In this episode we’re talking to the Co-founder and CEO of www.psychedelics-integration.com, Andres Rose, as well as two of the platform’s lead practitioners, coach Vismay Agrawal and therapist David Londoño, about coaching & psychedelics.

Andres Rose, originally from Uruguay, is the Co-founder and CEO of psychedelics-integration.com. He moved to Germany six years ago in search of a new life, pursuing a career, independence, and fulfillment. A highly goal-oriented individual with a background in business and startups, he also has a personal interest in psychology, history, and philosophy. Despite his achievements, including a German Master’s degree and extensive travel, he felt empty and struggled with anxiety and mild depression. His journey towards self-discovery began with his first psychedelic experience with LSD, which offered new perspectives but didn't resolve his issues. Skeptical of therapy, he explored more psychedelic experiences, leading him to an Ayahuasca retreat in Northern Europe. His first Ayahuasca experience was profound, providing insights through metaphors that required careful interpretation. This journey marked a significant step in Andres's pursuit of personal development and self-understanding. Now, he is eager to help others navigate the challenging path of finding clear and trustworthy support in the world of psychedelics.

As part of the ICEERS team, he coordinates the Support Center that offers integration sessions to people from across the world who have challenging psychedelic experiences.

Vismay Agrawal is an australian-based psychedelic coach who has facilitated over 60 one-on-one private guided psychedelic retreats and has worked with the Synthesis Institute and Psychedelic Insights, renowned providers of psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands. He has explored altered states of consciousness through experiences with various psychedelics, including psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT, ayahuasca, DMT, MDMA, salvia, and ketamine. Additionally, he is a mindfulness coach with over 2,000 hours of personal meditation practice, guiding hundreds of clients on their mindfulness journeys. Vismay is also pursuing doctoral research at the Monash Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies, focusing on understanding suffering and its underlying causal mechanisms. His interdisciplinary research integrates insights from contemplative traditions, cognitive neuroscience, psychedelic studies, and psychology to deepen the understanding of suffering and its alleviation. Through his diverse experiences, Vismay has realized that psychedelics are not magical pills for instant healing. While they may offer profound insights in a controlled setting, enduring changes only come with integrating these insights into daily life.

In this episode we’re talking to Marcel Braun and Nigel Pedlingham about coaching & psychedelics. Our host Yannick, Marcel and Nigel have been writing the academic white paper on Coaching and Psychedelics and so Julia offered to interview us so that we may lay out our argument in an arguably somewhat more engaging way and offer a behind-the-scenes look into 4 years of developing this important piece of work.

Hereby he establishes self-experiential rooms of deep psychological learning, using also non-psychedelic methods (meditation, breathwork, inquiry, circling) as well as counselling preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences.

In this episode we’re talking to Jascha Renner about coaching & psychedelics.

Jascha is one of the people for whom psychedelics unexpectedly changed their lives fundamentally for the better. His great curiosity and interest in psychedelic transformational work led him to found SET & SETTING in 2019. They help people use psychedelics to improve their lives. This includes various online courses and legal psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands. He also co-founded the coaching service UNLOCK YOUR SELF. He wants to enable people to also find the way to their true self - with or without psychedelics. Jascha noticed early in his work with his own feelings and emotions that everything he had always been looking for was already inside him. In the course of his life, he simply had forgotten to truly listen within. Psychedelics and other modalities empowered him to listen closely again for the first time. Psychedelics are, in his view, the most powerful tool to support this work - of course only with appropriate integration and reprocessing of what has been experienced.
