Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Have you met time travellers?"If time travel is a real thing, where are all the time travellers?" I've met time travelers. They're at Grateful Dead shows. (present tense!) Grateful Dead shows are timeless. Time travellers gravitate towards timeless places, I believe. Television and movies would have you believe that they flock to singular historical events, but that's only part of it. It certainly makes for better TV to have a bunch of agents bumbling around the Kennedy assassination than to just watch folks dance their asses off to Jimi Hendrix. I have to admit, though, I'd probably hit up the crucifixion if I had the chance. "If time travel is a real thing, where are all the time travellers?" They're doing cool stuff. Cooler stuff that most of us do, most of the time. And that's ok. They aren't at Whole Foods. They're not at the school drop-off. They're not even at yoga class or the Psychedelic Science conference. They're at the coolest, most fun, most interesting and awesome things that have ever happened. And we, for the most part, are not. Sometimes by fate and circumstance, and sometimes by choice. Believe it or not, sometimes we make the less awesome choice. We choose fear, we choose smallness. We choose not to go to events that are right there in our natural timeline that a time traveler would cross the universe to see. Psychedelic Integration means being a better time traveler. It means making choices that create a vibrant life. It means recognizing that our time is at once finite and timeless, that we are both eternal and destined to die. How do we choose with that in mind? Good luck, and maybe I'll see you there! The Golden RoadI don't have any events scheduled as of yet. There might be a few announcements in November. Until that time, I'd like to invite all budding and hopeful integration coaches to join me in my mastermind group, the Golden Road. I'll be offering teachings, Q&A, and coaching sessions every Thursday at noon Eastern. I'm still offering 1:1 sessions, but I'm suggesting the Golden Road for people interested in learning within a psychedelic community of serious practitioners. You can join here. https://tam.zone 5-meO : A Sacred Sonata in A Minor Here's the whole album on Spotify In case you need a little Lord of the Rings to go with your psychedelic journeys.

Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Your Inner Child Loves The Hobbit. The 5-year-old and I read The Hobbit over the summer, and it has given us lots to think about. It's also led to one of my proudest parenting moments. We were making sandwiches for a hike, and he was spreading peanut butter onto some bread. It was a bit lumpy and patchy, and he pointed it out, saying, "It's fine." I countered, "No, dude, spread it all the way to the edges. You got this." He questioned,...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. The hero in our bodies I need to remind myself to be the hero of my yoga practice sometimes. I need to remind myself not to let myself off the hook and play the victim. I had Achilles tendon surgery a few years back. It affects my balance poses. The pose on one foot is very different from that on the other. It would be really easy for me to write it off. I catch myself making excuses, telling myself it's ok to give up. It's never going...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Pumpkin Spice Lemon Tek Ginger, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Lemon, Mushrooms. It's autumn. Why not? There are plenty of people in the world who use peanut butter and jelly as their ceremonial offering. I've seen pictures of the little saints decorating slices of cheese pizza. To each their own. Spices aren't high on the list of sacrileges, I think. We're spice people. We love the touch of a cinnamon stick. The pop of a cardamom pod. The...
