Kilindi Iyi and High Dose Psilocybin As A Form Of Martial Arts | Acacea Lewis

In this episode of the podcast, we are interviewing Acacea Lewis on the value and risks of exploring high dose psilocybin experiences.

Acacea Lewis High Dose Psilocybin Attmind PodcastAcacea Lewis is a devoted researcher and educator in the field of entheogenic (psychoactive) substances, particularly the sacred psilocybin mushroom. She’s the founder of Divine Master Alchemy LLC, Divine Master University, and K.I.M (Kambo, Iboga and Mushroom) Academy, with a mission to educate on plant and fungi medicine. Acacea has earned recognition such as the Cosmic Sister Emerging Voices Award for her work. Based in Oakland, California, she actively supports psychedelic communities globally, often sharing her insights on various podcasts.

This interview explores a number of vignettes into her scholarly explorations of psychedelic mushrooms throughout human history, and especially in various African traditions. But the two main thematic arcs we travel in the interview are the work of the late Kilinidi Iyi and the value and potential of high dose psilocybin experiences as a form of marital arts, primarily through the lens of Acacea’s personal experiences. 

(watch my interview with Kilindi Iyi here)

We end with a little taster of the lectures she will be giving at the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference coming up on Nov 3-5 of this year, 2023. Those talks being about the evolution of humanity from present onwards, and crystals as a psychedelic technology.
