Chronicles of a Psychonaut019 Brotherhood and CamaraderieThis is a conversation with two friends from my college fraternity about how men's groups can be a supportive force in the world - especially if they operate under a code of ethics. The first line of our mission statement is "Our goal is to build better men." We talk about our experiences in leadership positions, how we taught our members to respect women, and yes, our party experiences as well. Towards the end we talk psychedelics and have a potent discussion on American politics.

Having covered the broader system of tantra in episode 12 - The Tantric Path, we go more specifically into the aspects of tantra that address sexuality. We discuss sexual alchemy between the masculine and feminine and how to access deeper sexual experiences through sexual cultivation and by moving the energy up the spine by using the breath and other techniques.

In particular, we discuss some hot button issues like masculine/feminine dynamics and a sense of separation that many of us are feeling these days. In the last half of the episode, I ask Dr. Loi about her experiences with psychedelic plants and we both tell tales of unusual and non-ordinary states of consciousness and perception.

Chronicles of a Psychonaut012 The Tantric PathMany people know that tantra is associated with sexuality but it goes much, much deeper than that. It's a system that embraces all the aspects of who we are and helps us to awaken more deeply into our true nature. It's one of the oldest spiritual traditions on Earth and personally I find it refreshing to learn about a system that embraces sex instead of shames it and acknowledges the dark instead of rejecting it. That's why I brought in my friend Halo Seronko to tell us all about it. She has been studying tantra for many years and...

We started off talking about his experiences traversing the underworld with ayahuasca and eventually wound our way into the realms of depth psychology, mythology, astrology, and archetype.

Too often we go straight back to our lives or ignore the insights that we've gained from the experience. Today I'm joined by Daniel Shankin from Mt.

I relate my own story as well, which is similar to Jesse's and so many other people I know. It's very easy to get caught up...

Chronicles of a Psychonaut005 Adventures in Hong KongI traveled to Asia for two months this Spring to experience different cultures and ways of being.

In this episode of Chronicles of a Psychonaut, I sit down with new friend Natalie Goni in Hong Kong. She's originally from England and has been living there for the last 5 years. We talk about t...
