Terrain Theory
Terrain Theory is hosted by childhood friends Ben Hardy and Mike Merenda, two seekers on a mission to dismantle the fear-based germ-theory paradigm and illuminate how the body’s terrain—its environment, balance, and intelligence—shapes true wellness. Through insightful conversations with pioneering guests, we reveal how nature’s intelligence, ancient wisdom, and modern science converge in the art of true health and healing. Every episode invites you to reclaim your agency, recognize that you are your primary healthcare provider, and transform your own terrain into a sanctuary of resilience and vitality.

Nick Keene on Ayahuasca's sentience, shadow work nuance, and energy field medicine
Nick Keene is the owner and manager of the Egremont Barn in Western Massachusetts. He rejoins us for an update on his journey training to be a pourer of Ayahuasca, a potent plant medicine long used by indigenous peoples in South America.
In our conversation with Nick we discuss:
- His last two years training to be a pourer of Ayahuasca
- Trauma and re-traumatizing
- The importance of integration post-ceremony
- Plant medicine shadow work vs classic Jungian shadow work
- How to face the fear of that first time experience
- His suicide attempt and how it shaped his journey
- Trauma vs neglect and why the distinction matters
...and more!
