036: An exploration of Psilocybin as an agent of insight, a teacher and elder with James Jesso

The psychedelic experience for many, can act as a whirlwind experience, pulling us out of the comfort of our familiar reality and offering an altered view of ourselves and the nature of the world around us. Due to the expansive and ineffable nature of these substances, it would serve most to invest time into creating intentionality around interacting with plant medicines. Writer, lecturer, podcaster and philosophical psychonaut, James Jesso, as a strong member in the psychedelic community, explores building a psychological model around the psychedelic experience, to aid others in their integration and digestion of these peak states of consciousness. James has a fantastic outlook on altered states, and eloquently articulates the benefits that may be received from an intentional, and respectful relationship with these medicines. We also explore the potential dangers in relating to these entities in an unconscious way. For anyone interested or even resistant to the world of psychedelics or any altered states of consciousness, this one's for you
