With this next installment of The Solandarian Game, some surprising moves are made. In chapter 23, Shuntsu, now with regained lucidity, assembles his crack team of Avatars to play the game, and meanwhile, in chapter 24, back on Solandaria, Norbu learns that there's a source of unexpected resistance to Ash's message as he contemplates their next move. The full audiobook is available at Audible, Amazon, and the Apple Bookstore, and the AI-Imagined Art Illustrated Version is available as an ebook at Kindle and Apple, and also as a full color PDF at my Patreon Shop.

My guest this week is Jeffrey Stevens from Psyched Wellness which has developed an effective and safe amanita muscaria extract product, "Calm." Having used it myself, I can attest to its calming, relaxing, and dreamy effects - completely unlike psilocybin mushrooms. It's primarily marketed as a sleep aid, but can be used for enjoyment as an alcohol alternative, as well. We discuss the product, sleep, and more.

My guest this week is Hamilton Souther of Blue Morpho Academy. In our conversation we get into Hamilton's spiritual awakening, his controversial apprenticeship in the world of ayahuasca, and the development of Blue Morpho and its programs for serving ayahuasca and dietas.

The other week, as part of the course I'm helping teach with the Mindscape Psychedelic Institute, I, along with several of the students, visited The UnChurch in Iowa for in-person training. This week's episode recounts my impressions and reflections on the week, what I feel the students got out of it, why instruction on both theory and practice are important, as well as a few comments made by the students themselves of what they feel they've gained by participating in the course.

My guest this week is Pyasa Neko Siff who's here to share her beautiful and moving 5-MeO-DMT-inspired spoken word piece, which is also available as a visually captivating video HERE. We have a deep conversation about the 5-MeO experience and the process of articulating deep truths from the experience, such as is available here with her spoken word.

My guest this week is director and filmmaker, Jeffery Lando, who's here to share all about his new film, "Lissa's Trip". A young actress accidentally takes too much LSD and has to take an inner and outer trip across Los Angeles for an audition in this delightful indie film which makes novel use of AI in a variety of ways, including the production of psychedelic visuals. Jeffery joined me for a lively discussion all about it. You can find the film online HERE.

Continuing with my ongoing theme of collecting narratives from founders of modern entheogenic churches, this week's episode features a lengthy conversation with James Hin, founder of the Psilo Temple in Eugene, Oregon. James shares his story and his emphasis on Psychedelics, Sound, Integration, Love, and Oneness (P.S.I.L.O.), his personal journey into entheogens, his experience of operating the church, membership, offerings, community relations, and more. You can find out more about the church online at Psilotemple.org.
