I'm excited to share that I was recently on an episode of the Divergent States podcast!
Check out a clip here.
Listen to the full episode here:
Seven Principles of the Psychonaut – Divergent States
In this episode, titled “Seven Principles of the Psychonaut,” I join "3L1T3" and Bryan for an expansive and grounded conversation on what it means to navigate the psychedelic space with intention, responsibility, and reverence. 3L1T3 is the volunteer founder of the Psychonaut subreddit with over 500k members, and Bryan is a USMC veteran passionate about psychedelics for therapeutic healing, explores the intersection of psychedelics, science, spirituality, and culture.
We dive into:
The core principles that can help guide a safe and transformative psychedelic experience
Harm reduction, substance testing, and staying safe
Ego dissolution vs. ego inflation in the psychedelic space
Psychedelic diversity, inclusion, and ethical use
Integration as an everyday spiritual practice
Why set, setting, and intention still matter more than hype
Why integration is just as important—if not more—than the journey itself
The importance of curiosity, humility, and self-responsibility for anyone walking the psychonaut path
Whether you’re new to psychedelics or have been walking this path for years, this episode offers reflections and frameworks to support conscious exploration.
I’d love to hear your thoughts—feel free to reach out if anything resonates.
