In this episode, Joe interviews Jon Reiss: critically acclaimed filmmaker, author, and host of the Plantscendence podcast, which tells people’s psychedelic stories and is beginning its second season soon.
He talks about his early days of directing Nine Inch Nails and Type O Negative videos, and how Plantscendence was born after he realized that the conversations he was having with people about their most transformative experiences were perfect for a podcast. He discusses his first psychedelic experience with ayahuasca, how microdosing is helping him today, and his realization that people can get to these big experiences in many different ways.
He discusses:
- The two episodes of Plantscendence that stand out the most to him
- Using the term, ‘plant medicine’
- His 30 years of meditation practice and how it likely helped him to integrate his first psychedelic experiences
- The concept of plant intelligence and how plants can stop you from being a “consciousness tourist”
- Kabbalah, Kashmir Shaivism, non-duality, and his Shaktipat experience
and more!
