Life is a Festival
Transformational gatherings, the communities they build, and the teachers who help us bring that open-hearted joy home.

We Can All Be Babes
Life is a Festival #36: Andrea Graham (The Librarian)
At Bass Coast, a beautiful boutique festival in the forests of British Columbia, everyone is a babe. What is a babe? A Bass Coast babe is a person of any gender who’s really feeling themselves.
Depression & Psychedelics: Dancing with the Black Dog
Life is a Festival #35: Dr. David Rabin MD, PhD (Apollo Neuroscience)
I interview my own psychiatrist about the myth of the “chemical imbalance” and how psychedelics interrupt neural pathways that associate depressive ideation with identity.
A Paul Revere for the Psychedelic Renaissance
Life is a Festival #33: Jamie Wheal (Flow Genome Project)
When the search for the Grail Castle becomes the prison of Hotel California, we need some tough love to wake the woke.
Keep Psychedelics Weird
Life is a Festival #23: Erik Davis (Techgnosis)
Where’s the true weird in the age of Donald Trump and weird weather? Is depression weird, or is depression when things aren’t weird enough? Is Burning Man still weird or has it become too mannered and too known? Are there degrees of reality? How can we serve the psychedelic Renaissance while keeping the weird alive?
Authenticity, Anxiety, & the Artist
Life is a Festival #22: Atish Mehta (DJ atish)
Atish gets real about getting real.
