546 - Stanley Krippner at 90
I\u2019ve known Stanley Krippner since the mid-1990s, when he invited me to join him on a three week trip to Brazil. He\u2019s a world-famous researcher and author who has has hung out with everyone from Timothy Leary to Alan Watts to the Grateful Dead. He and I have traveled together to all over the planet, from a shamanism conference in Bavaria to a Psychoneuroimmunology conference in Buenos Aires to an adventure in search of the desert spirits in Morocco. We entered the \u201cSistine Chapel of Prehistoric Art\u201d together at Lascaux, France and visited religious scholars in Kerala, India. I\u2019m leaving out A LOT. He\u2019s been a close friend for 25 years, and was one of the first (and most frequent) guests on the podcast. Here are links to previous episodes: 5, 24, 82, 169, 211 (with Wim Hof), and 263. He celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday. This conversation was recorded (with Anya Kaats) recently. As you\u2019ll hear, he\u2019s sharp as ever and full of wisdom and humor.
