#30 Psychedelic tourism, with Hamilton Souther

To name but a few: Psychedelic tourism leads to endangering the very species the ceremonies rely on, and a lot of the sacred medicines, from Ayahuasca to Peyote are threatened by extinction. The psychedelic sacraments are in danger in consumerist societies being abused instead of unlocking their potential. There are a lot of phony gurus and curanderos around in the market. And the market is very opaque - mainly, obviously also due to the fact that in many countries working with the sacred sacraments is illegal. A lot of people sell shortcuts to healing and enlightenment. There is little interest in setting standards, procedures, processes, and a culture of care - and instead, the market forces are taking over, creating the next gold rush. What are key learnings working as a coach and spiritual guide in the last years? What are the pitfalls? What are the lessons and iterations in teaching? How to summarize the correct approach? How did you make an inventory of your own teachings? We see a huge wave of people doing plant medicine but I personally see too little integration into everyday life, and also way too few offers in terms to integrate those peak experiences. Also, truly we need preparation for these intense, transformational spaces to really stick.
