Welcome to MIND CURIOUS, a weekly podcast that explores the underlying theme of existential dilemma and where psychedelics play a role. Why have psychedelics risen again like a phoenix from the ashes of a global mental health crisis? Are they the elixir?
This podcast is designed for therapists, health optimizers, curious psychonauts, and those looking to explore the potential of psychedelic compounds. We dive deep and test our understanding of what consciousness is, while talking to experts in the field who are no strangers to tapping into the curiosities of the mind.
