ATTMind is an interview-based podcast focusing on psychedelics. It is hosted by Canadian author and public educator, James W. Jesso.
“My primary goal with this podcast is to explore psychedelic cultures, research, and medicine. However, attached to that primary goal is a secondary goal: supporting the personal and cultural integration of psychedelic experiences in a functional and healthy way. I move towards that goal by exploring the psychedelic field with a curiosity for 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.”
May Leitz joins us to talk about why we watch horror films, what personality traits lead us to different styles of horror, our culture’s tendencies towards the extreme (such as American ‘torture porn’), and the traumatic potential of the modern, quasi-abusive haunted house attractions.
Jean Robertson joins us to deconstruct the relationship models of the modern world and offer us insight on what humanity might look like if we were to evolve into a post-judgement, collaborative culture.
Christopher Bache and James Jesso explore the research and exploration that underpins Bache’s book Diamonds from Heaven: a twenty-year journey into 70+ high dose LSD experiences done with the explicit intent to map Consciousness.
From Terence McKenna as a pattern of potential consciousness analogs to The Christ to navigating the experience of entities in altered states, to the fundamental nature of reality as a play of archetypal patterns in divine consciousness, this is an interesting conversation.
Akua Ofosuhene is on the show to discuss the role psychedelics can play in dismantling racism in society, by helping us learn to let go of the conditioned beliefs we are taught to hold about race in general.
A somatic relational approach to psychedelic therapy attends to the healing process as one of remapping one’s interpersonal neurobiology through the relational dynamic between client and therapist, assisted by the profound states of consciousness psychedelics awaken within the client.
