Episode 290: Welcome to the Psilo Sangha with Ian Wallin
2024/05/20
Info (Show/Hide)
Inspired by his recent post about receiving religious freedom tax exempt status, I invited Ian Wallin of Ashland's Psilo Sangha for an interview to share his story of the process of setting up a religious ministry for psilocybin sacraments. We met at Ian's downtown Ashland office where he shared his emotionally raw and surprising story of attempting to work through two different psilocybin assisted services facilitator training programs for the state of Oregon, which did not go well, to put it bluntly. In this lengthy and very personal interview, Ian gives us an intimate inside look at some of the problems in the state-run program, and how it inspired him to take his mission into his own hands and make Psilo Sangha official.
And here's an additional statement from Ian: "I'd like to start by saying thanks again, Martin, for giving me the opportunity to share my experience in creating Psilo Sangha and giving me the opportunity to introduce our church to the community. I want to give a big shout out to our amazing team and board of directors, Jaron Riddle, Anna keppen, Dani Thomas, Urith Davis, and Caleb Upperton, along with all of our beautiful supporters. We're an eclectic group from different backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities, and I'm just extremely thrilled we've found each other and united in support of this spiritual work and practice. I also want to bow and thank my mom, Jaymie Lujan, for being so supportive of me as I've tripped and stumbled and crawled and dusted myself off along this path. We've often had a difficult relationship but this medicine has been very healing for both of us. Our board is going to visit her where she lives in Oaxaca next year, and she's going to connect us with a traditional curandera, in support of our efforts to better honor and understand the indigenous roots of these practices. I know we're all really excited to deepen our relationship with this medicine and hopefully build a bridge with that community in Oaxaca."

Episode 251: My Scarlet Letter: Living with the Aftermath of Psymposia's Unethical Journalistic Abuse
2023/08/21
Info (Show/Hide)
Approximately 2.5 years ago, completely out of the blue, Psymposia came along and weaponized a then-five-year-old video of one of my public talks and through blatant distortion and radical decontextualization, launched an abusive campaign against me. Despite engaging in clearly unethical journalism, Psymposia's labeling of me as an "abuser" has been widely accepted, promoted, and complacently repeated throughout much of the psychedelic world. Their smear campaign has been very successful in getting me "cancelled," with a few notable exceptions. Because I'm continually coming up against the wall of exclusion that Psymposia created, I'm revisiting the issue here on the only real platform I have - my podcast. In this episode, I discuss what things were like before Psymposia, what Psymposia did and why it's unarguably unethical journalistic abuse, how I've been personally and professionally harmed and blacklisted, and issue a re-exploration of the context that Psymposia purposefully neglected. Ultimately, this is my request to have my case reconsidered by the public, hold Psymposia accountable for their abuses, and to encourage supporters to push back against the narrative they've created about me, my work, and who I am as a human being. Thank you for listening.

The conversation steers through current events and realities to experiences of healing, shifts in those seeking psychedelic experience, and the place of the unitary and connected experience in the psychedelic landscape as more fundamental and universal than the use of psychedelics for therapy or “healing.”

Episode 138: LAMPS and the Psymposia Drama
2021/05/31
Info (Show/Hide)
At the request of LAMPS, I've been sitting on this interview since April 11 when I had a 3-way conversation with Brad Adams (LAMPS founder) and Paul Lisy (videographer).

This is all coming a bit late in the game, as the desire was to have this come out after the LAMPSS event in LA the other week (which is referenced in the interview as upcoming).
