A psychedelic podcast Hosted by author, James W. Jesso.
Hi! I’m James and welcome to Adventures Through The Mind!
This audio and video podcast presents long-form, unedited conversations with various experts on topics relevant and related to psychedelic culture, psychedelic medicine, and psychedelic research. 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.
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.
Shelley and Charley Wininger join us to tell a story of great loss, one that provides the context to wonder about the potential of group MDMA experiences for grief and the recently bereaved, as well as questions about death and dying, feeling safe to be vulnerable, and the profound healing of togetherness in times of great loss.
We talk about floating (sensory deprivation tanks), psychedelics, my experience taking psychedelics while floating, as well as my thoughts on what the floating experience might offer the person.
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.
“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.
Adventures Through The Mind requires my full-time investment to produce and maintain. It is also entirely free — and will remain so — thanks to a community of patrons who believe in it.
