Two years ago I had the pleasure of attending the World Ayahuasca Conference 2019 in the sunny Spanish city of Girona.<\/p>\n
The conference was an embarrassment of riches when it came to the opportunities to speak with knowledgeable people in the field, so I focused on connecting with those specialised in a topic I’m particularly interested in: the intersection of psychedelics and meditation<\/a>.<\/p>\n I attended a pre-conference workshop, Cultivating Meditation Practice In Entheogenic Plant Work<\/em>, with Galia Tanay and Ido <\/span>Hartogsohn, and chatted with Allan Badiner whilst we loaded up our lunch plates in the refectory.<\/p>\n Over the weekend I sat down with all of them to pick their brains on the theme and you can find videos of these interviews below. The conversations cover some rich and interesting ground and are as relevant today as when we had them.<\/p>\n There are notes below each video on their content. I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n Allan is the editor of Zig Zag Zen: Buddhism and Psychedelics<\/em>; a collection of essays, interviews, articles examining the two realms, their similarities and differences.<\/p>\nAllan Badiner<\/h2>\n
