As society becomes more virtual and disconnected, many of us are looking for new ways to touch, feel, and connect. What is Kama Flight, and how can it be used with psychedelics?
In this episode, Joe interviews Jeremy Falk: certified instructor and training program developer for Kama Flight; and Dr. David Rabin, MD, Ph.D.: board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist, co-founder & chief Medical Officer at Apollo Neuroscience, and advisor to the non-profit, Kama Flight Foundation.
Kama Flight is a wellness modality for partners, inspired by the movements of Watsu therapy, Thai massage, 5Rhythms, tango, improv dance, and Acroyoga. At the heart of it is the dynamic between the two people engaged in the dance (the ‘base’ and the ‘voyager’), which touches on collaboration, leadership, receptivity, strength, surrender, and most importantly, trust. The communication and instant feedback shared between the partners mixed with the healing energy of the somatic movements results in moving stuck energy out of their bodies while also making them more comfortable with touch, agency, and consent – which could be extremely beneficial toward preparing for a psychedelic experience.
They talk about:
- The four principles behind Kama Flight: permission, presence, polarity, and play
- The humility and humor in people trying (and failing) some of the movements, and how that is healing in itself
- The huge benefit in people switching between the roles of base and voyager
- What kind of growth they’ve seen in clients over extended periods of time
- The importance of making time for pleasure in our lives
and more!
In addition to running retreats, Kama Flight is teaching their craft as well, and just finished their first training. They’ve launched an at-home course, and have upcoming workshops in Austin, New York City, and Miami, with the next taking place this Saturday, Jan. 18, in Mill Valley, CA.
