Ep. 6 — Claudia: Integrating Science and Spirituality Artwork

Ayahuasca Anonymous

Join writer and person and armchair comedian Nate Falkoff as he interviews guests to find out how Ayahuasca (and it's lesser known cousin, San Pedro) changed their personal trajectory. Ayahuasca Anonymous is an open ended, conversational exploration of the transformative power of shamanic plant medicines, told through the stories of other people who experienced them. It is also an examination of the collision of Western and indigenous cultures, capitalism and spirituality, technology and nature, and anything else Nate finds interesting.

Claudia is a social scientist whose research examines the medicalization of psychedelics' and the broader decriminalization movement.

We talk about the dynamics of legalization, decriminalization, and corporatization of psychedelics. More personally, we examine the enormous benefits of psychedelics used in group settings, the importance of rules and creating a safe container for healing, working with trauma and depression, how we view our long term growth from plant medicines, spirituality, and more!
