084 | 5-MeO-DMT Deep Dive: A Non-Dual Experience That Can Reset the Nervous System

This conversation covers details about 5-MeO-DMT that have not yet been explored seriously in the public sphere. We go far beyond the basics of this medicine as Steve Rio and I explore the nuances and complexities of the non-dual experience and integration process that follows. We also get into the somatic and nervous system benefits of this medicine.

Steve Rio’s understanding of this medicine has matured and deepened since we last dropped in three years ago (for episode 8; a great episode to learn the basics around 5-MeO-DMT). Steve is the co-founder of Enfold Institute, a place to experience a safe and sacred 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. He is a true embodiment of this medicine: humble, direct, pure and speaks from the heart.

We recorded this conversation in late January, two months into my integration process at a time when I was really awakening to how powerful this medicine is. I share a few stories of some intense reactivations post-journey, and what I’ve been learning and integrating.

Enjoy this raw and clear conversation — just like 5-MeO-DMT.
