Universe Within Podcast Ep142 - Jason Grechanik - Tobacco, Plants, Dreaming & the Imagination

Hey everybody! Episode 142 of the show is out. In this episode, I am releasing a podcast where I was interviewed by Shonagh Home. Shonagh was one my podcast a while back and invited me to be on her’s, called The Mushroom’s Apprentice. I really enjoyed speaking with Shonagh and she is a really good interviewer and asked really deep questions. We spoke about my background, plant medicines, ayahuasca and tobacco, trees, the traditional process of dieta, indigenous and Western cosmovisions, dreaming and the imagination, and humanity and the mind in general. I really enjoyed being on her podcast and I hope you all find this conversation deep and insightful. Please note this episode is AUDIO ONLY. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!
