Nicole Daedone is an American author, entrepreneur, and advocate best known for popularizing Orgasmic Meditation (OM), a mindfulness practice combining meditation and physical connection. She is the founder of OneTaste, a company that taught OM as a pathway to deeper intimacy and personal transformation. Daedone also authored Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm, which explores her philosophy of mindfulness and connection in relationships.
OneTaste gained widespread attention for its unique approach to sexual wellness, praised for innovation but also criticized for alleged high-pressure sales tactics and cult-like dynamics. In recent years, Daedone and OneTaste have faced serious allegations, including accusations of human trafficking, labor exploitation, and creating a coercive environment for participants and employees. In 2023, Daedone and a former executive were indicted on charges related to forced labor, which they have denied.
Beyond her work with OneTaste, Daedone has explored broader spiritual themes, including conducting workshops on “cancelling as a spiritual practice.” These workshops reportedly focused on addressing societal judgments and exploring the dynamics of public shaming and social exclusion. Her framing of cancellation as a spiritual inquiry has been both lauded for its boldness and criticized for its potential to deflect accountability.
Daedone remains a polarizing figure, with a legacy marked by innovative contributions to discussions on intimacy and sexuality, alongside ongoing scrutiny over her methods and the ethical implications of her practices.

Some Thoughts on Cancel Culture
The harms of cancel culture can be significant, particularly when it is applied in ways that prioritize public shaming or social exclusion over dialogue and accountability. Here are some key concerns often raised:
1. Erosion of Nuance
Cancel culture often thrives in environments like social media, where complex issues are reduced to soundbites or hashtags. This can lead to oversimplified narratives that fail to capture the context or intent behind someone’s actions or words.
2. Chilling Effects on Free Expression
The fear of being "cancelled" can discourage individuals from expressing opinions, even in good faith, or from engaging in meaningful conversations about controversial topics. This can stifle intellectual and cultural progress.
3. Lack of Due Process
In many cases, accusations and judgments are made in the court of public opinion rather than through established processes. This can lead to disproportionate consequences, especially when individuals are denied the opportunity to explain or defend themselves.
4. Impact on Mental Health
Being publicly "cancelled" can result in severe emotional and psychological distress for the individual targeted. It may also have financial and professional repercussions, contributing to a sense of isolation and despair.
5. Risk of Mob Mentality
Cancel culture can sometimes foster mob behavior, where collective outrage escalates without critical examination. This may amplify harm and encourage performative, rather than meaningful, activism.
6. Undermining Redemption
A culture of cancellation often leaves little room for growth, learning, or redemption. When individuals are permanently ostracized, it can discourage them—and others—from engaging in restorative or educational efforts.
7. Collateral Damage
Cancellations can affect not only the targeted individuals but also their families, colleagues, and communities. Entire organizations or movements can suffer when a single individual’s actions lead to broad-based condemnations.
8. Misuse as a Tool of...

Every single one of us is on a personal growth journey. Whether you have admitted it or not, you desire to have more, do more, succeed and accomplish more than you have. So, what's stopping you? Probably yourself, or your old patterns. The upcoming chapter explores ways in which we can become more actualized versions of ourselves but before we get to that, in this episode Eric reflects on his own personal growth journey. It has been a rocky ride that's for sure, but as you will here in this monologue, it has led to some beautiful vistas.

I am super excited to share this episode. After recovering from the horrors of conversion therapy, Mikhail became a nationally renowned drag queen, who began a gender transition and then had a change of heart.
In this touching and somewhat terrifying episode, Mikhail recounts the trauma of being kidnapped and taken off to conversion therapy in a foreign country and coming to terms with his own unique flavor of sexuality.
This episode shed some light on the horrors of conversion therapy and illuminates the potential within the human spirit.

Get ready for a seductive chapter on sexuality. Well not really seductive perhaps a bit silly but certainly sincere. Why do my thoughts matter on your sex life? Because I'm encouraging you to audaciously embrace your desires! Recognize that your sexuality and your spirituality are more intimately connected than you and your lover/s.
In this chapter intro I will share with you my sexual screw ups, my exploration of ethical non monogamy and particularly what we as men can do to honor and adore the Goddess. This one took some serious vulnerability and quite a few takes. I trust you will enjoy and find value, particularly if you are a man, non-monogamous or even a woman who enjoys seeing men take ownership of their learned misogyny.

Monte Smith shares his experience as a modern mushroom revivalist. After decades of studying under Hindu guru's, being of service as a Christian minister and now reviving his psychedelic spirituality, Monte shares valuable wisdom on the nature of spirituality and particularly human tendencies to create idols out of ideas, exactly the opposite of what his teachers and all true spiritual leaders have taught.

Welcome to the first episode of chapter one. Over the next few weeks we will be exploring religion through a psychedelic lens with several wonderful guests, each with a unique perspective. This episode opens with a monologue reflection by Eric on the nature of psychedelic churches.
After that you are set to enjoy a wonderful discussion with sacred mushroom church leader GV Freeman joins Eric for a deep and broad dive into the subject of spirituality through the perspectives of Advita Vedanta and Psychedelics; which are thought-provokingly similar.
GV and Eric's perspectives coalesce into a direct and detailed exploration of what an ideal spirituality can look like inside and outside of the influence of the US Government and Western vs Indigenous tradition, how church community facilitators can navigate the difficulties that come from being in the crosshairs of the expectations of many different individuals all at once, and many other topics.
Super thanks to Gv for bringing his full self into this conversation, and for all the ways which his presence contributes to all of us as we strive to build a future worth wanting.

The time has finally arrived! It's time to break Psilocybin Says free from the psychedelic bubble it was incubated in. As intended originally this podcast will become more directly a psychedelic lifestyle show where Eric will explore a wide range of topics through the lens of psilocybin.
What are the changes and why are they happening? In this two-part conversation Eric will break it down for you and reflect on what has brought Psilocybin Says to this point. In many ways Psilocybin Says is just getting started and we are sure grateful to have you join us on this wild ride, that will just get wilder.
The first two episodes will be a bit unique but they will set the stage for what is to come! Please like, subscribe and share!

Peg Peters, founder of Gathering Groups shares his unique model for psychedelic spirituality. Introduced to the mushroom by his daughter, Peg became a believer once again, not in the God of judgment but in the Spirit of Community.
As former pastor who's faith in the 'church' was shaken by institutional homophobia and other religious dogma, Peg's spiritual self was revitalized by sacred mushrooms.
Join us as he shares his mystical experiences and newly inspired work with the world from his Canadian home. Energetic and optimistic, Peg was a delight to speak with. With very similar approach to sacred mushroom healing as Eric and Courtney, you can expect to hear more from him and his community in the future on Psilocybin Says.

Spoiler alert, Santa ain't real and if you pretend like he is to your kiddos, this episode ain't the one for them! But it might be good for you to consider the potential damage that perpetuating this lie to innocent little minds has lasting individual and social repercussions.
Just some food for thought but you can probably guess from the title what our opinion on the matter is. And Yes! our kids will ruin Christmas for yours! Just kidding! You do you, but this is what we think of the situation.
