#20 - The Psychedelics-Integration.com Team

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:00:00 +0200

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.
https://www.psychedelics-integration.com/post/who-are-we-1/

David Londoño is a Colombian psychologist, psychotherapist, and integration specialist with 20 years of experience in traditional Indigenous medicines. He lived in the Peruvian Amazon for six years as part of his training to deepen his knowledge of psychotherapy, traditional medicine, and the bridge between the two. He has coordinated therapeutic teams in treatment centers that work with master plants and has trained staff in integration practices. 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. He also teaches courses on integration, ethics, safety, and good practice in the therapeutic application of master plants in non-traditional contexts.

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.

#17 The 'White Paper' Episode - Yannick Jacob, Nigel Pedlingham & Marcel Braun

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0100

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.

_______

MARCEL BRAUN has a B.Sc. degree in Psychology and is currently graduating in his master studies at University of Trier.

For several years now, he has been studying psychedelics as one important tool to access such deep learning states. 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.

YANNICK JACOB is a Coach, Trainer & Supervisor with Masters degrees in Existential Coaching and Applied Positive Psychology.

#15 Jascha Renner - Psychedelic Coach, Founder of Set & Setting

Sat, 06 May 2023 14:00:00 +0200

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.

#12 Lorna Liana - Founder of EntheoNation & The Plant Spirit School

Mon, 16 May 2022 21:00:00 +0200

In this episode we’re talking to Lorna Liana about coaching & psychedelics.

Lorna Liana is the CEO of EntheoNation, a media company covering psychedelics, plant spirit shamanism, and visionary culture. She is also the Founder of The Plant Spirit School, an online school offering workshops, programs, and 1-to-1 mentoring to individuals and professionals in the psychedelic and plant medicine sector. With over 25+ years of psychedelic exploration and 100s of ceremonies, Lorna is an advocate for the safe, intentional use of entheogens as a tool of self-mastery, as well as the practice of sacred reciprocity.

She credits the intentional use of ancestral plant medicines, such as ayahuasca and magic mushrooms, for healing a lifetime of racial and colonial trauma. Her experience growing up in colonial Hong Kong informs her work on plant medicine decolonization and inspires her to further the expansion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the psychedelic sector.

Having personally experienced the pervasive lack of post-ceremony psychedelic integration support in plant medicine culture, Lorna was inspired to launch the Plant Spirit School Integration Coach Certification Program, which is designed to provide plant medicine practitioners with essential psychedelic harm reduction training and support them in becoming thriving integration coaches in the Psychedelic Renaissance.
