In this episode, we toast to the beginning of an exciting and hopefully groundbreaking 2024 by switching things up a bit. Christopher Koddermann, Co-Founder and Chair of Board of the International Therapeutic Psilocybin Rescheduling Initiative (ITPRI) will be conducting some interviews for PT, and in this episode, he does his first \u2013 with our Co-Founders, Joe Moore and Kyle Buller.
Kyle tells the story of his fateful New Years Eve snowboarding trip that resulted in a near death experience and a complete change in his life\u2019s trajectory, and Joe discusses his more academic roots and how he and Kyle were united through their shared passion for the work of Stan Grof, holotropic breathwork, and transpersonal psychology. Psychedelics Today was created largely with no aims other than to promote transpersonal psychology and archive the best insights from their mentors, but has obviously turned into so much more, mostly from the simple goal of trying to spread the word through interesting conversations.
They talk about the growth of PT; how they got involved in education; the harms of the drug war; why decriminalization isn\u2019t enough; where they see \u2018the psychedelic renaissance\u2019 going; what has surprised them the most in the last few years; and what we\u2019re most proud of: Vital \u2013 how it came to be created, what\u2019s involved, the benefits of the retreats, the self-discovery they\u2019ve witnessed, and what they\u2019ve learned through two successful cohorts.
The next edition of Vital begins on January 23, and\xa0we\u2019ve extended applications until January 14, so if you\u2019ve been curious if Vital is the answer you\u2019ve been looking for, now is the time to act!
