The Mushroom's Apprentice FREE – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This latest episode features Anders Beatty, who has created a protocol for pre-treatment ibogaine counseling and coaching that has become a fundamental protocol for key ibogaine providers. Anders shoots from the hip, which I so appreciate. He shares candidly about his own addiction experience and his resultant ibogaine treatment that dramatically changed his life and brought him to the counseling work he does today. Anders speaks to the merits and pitfalls of Alcoholics Anonymous and gets into the psychology of addiction, which is the symptom of the problem - it's ultimately about the relationship we have with ourselves based on our conditioning. Another major topic of addiction is screens, and he has a lot to say on that element of the addiction spectrum, which is a worldwide issue. In the second hour Anders shares a stirringly poignant story about his Ibogaine experience that brought tears to my eyes and will stay with me for a long time to come. He explains the importance of preparation for ritual, and the essential need for pre-treatment to prepare the individual for the Ibogaine experience. We hear about the importance of integration after the fact but it is every bit as essential to have support and preparation before such a dramatically life-changing initiation. The insights and wisdom that Anders so generously shares will both inform and inspire, whether or not you or someone you know struggles with addiction in its multiple expressions.

Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue joins me once again to discuss his new book, The Silver Branch and the Otherworld, which is a kind of user's manual for real and profound connection to the spirits and cycles of nature, the ancestors, the trees and plants and the Otherworld inhabitants. That such a book would come forward at this time when the world is falling apart at the seams is notable. One might ask how such a book would have any relevance to us today. Thus, this episode where Seán speaks to how we, as people, possess the innate ability to communicate and perceive the ever-present subtle messages from the natural world, seen and unseen. The first hour explores the body/mind system of the ancient Gaels - the Three Cauldrons - their function, and how to engage and support them. I asked Seán if an ally like psilocybin mushrooms would assist one to more fully embrace these body centers, and that initiated a fascinating weave of how to approach the mushroom, the dangers of psychiatric/medical establishment control of psychedelic experiences and much more. The second hour explores the cross-quarter festivals on the Gaelic wheel of the year, trees as elders and memory keepers, a very interesting viewpoint on A.I. technologies, and more. Seán is steeped in the language, myth and culture of his Irish heritage, and his depth of knowledge is a great gift to those of us who are eager to be touched by that beauty. He will be teaching a class on the Silver Branch and the Otherworld beginning September 11th through October 30th and you can learn more about that here: https://otherworldwell.com/products/course-the-silver-branch-and-the-otherworld Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greenmansean
