My guest this week is Christian Rasmussen from AMENTARA (formerly MN Nice Ethnobotanicals) to discuss amanita mushrooms, blue lotus, kava, and more. We get into dosage, experience, and why Christian feels that amanita is the most demanding experience of them all. Visit them online here: AMENTARA.com

Here are the next two chapters of the audiobook of The Alchemist and the Eagle for your listening enjoyment. In these two chapters, "The Mission," and "Gateway to Jeaniaurduin," Ashi and her religious followers make a territorial push into the interior of Aurduin to claim land back from the control of the invading Jolao Empire.

I've got a husband and wife team as guests this week on The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast - Stephan and Amber Kerby of Mindscape Institute. They've just released their co-authored work, The Embodiment Protocol: A Practical Guide to Awakening with 5-MeO-DMT, which is now available as paperback and ebook on Amazon. As this is Amber's first time being interviewed on the podcast, we devote a great deal of the interview to letting her introduce herself and her entry into psychedelic therapy and teaching.

Also, my 5-MeO-DMT Glossary is now available, which I created for our students at Mindscape and it's now out for the general public as a full-color art book, ebook, and audiobook.

Lastly, it's my birthday this week and I'm giving away my new album "Solar Return," which is available for free download at www.martinball.bandcamp.com

My guest this week is psychedelic comic book creator, Daniel Moler. We had a very engaging and wide-ranging discussion about psychedelics, representational art, the nature of story telling, super heroes, fascism, and the joy of creating good old fashioned physical objects such as will be produced with Daniel's Crowdfundr campaign to produce copies of his latest offering, "Psychonaut 5." Find out more about Daniel at his webpage, www.danielmolerweb.com

My guest this week is Clementine Kruczynski who uses a unique "private law" and "private trust" approach to establishing legally protected entheogenic churches. While I've featured lawyers who seek to apply Religious Freedom Restoration Act legal exemptions for creating entheogenic churches, Clementine promotes an entirely different route and is thus sharing with the listening audience a new way of thinking about legal protection. Clementine offers both individual consulting as well as classes and workshops on the topic and you can find out more about her services and approach at her website, www.themindofclementine.com

My guest this week is founder of Enfold, a full-service 5-MeO-DMT facilitation program near Vancouver Canada that specializes in 5-day protocols with both vaporized and injectable 5-MeO-DMT. We had an excellent conversation that, for me, highlights many of the things that I like to encourage with 5-MeO-DMT facilitation. To learn more about Steve's work, visit the website Enfold.org

My guest this week is author, Gillian Lepisto, sharing all about her new illustrated compendium of entheogenic and psychedelic plants, mushrooms, and more from around the world, Entheogenic Earth. We get into book and it's many subjects as well as the story behind the book and what inspired Gillian to launch this project.

My guest this week is Luke Jensen, vet and founder and CEO of NeuroEnlightenment.com. Luke combines the cutting-edge technology of qEEG brain scans and neurofeedback to help those suffering from trauma to optimize the healing potential of psychedelic therapy with ayahuasca and huachuma. In this conversation, Luke shares his own path to healing and transformation and how he conducts his work in Peru with small groups of patients combining science with spirituality in a trauma-informed context.
