In this episode, we explore inner healing through altered states of consciousness. Joining me is Irina Vlada, a psychologist, author, and entrepreneur known for her pioneering work in developing holistic ketamine treatment programs that have led to profound personal transformations. 
Irina specializes in Psychedelics & Addiction Recovery, merging yogic tools for deeply life-transformative experiences. 
In the pod we talk about:
· Irina’s personal journey from the Himalayan yogic tradition to psychedelics and ketamine.
· How psychedelics, spirituality, psychology, and wellness intersect for powerful inner healing. 
· How ayahuasca can facilitate profound psychological and spiritual experiences, while yoga provides the integrative framework for embodying change.
· How ketamine and yogic techniques like breathwork can synergize to create a more comprehensive healing experience. Please note! Ketamine is not a recreational drug. 
· We discuss the work of MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, researching the healing potential of MDMA and other psychedelics.
The experiences expressed in this episode are purely personal and educational, and not intended for the promotion of ayahuasca, ketamine, or any other psychedelic modality.
