  • Welcoming the Hero's Journey: The Path of the Campfire Astronaut

    The conversation asks what it means to welcome the hero’s journey rather than resist it: to follow the symbols that emerge along the way, and rediscover imagination as a form of wisdom. 

    In this intimate fireside conversation, Edward Crowe and Stephanie Karzon Abrams explore the inner landscapes shaped by psychedelics, creativity, ritual, grief, and transformation. Through stories of psilocybin ceremony, fire, music, childhood symbols, loss, and the strange intelligence of intuition, they consider how altered states can bring us back into relationship with parts of ourselves that adulthood often teaches us to quiet.

    The Art & Science of Music and Psychedelics: Now available On Demand

    A sweeping journey from ancient plant medicines to modern psychedelics, weaving science, music, and culture into one narrative. It explores how psychedelics shape memory, emotion, and connection, and how music acts as a technology of consciousness.

    Part historical excavation, part neuroscience class, part cultural sermon, this conversation moves beyond nostalgia to ask harder questions: how modern psychedelics were born, how culture actually moves, and why music appears at the center of it all as a force shaping identity, community, and the future of psychedelic therapy.
