In this conversation Marissa Feinberg and me explore the intersection of psychedelics and climate action, discussing how psychedelics can foster a sense of oneness with nature and help alleviate eco-anxiety. We delve into the growing recognition of eco-anxiety in psychology, the shift of climate issues from fringe to mainstream, and the role of youth activism through movements like Fridays for Future. The discussion also touches on the importance of community, the impact of personal choices on climate guilt, and the transformative potential of psychedelics in fostering compassion and empathy towards the environment. We also explore the intersection of climate action and psychedelics, discussing the challenges of climate messaging, the importance of community and personal connections, and innovative solutions to environmental issues. So how can psychedelics facilitate self-discovery and a reconnection to nature, while also emphasizing the need for localized climate initiatives and collective healing. This dialogue highlights the urgency of accelerating consciousness shifts to inspire meaningful climate action. TAKEAWAYS Psychedelics can inspire a profound oneness with all life. Eco-anxiety is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology. A consciousness shift is necessary for meaningful climate action. Psychedelics can help individuals reconnect with nature and their agency. Climate guilt can arise from awareness of personal choices impacting the environment. Community engagement is essential for collective climate action. Experiencing psychedelics can enhance compassion and empathy towards the environment. The climate crisis is increasingly recognized as a mental health issue. Shifting from numbing to caring about the environment is vital for progress. Funding cuts can hinder climate organizations' messaging. Psychedelics can lead to deeper self-awareness and healing. Experiences in nature can foster a sense of peace and connection.

IS THE WEST ON ITS OWN HEALING JOURNEY? SHOWS LIKE "THE WHITE LOTUS" AND THE RISE OF AYAHUASCA IN THE WESTERN WORLD SHOW HOW MUCH WE ARE IN NEED OF TOOLS. BUT WE DID NOT CREATE THESE TOOLS BY OURSELVES. MY GUEST TODAY, DR. SERGIO PEREZ ROSAL IS THE PERFECT PARTNER TO TALK ABOUT THE IDEA OF BRIDGING DIFFERENT CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES, ACKNOWLEDGING BOTH THE CHALLENGES AND TEACHINGS FROM VARIOUS TRADITIONS AND HOW TO BE AWARE OF RECIPROCITY, IF IT COMES TO INDIGENOUS CULTURES. DR. SERGIO PÉREZ ROSAL IS A PIONEER IN INTEGRATING TRADITIONAL MEDICINE WITH PSYCHEDELIC TREATMENTS. WITH A BACKGROUND IN ANESTHESIA AND EMERGENCY MEDICINE, HE ADVOCATES FOR A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH. HIS 'FUNDAMENTALS OF HEALTH' CONCEPT COMBINES PSYCHEDELICS, LIFESTYLE CHANGES, AND MINDFULNESS TO ENHANCE WELL-BEING. AS A FACULTY MEMBER IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA’S PSYCHEDELIC AND CONSCIOUSNESS STUDIES PROGRAM, HE LEADS IN PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. FEATURED IN HIS TEDX TALK AND OUTLETS LIKE FORBES, SERGIO ENVISIONS A FUTURE WHERE HEALTH IS CULTIVATED THROUGH THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF PSYCHEDELICS. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: CULTURAL CRISIS: THE WEST FACES A CRISIS NOT JUST OF MENTAL HEALTH BUT OF MEANING, DRIVEN BY MATERIALISM AND DISCONNECTION FROM SPIRITUAL VALUES. ROMANTICIZATION OF OTHER CULTURES: THERE IS A TENDENCY TO OVERLY ROMANTICIZE EASTERN AND INDIGENOUS CULTURES AS SOLUTIONS TO WESTERN SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS, OVERLOOKING THEIR COMPLEXITIES AND CHALLENGES. THE USE OF PSYCHEDELICS IN THESE CULTURES IMPORTANCE OF RECIPROCITY: ENGAGING WITH INDIGENOUS PRACTICES REQUIRES AN UNDERSTANDING OF RECIPROCITY, RESPECT, AND CULTURAL SENSITIVITY, FOSTERING TRUE INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGE. PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION: SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES FROM PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCES DEPEND ON PROPER GUIDANCE, INTENTION, AND POST-EXPERIENCE INTEGRATION RATHER THAN RELYING SOLELY ON THE MATERIALS THEMSELVES. BUILDING BRIDGES: INITIATIVES THAT MERGE WESTERN AND INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES CAN CREATE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND HEALING, BENEFITING BOTH COMMUNITIES IN NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SPIRITUALITY.

This conversation with Talia Eisenberg and Tom Feegel from Beond delves into the evolving landscape of Ibogaine as a treatment for addiction and mental health issues. We discuss the increasing mainstream acceptance of Ibogaine, its cultural and spiritual significance, and the unique experiences it offers compared to other psychedelics. And we emphasize the importance of understanding both the scientific and traditional contexts of Ibogaine, as well as the personal journeys individuals undergo during treatment. We discuss the importance of community support in the healing process, the challenges of navigating relationships post-recovery, and the need for a deeper understanding of addiction as a response to underlying pain. Finally, we share the vision for the future of Beyond, emphasizing the need for expanded access to effective healing technologies and the importance of research and policy change. And we discuss a topic on the rise: addiction. Here are the most important takeaways: Ibogaine’s Growing Acceptance – It is becoming more mainstream with significant potential for addiction and PTSD treatment. Deep Healing & Reset – Ibogaine offers a unique, long-lasting journey (up to 48 hours) that resets brain chemistry and supports emotional healing. Cultural & Spiritual Significance – Understanding its roots and integrating both clinical and spiritual aspects is essential. Commitment to Change – True healing requires a willingness to transform, reframe identity, and navigate shifts in relationships. Community & Support – Peer support and shared experiences enhance the healing journey and prevent isolation. Addiction & Trauma Connection – Addiction often stems from emotional pain, trauma, or spiritual disconnection. Expanding Access – Healing technologies should be democratized, integrated into healthcare, and backed by research and data sharing. Find BEOND here.
