January 28, 2025
Featuring: Nico & Susan Simon
More and more people are looking to have psychedelic experiences every day, but what do you do if you don’t know who to go to – if you don’t have that in-the-know friend that so many of us had? How do you find the right facilitator?
More and more people are looking to have psychedelic experiences every day, but what do you do if you don’t know who to go to – if you don’t have that in-the-know friend that so many of us had? How do you find the right facilitator?
In this episode, Joe interviews Nico and Susan Simon: Co-founders of JourneyÅŒM, a concierge service looking to address that missing piece.
Through a dedicated vetting process, JourneyÅŒM is adding a layer of risk reduction and accountability to this strange new world, by traveling the country and amassing a network of trusted facilitators who work with all types of medicines and modalities. By getting to know guides and seekers personally, they’re able to offer possible matches – and they usually agree on who would work best with each other.
They talk about:
- Their process for building their network and finding the right facilitator for someone
- Their concept of going “beyond the bio” and getting to the heart of what drove someone toward becoming a guide
- Susan’s struggle with supporting Nico through his psychedelic healing, and the need for support options for spouses not sharing in the experience
- The importance of community and the amazing work Nico has seen in men’s groups
- The healing powers of movement and living as your authentic self
and more!
