A psychedelic podcast Hosted by author, James W. Jesso.
Hi! I’m James and welcome to Adventures Through The Mind!

Furthermore, this website also serves as a catalogue of my larger body of work, including my writings, lectures, and more.

If you came here looking for psychedelic integration support, this page has information on the coaching I offer.
Danny is on the show to talk about his book Science Revealed, and the failures of our scientific institutions and their unreliability as proxies for sensemaking reality.
Antwan and Leor are two of the authors of the research paper “Relational Processes in Ayahuasca Groups of Palestinians and Israelis” and are on the show to talk about that research and the complexities of conflict and conflict-resolution it explores.
Ok, so in the midst of talking out some existential malaise catalyzed by a minor psychedelic crisis of, well, faith I suppose, my housemate says: “My name is…
Have you ever suffered the “Gloomy Tuesday” after a weekend with MDMA? Or maybe you are like me and it’s not just Tuesday but Monday through Friday and maybe into the following weekend. I get hit hard with the MDMA hangover and so I was SUPER grateful to learn about this hack for curing it
This was actually a live broadcast, which is always interesting. It was pretty late for me that day, and I wasn’t caffeinated… also I didn’t now much about Michael or his show and I was a bit uneasy with his questions at first. So I may have been a bit confrontational. Maybe not? You tell me.
“My primary goal with Adventures Through The Mind is to explore psychedelic culture, 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.”
His work is inspired by his healing path through depression, substance abuse, and trauma, and focuses on translating the profound insights of the psychedelic experience into a higher quality of life, for both the individual and society.
