Adventures Through The Mind (ATTMind) is an interview-based podcast focusing on topics relevant and related to psychedelic cultures, psychedelic research, and psychedelic medicine. It focuses on supporting the personal and cultural integration of psychedelic experiences in a functional and healthy way; and always holding a curiosity towards immediate and valuable relevance to a person's lived life "The psychedelic experience really shines when we find a way to integrate what we've learned from it into our daily lives. My desire to help that with that integration on a personal and cultural level is why I make Adventures Through The Mind" ATTMind is hosted by Canadian author and public educator, James W. Jesso. James W. Jesso is the author of Decomposing The Shadow: Lessons From The Psilocybin Mushroom and The True Light Of Darkness, both about his experiences exploring the potentials of psychedelics.James W.

    Psilocybin Therapy, Start To Finish | Dr. JJ Pursell ~ ATTMind 210
    Aug 7 2026
    This episode of the podcast is going to explore what actually happens inside psilocybin assisted therapy, from the first conversation to the last integration session. Specifically, we are going to be walking the entire arc of a legal psilocybin therapy engagement through the lens of naturopathic medicine: preparation, the session itself, integration, the risks, and how to tell whether any of it is right for you. Our guest is Dr. JJ Pursell. What You'll Learn About: 🌿 What naturopathic medicine actually is, and how its root-cause approach differs from the conventional model 🍄 What psilocybin is, and what "psilocybin therapy" legally means in Oregon (which is far less than you'd expect) 🛋️ Inside a session: the service centre, the eye shades, the music, the waves, and what a facilitator is and is not there to do 🔄 Why she requires every client to commit to integration work before she'll agree to work with them at all 💧 What "alleviating suffering" really means, why it isn't the same as feeling good, and why the hardest material is usually the most useful ⚠️ The real risks: the bolt response, prolonged psychosis, cardiac contraindications, HPPD, and coming out the other side feeling worse 🚩 How to find a facilitator you can trust, the red flags to walk away from, and how to know when it's the wrong time entirely 🌀 Episode Show Notes and other Relevant Links 📚 Check out JJ's book Psilocybin Therapy: Understanding How to Use Nature's Psychedelics for Mental Health USA: https://bookshop.org/p/books/psilocybin-therapy-understanding-how-to-use-nature-s-psychedelics-for-mental-health-dr-jj-pursell/7796363e51a70603 CAD: https://www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781643262000/ 🩺 Dr. Pursell's website: https://drjjpursell.com 🤝 Follow JJ: Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn | Facebook 🍄 This episode is sponsored by Amentara.

  • MiCRO:16 — The Attention War: How Screens Are Hijacking Your Consciousness | Carl Hayden Smith

    MiCRO:16 — The Attention War: How Screens Are Hijacking Your Consciousness | Carl Hayden Smith
    Jul 24 2026

    Is your attention being trained the same way an algorithm is trained?

    In this micro, Carl Hayden Smith joins me to unpack what he calls the attention war: how algorithms and short-form media shape the brain toward ADHD-like patterns, whether you have ADHD or not. We also talk about what surfaces in the mind after a few phone-free days, and why Carl believes AI's real danger isn't sentience, but a mass hallucination of it: one that's already changing how we see ourselves.

    Peyote Is Disappearing (and the Law Designed to Protect It Is Part of Why) | Leonardo Mercado, The Peyote Lorax ~ ATTMind 209
    Jul 7 2026

    Leonardo Mercado, known as The Peyote Lorax, joins me for Episode 209 to talk about the ecological and legal crisis threatening peyote, the sacred cactus at the center of Native American Church ceremonies.

    We get into peyote's collapse in its only natural range, the contradictions inside the federal exemption that governs who can legally possess and cultivate it, and the Seed to Ceremony conservation project Leo is building through Morningstar Conservancy in Arizona.
