Powerful medicines like 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum can be used not simply to bypass our current experience, but rather to help us un-journey right back here and now...to the non-dual realization of JUST this infinite moment. Psychotherapist and psychedelic guide Mira Funk shows us how. Video version here.This video may be a bit intimidating, but luckily I decided to use these medicines myself under Mira's guidance so you might want to start with my post-journey integration session. Here's the meditation Mira used with me to prepare for my 5-Meo/N,N-DMT/Salvia experience.Mira Funk, LCSW, (she/her) is a queer, nonbinary psychotherapist, transformational coach, and psychedelic guide specialized in serving 5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT (including analog ayahuasca), and salvia divinorum. She studied comparative literature at Harvard, psychodynamic psychotherapy at Smith College School for Social Work, and psychedelic facilitation at InnerTrek. Based in Corvallis, Oregon, she is the founder of Unjourneying, a private therapy and coaching practice where she is passionately committed to optimizing her clients' psychedelic growth with a blend of somatic, mindfulness-based, and nondual integration approaches. Contact Mira to learn more about her approach on her Website, YouTube Channel, or Podcast, and follow her here.READ THIS:These medicines are NOT for everyone, and this video does not represent medical advice. Only use these medicines in locations where they are legal under the supervision of a professional guide.Consult with a psychedelically informed healthcare practitioner like Dr. Ben Malcolm to ensure you are medically cleared for your psychedelic retreat and that you won't have any dangerous interactions with your medications or supplements.Do not use psychedelics if you have heart problems, a seizure disorder, are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if you have a personal or family history of psychosis, or are experiencing suicidality or other acute mental health symptoms. Please seek the support of a mental health professional if you are facing a mental health crisis.Clinical research is showing that psychedelics can have anti-inflammatory effects. But note that when it comes to some chronic neuroinflammatory disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis or Lyme Disease, there is anecdotal evidence that psychedelics can be helpful; and also that they can trigger flare-ups. Mira has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease & Babesiosis, has experienced both healing and also inflammatory effects from psychedelic use, so if you have a neuroinflammatory disorder and want to explore psychedelics, it's best to proceed with caution in consultation with your doctor and to start with small doses or microdoses to see how you respond.Timecodes:00:00 Intro/Disclaimer02:10 Introduction, Mira’s awakening/seeking journey, time in a Korean monastery, learning to meditate, refining practice into letting go, the nature of thought, spiritual bypass23:12 General discussion of psychedelic medicines, varying paths to awakening, Vipassana meditation, integrating non-duality, Zubin’s origin story45:22 Mira’s Goenka retreat experience, synthesis of non-dual teachings AND medicines, associated risks, Mira’s approach as a guide, her protocol & best practices 1:08:11 Overview of different medicines: 5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT (in combination with Harmaline), Salvia divinorum, lion’s mane, what is UN-journeying?2:10:44 Safety considerations, dosing summary, emotions reinforcing the importance of integration both before AND after, trauma-informed methods, using step-wise titration to safely customize experience 3:05:10 Difference between 5-MeO-DMT and N,N-DMT, more safety considerations 3:10:55 Routes of administration, specifically rectal administration of 5-Meo DMT3:33:53 Gender identity and non-duality4:10:47 Wrap upLearn more about your ad choices.

I tried 3 of the most powerful psychedelics known: 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum via vaporized, oral, and (*cough*) other routes...all over 3 days. We then filmed this one-of-a-kind post journey integration session with my guide Mira Funk. It's an epic unjourney right back to here, and now 🙏.

Is it possible to synthesize & integrate opposing views while avoiding both-sides-ism or an anemic middle that is dependent on the extremes to define itself? Award winning producer and storyteller Stephanie Lepp shows us how to heal our most pernicious social divides. Watch the video version here.
She's the former Executive Producer at the Center for Humane Technology, the organization at the heart of the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, which I analyzed in this video. Today, she leads Synthesis Media, an independent production studio devoted to accelerating the next enlightenment. Her latest production is Faces of X — a series of short videos that integrate different perspectives on divisive social issues. You can find Stephanie on Twitter @stephlepp.
Links to some of Stephanie's projects:
Faces of X — a series of short videos that integrate different perspectives on culture war issues, like gender, abortion and race.
Deep Reckonings — a series of explicitly-marked deepfake videos that imagine morally courageous versions of our public figures. Start with Brett Kavanaugh, and explore from there.
Reckonings — a podcast that told the stories of people who've expanded their political worldviews, transcended extremism, and made other kinds of transformative change. Start with these episodes, and explore from there:
The architect of Facebook's business model
The former protégé of Fox News chairman, Roger Ailes
A perpetrator and survivor of sexual assault who managed to work through it using restorative justice (intense but amazing story)
