While smoking DMT at a gathering of friends, Charles Patti made contact with something more, and his life was changed. This is his story of how he healed with DMT, got into Ketamine therapy, opened a clinic in Florida, developed a podcast, created a non-profit for veteran access to psychedelic healing, his experience with psychedelic parenting, and more. So many interesting topics, all in one episode! Find out more about Charles and his projects with these links: Clinic, DMTx, Warriors of Consciousness

Production note: there were some occasional transmission hiccups on Charles' side of the conversation. I've tried to edit them as best I could, but expect a few places where the audio gets a little glitchy.

This week in the next two chapters from The Solandarian Game, Shuntsu brings his team of Avatars to Black Rock City Station to figure out how they're going to accomplish converting it into a viable habitat for the Solandarians, and meanwhile, Theo and Sophia have a difficult conversation about Theo's decision of how to regain balance in the New Integral Society. The full audiobook is available at Amazon, Audible, and the Apple Bookstore, and the full-color AI-imagined art illustrated version is available at my Patreon Shop.

My guest this week is Spencer Burton, founder of Iboga Rebirth, the first and only legal entheogenic church in the state of Oregon that provides Iboga retreats. This interview adds to my growing collection of conversations about entheogenic churches and is another addition to those that are specifically in the great state of Oregon. Spencer and I had a lengthy conversation about his own initiation into Iboga, his time with the Bwiti, and how he sees Iboga as assisting in the process of rebirthing oneself into a more authentic and present way of being and living life.
