Welcome to . . . Iboganautics: Unveiling the iboga experience for first-timers and shamans alike. I’m your host, A.M. Thanks for checking out my podcast on all things iboga. Considering I started out with the intention of doing a weekly podcast, Season 1's grouped topics and guests might seem a bit disorderly. If I had to tease out a theme from what I put together, however, I would say that Season 1 is kind of an extension of my master's thesis, wherein I asked how we might control psychedelic experiences. For example, Rico Mesa (ep1.2) speaks about how he controls his body using calisthenic techniques and I wonder how we can apply such methods to controlling the psychedelically intoxicated and unconstrained mind. I read all five chapters of my master's thesis (ep1.3-1.7) about the potential of modern technologies partially or fully controlling the psychedelic experience one day, and the word "control" can be swapped out for shaping, navigating, or willing parts of the experience. Dr. Claudia Schwarz-Plaschg (ep1.8) speaks about how we imagine and analogize psychedelic experiences, so the manner in which we think about these experiences is a form of control. Psychedelic integration coach Greg Lawrence's iboga microdosing with cannabis method (ep1.9) is like a form of control, because users dip their toe into iboga headspace without experiencing the usually difficult "flood dose." Dr. Steve Katsikas (ep1.10) speaks about the phenomenology of the ibogaine treatment experience, giving future users a sense of what they might experience under the influence of ibogaine, so that gives a sense of control through informed anticipation of how the experience unfolds. Last but not least, I invited Yann Guignon (ep1.1), an activist for iboga sustainability, to be my first guest to start this project on the right foot.
