SummaryIn this episode of How To Do Pyschedelics I get to speak with dear friend and brother I met here in Costa Rica, Samu Barnes – known for his Projects @alchememes (IG),  @bodymadeofstars5989 (IG), and  @SunRoseMus1c  (IG) In this episode, we explore the power of forgiveness with 5-MeO DMT, the importance of community and men's circles, and the innovative work being done with Gaia AI, his regenerative AI project focused on a sustainable future for all. From personal growth through integration of psychedelic experiences, the role of men's circles in fostering connection and accountability, and the vision for a future where technology supports ecological health.

This conversation emphasizes the need for community, the importance of witnessing each other, and the potential for technology to serve a living world that (surprise, surprise) will not go extinct, but grow on brighter and better than we could possibly imagine!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Samu Barnes03:25 Samu's Psychedelic Journey: The First Experience04:45 The Recent 5-MeO DMT Ceremony10:04 The Hug: Forgiveness and Compassion14:35 The Breakthrough Experience17:50 Introduction to the Conversation17:55 Setting the Stage for Discussion18:00 The Journey of Healing and Forgiveness21:04 Transformational Experiences and Insights23:32 Technical Difficulties and Integration of Experiences26:18 Exploring Wholeness and Integration43:20 The Power of Fellowship and Community56:15 Building Communities for Men01:01:47 The Role of Stewardship in Men's Work01:02:53 Exploring Technological Acceleration01:05:59 Creating a Universal Environmental Data Layer01:12:07 The Future of Technology and Nature01:19:16 A Vision for Humanity's FutureKeywords#psychedelics #integration #menscircles #menswork #GAIAAI #alchememes #bodymadeofstars #sunrosemusica
