders learn to trust one over the other?” 5. “What role does silence play in your coaching? And how do you teach leaders to listen to the silence between their thoughts?” 6. “Have you ever had a moment where everything you taught broke down in your own life? And if so, what did you rebuild from the ashes?” THE SPIRITUAL UNDERCURRENT OF LEADERSHIP 7. “You’ve lived in both the corporate world and the contemplative—do you believe great leadership is ultimately a spiritual practice?” 8. “What is the difference between ambition and sacred responsibility?” 9. “Can a leader be powerful without being dangerous? Or is danger part of the initiation into presence?” THE TENSION BETWEEN EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE 10. “We live in a world obsessed with credentials and performance—yet the deepest truths seem to come from experience. What have you learned in pain, in failure, or in presence that no degree could’ve taught you?” THE MASTER–STUDENT ARC 11. “If I were your student, standing before you at the edge of my next initiation, what would you challenge me to surrender—and what would you demand I carry forward?” 12. “What question would you ask your younger self, the day before he first stepped into leadership?” 13. “What truth do you hold now that would’ve terrified the teacher you were ten years ago?” FINAL CUTS: PHILOSOPHICAL DAGGERS 14. “Is it possible to lead without identity?” 15. “If the next evolution of leadership required you to unlearn everything you know… where would you begin?” 16. “Do you believe suffering is necessary for wisdom—or just common?” The Sutra of Ouromorphosis from the Transcendent Upanishads of the Future Past 1 I am the mouth that devours myself, the tail swallowed in...

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Steven Twohig isn’t here to fix your surface-level symptoms. He’s not your coach. He’s your cartographer for the unknown. The man maps the subterranean landscapes of the soul—the hidden patterns, the ancestral echoes, the buried beliefs you didn’t even know were running your life like a ghost in the machine. He’s been doing this work for nearly 25 years—not as a guru on a hilltop, but as a man in the trenches. Helping leaders, entrepreneurs, and seekers tear down what no longer serves and rebuild a mind-state that serves the mission—balanced, embodied, and burning with purpose. This ain’t therapy. This is unlearning the lie. This is strategy for the soul. This is rebellion against your inner saboteur.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Kyle Rosner In an era of scripted sameness and corporate noise, one voice refuses to conform. Kyle Rosner is a media insurgent — a producer, writer, and creative tactician who doesn’t wait for permission, doesn’t play it safe, and sure as hell doesn’t follow the formula. From film to radio, TV to podcasts, he’s been behind the boards, behind the lens, and behind the words — crafting stories that hit hard and leave a mark. His content is sharp, funny, thought-provoking — always tailored, never tamed. He’s the guy brands call when they need voice, not volume. The strategist who finds magic in the mess. The creator who thrives under pressure and still finds time to punch up the truth. If the mainstream is a current, Kyle swims upstream — armed with vision, grit, and a knack for making something out of nothing. He’s not just producing media — he’s rewriting the rules. This isn’t a career. It’s a rebellion. And today, we’re tuning in. http://linkedin.com/in/kyle-rosner-6989a385 https://filmfreeway.com/KyleRosner Reality Sandwich | Evolving Consciousness Bite by Bite Support the show: https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US Check out our YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkg Grow your own: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/ This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafini https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima 🎙️🎙️Remzi Bajrami In a world caught between collapsing systems and rising possibilities, one voice cuts through the noise—measured, visionary, unafraid. Remzi is not just an entrepreneur; he’s a cartographer of new economies, sketching maps where others see chaos. From data to development, from finance to philosophy, he moves with precision—designing structures that serve people, not control them. A student of systems and a steward of truth, his mission is clear: to build a future where value flows like water—free, fair, and alive. http://www.common-planet.org/ Usurocracy A Lamentation and a Reckoning ⸻ Beneath the marble grin of civilization, a rot calcifies— not in the flesh, but in the architecture of belief. We are ruled not by men, but by algorithms baptized in greed, by equations cold as crypts that render compassion non-essential. This is the Usurocracy: a sanctified machine where interest compounds faster than empathy decays, and debt is the new Eucharist— taken daily, without wine, without forgiveness. Here, cathedrals are built of contracts. The cross has been replaced by a dollar sign inverted— a symbol no less cruciform, no less cruel. Ours is a regime that devours futures before they are born. Children inherit not legacy, but liability, suckled on scarcity, swaddled in slogans: Produce. Obey. Consume. Die. The wealthy do not walk here; they levitate above us— insulated in abstraction, wreathed in derivatives, feasting on the interest of lives they’ll never touch. They do not steal bread; they collateralize the soil. They do not start wars; they securitize the aftermath. And we? We are offered dignity at 19.99% APR. We barter hours, memories, marrow— the sacred coin of consciousness— in exchange for the illusion of solvency. And still, the architects of this edifice demand gratitude— they erect statues to their benevolence, then charge us admission to grieve beneath them. But I tell you now: There is a crack in the vault. There is a tremor beneath the floor of this great accounting hall. And in that trembling— a root stirs. Not metaphor, but material. Not symbol, but seed. A radical green bored through concrete indifference, defying yield curves and laughing at the tyranny of ledgers. This shoot—this subtle insurgency— blooms without permission. It names no market. It reports to no exchange. Its dividends are silence, its growth is ungoverned, and its scent— O, its scent is liberation. So let the empires rise, and fall, and rise again. Let the debtors’ prayers be data. Let the gods of compound calculation choke on their own profit. For we are remembering— Not how to earn, but how to be. Not how to possess, but how to belong. Not how to survive this machine, but how to become its extinction.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima INTRODUCTION: BROTHER OF THE REBELLION Today’s guest is not just a man—he’s a reckoning. Miguel Torres was once a weapon in the gears of empire—military mind, corporate strategist, trained to move mountains without ever making a sound. But somewhere along the march, he heard the whisper—the sacred hum beneath the static. And he turned. Not away—but inward. Now, he stands unshackled at the crossroads of spirit and smoke, hosting The Conversation, Cannabis & Christianity Podcast—a sanctuary where the high meets the holy, and questions are lit like incense at the altar of awakening. Miguel is no preacher, but he delivers sermons with fire. No longer armed with orders—he’s armed with questions that peel back the sky. This brother doesn’t hand out dogma—he hands out torches. So we can burn away what’s been forced upon us And step into what’s always lived within us. As the Gospel of Thomas says: “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” Miguel is bringing it forth—raw, real, and righteous. A rebel. A guide. A spiritual arsonist with holy smoke in his lungs. Welcome to the fire, Miguel Torres. Let’s make this conversation the match that starts the blaze. https://ccandcpodcast.com/ Support the show: https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US Check out our YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkg Grow your own: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/ This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafini https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima To the fugitives of the default world — welcome back to the TrueLife Podcast, where we torch the status quo and dance barefoot on the ashes. Today’s guest? He walked out of the ivory tower of medicine like a man refusing to serve poison with a smile. He saw the system for what it was — a gilded cage lined with pharmaceutical profits and wrapped in the illusion of healing. Most would’ve swallowed the pill, cashed the checks, and played the part. But Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh? Nah. He chose the path of maximum resistance — truth. He didn’t just leave med school — he escaped it. He burned the white coat and traded it for a keyboard, a camera, and a third eye wide open. Now, he’s out here engineering prompts like spells, bending AI to his will, and conjuring visions of a future where medicine isn’t a racket, it’s a revolution. He’s a renegade technomystic, in the age of machine gods, a glitch in the Matrix who knows that healing doesn’t come in a pill bottle — it comes when you confront the lie, strip it bare, and rewrite the code. So if you came for some TED Talk TEDium, you’re in the wrong damn place. But if you’re ready to rip the blindfold off, challenge the sacred cows of science, and vibe with a man building a new operating system for human consciousness — grab your favorite sacrament and settle in. This is Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh. And this is rebellion in real time.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima The Alchemy of Ashes I. The Descent They said the road was paved in gold, but I found only dust— dust in my lungs, dust in my veins, dust in the ruins of the gods I once believed in. The stars collapsed like dying prophets, whispering riddles to the blind. I clawed through the wreckage of my former self, searching for the bones of meaning, but meaning had been set aflame, and the smoke spelled my name in tongues I’d forgotten. O fool of the waking world, O dreamer in a land of steel! Did you think the fire would spare you? Did you think the night would kneel? II. The Crucible There is a moment in every exile when the wind stops wailing, when silence presses like a lover’s palm against your mouth— and you understand. Not with words, not with reason, but with the marrow of your bones, with the ache that only grief can conjure. The old world burns, the new one writhes, and somewhere between death and dawn, you learn to dance in the cinders. They call it madness, they call it sin, but Kesey called it the edge, Leary called it the key, and Morrison screamed it from the rooftops until the night swallowed his voice. We have been here before, in the temples of Eleusis, in the deserts of the prophets, in the painted haze of acid visions— standing at the threshold of annihilation, laughing because we finally see. III. The Rebirth Let them come with their chains, their rules, their fear— I have walked through the fire, and I am not the same. I am forged in the wreckage, baptized in the void, a child of ruin, a son of the storm. O city of sleeping minds, O kingdom of glass and smoke! You cannot hold me, you cannot name me, I have carved my own gospel into the skin of the sky. For I have seen the sacred spiral, the ouroboros coiled in eternity’s palm. I have watched death weep into the river, only to rise again, only to rise again, only to rise again. And so I rise— not in chains, not in fear, but in the name of all who bled before me, all who dared to whisper to the abyss and heard it whisper back: You were never broken. You were only becoming.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Today, I’m honored to introduce Rob Poynter — a man who has dedicated his life to service, resilience, and creating a lasting impact. Rob is a retired Deputy Sheriff with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, where he built extensive experience in patrol, airport security, community policing, special duty operations, and as a motorcycle deputy. Throughout his career, he developed a strong foundation in public safety, crisis response, training, and leadership. After retiring due to an on-duty motorcycle accident, Rob reinvented himself, transitioning into the world of private business. He now runs a private money lending business, applying his expertise in risk assessment and financial strategy. Rob actively manages investments through a Self-Directed IRA and LLC, using Infinite Banking principles to optimize liquidity and long-term wealth growth. But Rob’s story doesn’t stop there. He’s also the driving force behind Warriorside, a veteran-owned 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting veterans who silently battle the invisible scars of war. With a mission to reduce the alarming rates of veteran suicide and depression, Warriorside provides a platform for veterans to share their raw, unfiltered experiences — stories born from courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. Rob believes that connection through storytelling is one of the most powerful paths to healing, creating a community where no one feels alone in their struggles. Rob’s journey is a testament to resilience and purpose, and through Warriorside, he’s making sure that no veteran fights their battles alone. http://linkedin.com/in/rob-poynter-b49649170 https://warriorsidefoundation.org/events-page/ Support the show: https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US Check out our YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkg Grow your own: https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/ This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafini https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Introducing Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake: The Seeker of Sublime Visions From the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka emerges a visionary artist whose canvas becomes a portal to the unseen — Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake. With each brushstroke, He dances on the edge of reality and dream, capturing the intricate beauty that lies hidden within matter and mind. His work is more than art; it is a revelation born from the depths of psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness. Nuwan’s creations invite us to witness the sublime, to peer into the kaleidoscope of existence where the micro and macro intertwine, forming patterns of profound complexity. In his pursuit, He becomes both artist and explorer, translating the ineffable into vivid expressions that stir the soul. Prepare to journey beyond the veil, guided by a hand that paints not just with color, but with wonder. Here’s a list of epic questions inspired by Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake’s artistic journey: 1. The Call to Create: What first drew you to explore the unseen realms through art? Was there a moment when you felt the call to capture these visions? 2. The Visionary’s Lens: How do psychedelic and visionary states shape your artistic process? Do the images come fully formed, or do they reveal themselves as you create? 3. Between Matter and Mind: You speak of the micro and macro intertwining in your work. How do you translate those invisible patterns into something we can see and feel? 4. The Artist as Explorer: Do you consider yourself more of an artist, a seeker, or a translator of hidden truths? Or perhaps all three? 5. Dancing with the Unknown: What is the most profound vision you’ve ever experienced, and how did it find its way into your art? 6. Colors of Consciousness: How do you choose your color palettes? Do the hues hold symbolic meaning, or do they emerge intuitively? 7. Portal to the Sublime: When someone gazes into one of your pieces, what do you hope they experience or discover within themselves? 8. The Artistic Journey: Has creating these works changed you as a person? Do you feel a deeper connection to the world — or perhaps something beyond it? 9. Facing the Abyss: Are there ever moments of fear or hesitation when diving into these realms? How do you navigate the darker aspects of visionary experiences? 10. Legacy of Light: If your art could leave behind one message or feeling for future generations, what would it be? Would you like me to refine these, or add some poetic flare to make them even more evocative? Let me know!

A hush, a throb, a molten ache — The dark arched back, prepared to break. Time slipped soft, like silken thighs, Parted wide beneath black skies. The cosmos shuddered, slick with night, As starlight dripped from veins of light. Eros stirred, with trembling hands, To trace the curve of astral lands. Galaxies gasped, their breaths unstrung, As moaning void and dawn were wrung. Serpents coiled in fevered dance, Fangs to flesh, a sharp romance. The ouroboros kissed its tail, A spiral thrust through star and veil. Each pulse, a prayer, a tender plea — A universe in ecstasy. Beneath the weight of dark’s demand, Creation bloomed at love’s command. Time convulsed, a slick cascade, As shadows spilled and stars obeyed. A velvet thrust, a crimson spark — Eternity, unclothed and dark. The veil unstitched, the heavens wide, As dawn slid soft between the tide.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima Micah Anderson Aloha, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the TrueLife Podcast — where we dive deep with trailblazers and game-changers shaping the future. Today, we’re lighting up a conversation with a true pioneer at the intersection of cannabis, entrepreneurship, and cutting-edge innovation. Micah Anderson is the Founder and CEO of Leef Brands, a visionary force behind one of the most sophisticated cannabis extraction facilities in North America. He holds every cannabis license type, making him a master navigator of one of the most complex industries in the world. Under his leadership, Leef has assembled a world-class executive team, built powerful distribution networks, and secured both private equity and institutional debt to fuel the company’s growth. But Micah isn’t just shaping markets — he’s shaping policy. Recognized at both the Federal and state levels as a key opinion leader, he regularly advises government officials and takes the stage at conferences to share his insights. And if that weren’t enough, he’s a big-time Bitcoin believer, exploring the frontiers of finance just as boldly as he’s reshaping cannabis. From green rush to digital gold, today we’re diving into the mind of a serial entrepreneur who thrives where innovation meets disruption. Buckle up — this is going to be a ride. Micah, welcome to the show! https://leefbrands.com/ https://x.com/micah_a_leef?s=21&t=l-RuYzZ5-PN85Y-SxI7OMw Cannabis and Entrepreneurship: 1. Cannabis has long been a symbol of both counterculture and healing. As someone who’s shaped the industry from the inside, do you see cannabis as a plant that’s transforming society — or is society transforming cannabis? 2. In building Leef Brands, you’ve turned a once-illicit industry into a legitimate enterprise. What does it take to walk that razor’s edge between rebellion and regulation? 3. You hold every cannabis license type — a feat in itself. Do you see these licenses as keys to unlocking opportunity, or as shackles that keep innovation in check? 4. The cannabis industry has deep roots in underground culture. As the market becomes more corporate, how do you preserve the soul of the plant while scaling a business? 5. Entrepreneurship is often painted as a pursuit of freedom, yet the process demands structure, discipline, and sacrifice. How do you balance personal freedom with the responsibilities of leadership? ⸻ Policy and Power: 6. You’ve advised government officials on cannabis policy. What’s more difficult: shifting the public narrative, or convincing policymakers to see beyond decades of stigma? 7. When you speak to lawmakers about cannabis reform, do you feel like a translator between two worlds — or more of a disruptor forcing change from the inside? 8. Policy shapes culture as much as culture shapes policy. Do you believe legal frameworks can ever truly reflect the complexity of cannabis and its role in human history? ⸻ Legacy and Innovation: 9. You’ve built one of the most sophisticated extraction facilities in North America. Do you view technology as a tool to enhance the plant, or does it risk sterilizing the natural magic of cannabis? 10. In both cannabis and Bitcoin, there’s this tension between preserving legacy and embracing the future. How do you navigate that paradox? 11. What’s the most profound lesson cannabis has taught you — not as a product, but as a teacher in your life’s journey? ⸻ Bitcoin and Decentralization: 12. Cannabis and Bitcoin both challenge centralized power structures. Do you see parallels between the green revolution and the crypto revolution? 13. Bitcoin is often described as “trustless,” removing the need for intermediaries. Do you believe cannabis could follow a similar path,...

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima 🎙️🎙️🎙️Roger Duncan https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Mind-Roger-Duncan/dp/178220377X http://linkedin.com/in/roger-duncan-b4550b10 rogerpcd@gmail.com Aloha, my friends! Today, I’m incredibly honored to introduce a truly visionary guest, one whose work fuses the wisdom of nature with the depth of human psychology. Roger Duncan is not only a trained biologist and Waldorf teacher but a guide of profound rites of passage in the wilderness. With thirty years of experience, Roger has walked the wild paths of both nature and human transformation, bridging the gap between our internal worlds and the natural environment that sustains us. Roger’s journey took him through pioneering roles at Ruskin Mill Education Trust, where he crafted therapeutic education programs for complex adolescents, immersing them in the transformative power of woodlands and wilderness settings. As a Systemic Family Therapist, Roger now works within the NHS and in private practice, guiding individuals, families, and organizations to find innovative, nature-infused paths to healing and growth. But Roger doesn’t stop there—he is the author of Nature in Mind, a groundbreaking book that examines the deep-seated madness at the heart of our modern world: a world that has severed its connection to the ecosystems that sustain us. His writing is a clarion call for reclaiming our indigenous relationship with nature, a topic he champions through webinars and immersive courses in eco-psychotherapy. With a career dedicated to blending systemic thinking with ecological mindfulness, Roger is at the forefront of a movement that seeks to heal both the individual and the collective by reconnecting us to the earth. Today, he joins us to share his insights, wisdom, and the healing potential of the imaginal world. Please welcome, Roger Duncan. The Madness of Modernity & Ecological Crisis 1. In Nature in Mind, you describe a “madness at the core of the developed world.” Can you elaborate on this? How has our disconnection from nature led to both psychological and ecological collapse? 2. Many see environmental destruction as an external issue, but you argue it’s deeply tied to human mental health. What psychological wounds mirror the wounds of our planet? 3. How do you respond to those who say modern civilization is “progress” while ignoring the destruction it leaves in its wake? Reclaiming the Imaginal & Indigenous Wisdom 4. You emphasize the need to bring “experiential encounters with the imaginal world” into mainstream culture. What is the imaginal world, and how can reconnecting with it heal us? 5. Ancient and indigenous cultures saw the land as alive, full of spirit and wisdom. How can modern people, lost in technology and consumerism, reawaken this relationship? 6. Do you believe Western psychology is fundamentally incomplete without an ecological and mythological perspective? Eco-Psychotherapy & Systemic Healing 7. How does eco-psychotherapy differ from traditional therapy, and why is nature such a powerful force in healing trauma? 8. You’ve worked with individuals, families, and even organizations. Have you seen systemic healing—where reconnecting one person to nature creates a ripple effect in their community? 9. Can you share a profound transformation you’ve witnessed in someone through your work in wilderness therapy? Rites of Passage & Personal Growth 10. You’ve guided wilderness rites of passage. Why are initiatory experiences in nature so vital for human development, especially in adolescence? 11. Do you think the lack of meaningful rites of passage in modern society is contributing to a generation unmoored from purpose? 12. How can adults—who may have missed their own initiation—find a path back to...

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima 🎙️🎙️🎙️Oli Genn-Bash Aloha and welcome to a conversation that promises to weave together threads of science, philosophy, and the profound mystery of nature. Today, we’re joined by Oli Gen-Bash—a pioneer in the intersection of human consciousness and the enigmatic world of fungi and plants. With a deep-rooted passion for psychedelic exploration, Oli has not only spoken at groundbreaking events like Breaking Convention and Product Earth, but also cultivated a community of curiosity and collaboration as the Founder of The Fungi Consultant and Head of Mycology at Product Earth. A politics postgraduate with a focus on philosophy, mysticism, and critical thinking, Oli approaches the complexities of human experience with the precision of an analyst and the creativity of a musician. As the co-founder of the University of Kent Canterbury Psychedelics Society—now the longest-running student psychedelic society in the UK—he has helped catalyze a movement of open inquiry and connection, even hosting the inaugural Breaking Convention conference in 2011. Oli’s fascination with mycelium is no mere metaphor; he embodies its principles of interconnection and resource-sharing, bridging diverse perspectives to inspire collaboration and empowerment. Whether he’s exploring the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, or harmonizing the realms of politics and mysticism, Oli brings a rare blend of analytical rigor and creative innovation to every endeavor. Prepare yourself for a dialogue that traverses the fertile ground where nature, philosophy, and consciousness converge. Let’s dive into the mycelial network of ideas with Oli Gen-Bash. https://thefungiconsultant.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/oli-genn-bash Questions Mystical Connections & Philosophy 1. Mycelium networks connect and sustain ecosystems, almost like a neural network of the Earth. Do you think humans are meant to emulate this kind of decentralized intelligence in our societies, and what would it take to achieve that level of symbiosis? 2. Mysticism often seeks to dissolve the boundary between self and other. How does your exploration of psychedelics and fungi inform your understanding of individual identity versus collective consciousness? 3. If fungi represent the bridge between life and decay, what do they teach us about the cyclical nature of power, politics, and human institutions? 4. Can the philosophy of mycology—adaptation, interdependence, and mutual exchange—be applied as a blueprint for rethinking global political systems? Psychedelics & Critical Thought 5. In a world increasingly dominated by reductionist thinking, how can the experience of altered states through psychedelics help reintegrate holistic and interconnected perspectives into mainstream thought? 6. As an amateur mycologist and philosopher, what role do you think fungi and psychedelics play in unlocking layers of human cognition that remain inaccessible through conventional methods? 7. Psychedelics are often framed as tools for healing, but could they also serve as catalysts for new forms of governance, ethics, or even human evolution? What might that look like? 8. You’ve spoken about the power of diverse perspectives. How do psychedelic states challenge the limits of analytical thought, and how do they reshape our understanding of logic and reason? Music, Creativity, and Collaboration 9. As a musician, how do you see the rhythms and harmonics of fungal growth reflected in the process of making music, and what can this teach us about the act of creation itself? 10. The act of collaboration mirrors the network-like structure of mycelium. How do you think this principle can be applied in creative spaces, and what have been your most profound...

Alexandra Artzoglou seeks the right questions—the ones that crack open perception, dissolve old narratives, and invite true transformation. Armed with a background in psychology, Alexandra quickly realized that understanding the mind wasn’t enough; the real magic lay in the lived experience—the felt sense of becoming. Since 2017, she’s been deep in the work of integration, not just of ideas, but of self—blending psychology, embodiment practices, and the cutting edge of psychedelic exploration to bridge the gap between knowledge and knowing. Her philosophy? Self-actualization isn’t a peak to be reached; it’s a fluid, ever-unfolding process of stepping into deeper alignment. For those who feel the pull—who know there’s more but haven’t quite found the map—Alexandra offers a rare kind of guidance. One that doesn’t just prepare you for transformation but helps you live it. Through personalized coaching, integration support, and microdosing guidance, she helps others navigate the delicate dance between surrender and intention, between insight and embodiment. Because the real journey isn’t about finding something outside of yourself—it’s about remembering, reclaiming, and becoming what was always there. So, if you’re ready to stop searching and start integrating, welcome to the conversation.

Today, we’re diving deep into the realms of creativity, Carl Jung, psychedelics, and mysticism with two incredible guests who are reshaping the way we think about transformation—both personal and collective. First, we have Jessica Tracy, a pioneer at the crossroads of mental health advocacy, psychedelic integration, and healthcare innovation. As the Founder and CEO of The Sage Collective, she’s bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern medicine, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in psychedelic-assisted therapy. With nearly two decades of experience spanning group insurance, clinical genetics, and health tech, Jessica is reimagining how we approach healing—one policy, one retreat, and one visionary idea at a time. Joining her is Dr. David A. Salomon, a scholar and educator whose work illuminates the history of ideas, from medieval literature to modern philosophy. A former department chair and director of study abroad at The Sage Colleges, and now the founding director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity at Christopher Newport University, Dr. Salomon has spent decades guiding students through the labyrinth of knowledge. His books, including The Seven Deadly Sins and An Introduction to the Glossa Ordinaria as Medieval Hypertext, unravel the intersections of literature, religion, and cultural evolution. Together, these two minds bring a fusion of intellect and intuition, structure and spontaneity, history and the cutting edge. So buckle up—we’re about to explore the unconscious, challenge the status quo, and unlock the mysteries of the mind. Welcome to the show, Jessica Tracy and Dr. David A.
