My guest this week is Heather Smith who runs The Moxie School in Asheville, NC (not to be confused with my home town of Ashland, Or!). At the Moxie School, Heather focuses on training individuals in the use of Internal Family Systems Therapy in conjunction with Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. This conversation adds to the growing body of interest in how these two work together and compliment each other. Heather has courses available this coming fall for anyone who's interested in learning more about these modalities - visit her website online at the Moxie School

With chapter 25, we're closing in on the conclusion of The Fate of Miraanni! There will only be one more podcast episode with the final 3 chapters of the audiobook to be released in 2 weeks from today. Next up, I'll be sharing chapters from volume III of Tales of Aurduin, The Alchemist and the Eagle. If you've missed anything, the full audiobook is available at Audible, Amazon, and the Apple Bookstore. And, the soundtrack of original music used in this audiobook is available at all major digital music outlets. I hope you enjoy this penultimate episode of The Fate of Miraanni!

Tom Hatsis has just released his latest book, Psychedelic Injustice: How Identity Politics Poisons the Psychedelic Renaissance, and he joined me for a detailed conversation about it last week. In this book, Tom takes a critical eye on various ways that the "culture wars" have impacted the contemporary psychedelic movement where, in his assessment, narratives and ideologies have created divisiveness, lack of historical accuracy, and promoted over-simplified notions of truth and power to the detriment of psychedelic culture. As usual, Tom comes with detailed research, carefully curated references, and is willing to ask uncomfortable questions to find clarity.
