3 Psilocybin: Wonderous world of psychedelics, psilocybin and plant medicine plus lucid dreaming with Fat Boy Slim

Chloe and Steph Season 1 Episode 3

This week we wonder into the wild world of psychedelics, psilocybin and plant medicine (22:31).

Chloe & Steph start the episode discussing dance therapy, Fat Boy Slim and Gabby Bernstein. Steph talks us through her brain health plan, and what do The Matrix and lucid dreaming have in common? 

Chloe takes us on her technicolor trip that explores feminine power, child birth, and her inner wolf.

Other things discussed:

  • Fat Boy Slim Bangkok set to dance to at home: https://youtu.be/TqD9fDx1SZw


  • New moon in Taurus 19/ 20th May

This new moon out of eclipse season is a time for setting intentions for the lunar cycle ahead.

The New Moon in Taurus brings a sense of peace and tranquility & invitees us to take it slow, enjoy the simple pleasures that life delivers us. Very welcomed feelings following the intense month of April / early May. 

Ask yourself:
🌑What seeds do you want to sow during this lunation?
🌑How can you nourish your body?
🌑What can you do to nourish your mind and soul? 💙🧿✨

  • Current psilocybin clinical trails  https://mindmedicineaustralia.org.au/clinical-trials/


  • Documentaries, books, other resources  on psychedelics:

 As for resources, we have loved the Netflix documentary, Fantastic Fungi. It delves into the history and science of psychedelics, particularly focusing on the work of researchers like Timothy Leary and Stanislav Grof. The series also showcases how psychedelics are being used today for therapeutic purposes, and features interviews with people who have had transformative experiences using these substances.

In addition to documentaries, there are also several books that provide valuable insight into the world of psychedelic medicine. One of our favorites is Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, science, and experience of psychedelic medicine. It also features fascinating personal stories of people who have used these substances for therapeutic purposes.

Other books that we recommend include The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide by James Fadiman, The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, and The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross by John Marco Allegro.  All of these resources provide valuable information and insights into the world of psychedelic medicine, and can help deepen your understanding of these powerful substances.
