Description

We’ve got a very special episode today! As we’ll discover in more detail, music and psychedelics have a very long and interconnected history where some ancient traditions are alive even today. Along with our four guests (yes, four!), we journey into their relationship scaling from a single healing session to larger subcultures such as the rave scene, as well as the exciting and realistic possibilities for the future:
