Medicine Path Podcast

Starting in 2018 I began recording intimate and engaging conversations that explore the intersections between psychedelics, spirituality and psychology for personal and collective transformation. After a short hiatus I began recording new episodes in August 2020. In May 2023 I relaunched the podcast as Howl in the Wilderness. You can still listen to all the archived Medicine Path podcasts on the Patreon site, and many of them are available for free on YouTube or Apple and Spotify podcast apps.

Shamanic Yoga

A healing journey through breath, movement, sound and imagination.

Shamanic Yoga is a series of 6 instructional videos exploring a shamanic approach to yoga, combining breath-centered vinyasa practice with shamanic drum journeying and chanting with drum and rattle.

The shamanic approach to yoga is something that has developed over the past decade exploring these two interrelated paths of healing, knowledge and power. This is the first time I’ve offered this approach in an online format.

The Shamanic Roots of Yoga

A short documentary that traces the roots of yoga from its ancient origins to the present day, telling the story through historical art, photos and ancient texts.

This short film tells the story of how the first yogis who used the entheogenic plant brew Soma to access states of ecstasy developed the postures, breathwork, mantra and meditation practices of hatha yoga to achieve the same results.

One of my favorite (and most popular) projects.
