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.
Throughout the interview, led by the inspiration of a cephalopod now extinct 66 million years, we explore what is means to live our lives in alignment with life, creatively, and with heartbreak, grief, endings, and death as not only necessary parts of the process, but gifts that can deepen, enrich, and guide our limited days.
I knew this was going to be an opportunity of a lifetime, not only for myself but for you as well! There was a unique dynamic between us that morning and I knew I wanted to catch it for you. Enjoy!
Tom Hatsis believes that in the psychedelic renaissance we must separate the modern lore from authentic history, a task he takes up by dismantling the tired and inept “holy mushroom hypothesis” in articles, videos, books, and this podcast, with a particular focus on Santa Clause, Christian Drug Taking, Jesus, and the real history of Christmas.
I WAS INVITED TO STAY AT TIM’S HOUSE DURING MY SUMMER TOUR OF 2014. WHILE THERE WE RECORDED THIS INTERVIEW FOR HIS PODCAST. We get deep into my process as a writer and an entrepreneur, from daily habits and morning routines to nutrition and movement practice.
“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.
