The Mushroom Community: Conversations with Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg
This series of conversations came out of the K-Dome, a virtual camp within this year’s Multiverse, Burning Man’s digital landscape. I collaborated with my mentor Dr. Phil Wolfson and the Ketamine Research Foundation with its Indra’s Net Coalition to put together over 90 hours of content on psychedelic medicine. I will be sharing some of my favorite hours with you here, and I hope you enjoy them all.
In this conversation, I sit down with my friend, visual artist Louie Schwartzberg. Louie is an award-winning producer, director and cinematographer whose notable career spans more than four decades. His prolific and breathtaking imagery from over 54 countries is featured in films, television shows, documentaries and commercials. We talk about his latest film Fantastic Fungi, and its powerful impact on the world during Covid 19. The film is consistently listed as the number one documentary on Apple TV and among the top ten of all genres. Listen to our chat to explore what makes this film so compelling for all of us, especially now.
What You Will Learn:
How Louie and his film, Fantastic Fungi, capitalized and catalyzed the underground mushroom movement for good
Why gratitude as a practice is such an important antidote to depression

Transformative Justice, Anti Racism & Psychedelics
This series of conversations came out of the K-Dome, a virtual camp within this year’s Multiverse, Burning Man’s digital landscape. I collaborated with my mentor Dr. Phil Wolfson and the Ketamine Research Foundation with its Indra’s Net Coalition to put together over 90 hours of content on psychedelic medicine. I will be sharing some of my favorite hours with you here, and I hope you enjoy them all.
In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Joseph McCowan, Charlotte James and Undrea Wright to discuss psychedelics, anti-racism and transformative justice. We talk about psychedelic harm reduction, anti-racism as a form of harm reduction. We explore the historical harms of the medicine community on the BIPOC community and how its still affecting communities of color while also leaning into personal responsibility. How can we be better with one another? How can we celebrate our shared humanity?
This conversation is moving into a 4 part series on social justice. The course will invite us all to confront personal bias through ceremony, and integration for collective liberation. Link in show notes to join.
What You Will Learn:
Why cultural competency is not enough and the absolute need for BIPOC representation in psychedelic medicine
The significance of the BIPOC community’s painful historical relationship with the medical community and the police in the United States
The breadth of microaggressions and how harm can be tied to inaction or silence; how to engage in models of harm reduction
The importance of joy and rest in sustaining anti-racism
