This week on Conscious Physician Medicine + Psychedelics, we’re joined by writer, podcaster, and psychedelic guide Zach Leary—a seeker, teacher, and bridge between eras of psychedelic exploration.
For over three decades, Zach has been immersed in the evolving story of psychedelics, bearing witness to both the historic countercultural wave and today’s psychedelic renaissance. With roots in digital innovation and a soul shaped by Ram Dass and Bhakti Yoga, Zach brings a rare blend of ancient wisdom, personal devotion, and practical guidance to the modern psychedelic space.
As an integration coach, session facilitator, and educator, Zach has supported hundreds on their journeys of healing, transformation, and spiritual inquiry. His approach weaves together harm reduction, historical insight, internal family systems, and contemplative practice—offering both safety and depth to the psychedelic experience.
In this conversation, we explore:
The legacy of Ram Dass and the continuing ripple of his teachings
What it means to facilitate with integrity and reverence
The role of psychedelics in modern healing, mysticism, and awakening
Zach’s personal path—from marketing exec to kirtan-singing Deadhead to soon-to-be author
