Radical Wholeness is the Ultimate Reality

Eric Osborne — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Philip Shepherd is a recognized leader in the global embodiment movement, known for his work in integrating the mind and body's intelligence. He is the co-founder of The Embodied Present Process (TEPP), a set of practices designed to help individuals reunite the thinking of the head with the deep, present, and calm intelligence of the body.

Embodied Present

Shepherd's journey into embodiment began in his teens when he cycled alone through Europe, the Middle East, India, and Japan. His studies included classical Noh theater in Japan, and he has had a diverse career as an actor, playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago, and Toronto. He has also co-directed an interdisciplinary theater company and taught workshops on embodied thinking and spontaneous creativity.

Embodied Present

As an author, Shepherd has written several books exploring themes of embodiment and wholeness:

New Self, New World: Recovering Our Senses in the Twenty-first Century (2010)
Radical Wholeness: The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being (2017)
Deep Fitness: The Mindful, Science-Based Strength-Training Method to Transform Your Well-Being in Just 30 Minutes a Week (2021), co-authored with Andrei Yakovenko

Through his teachings and writings, Shepherd emphasizes the importance of listening to the world through the body's intelligence, fostering a deeper connection with oneself and the present moment.

Cancel Culture Has Met Its Match in Nicole Daedone

Eric Osborne — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Nicole Daedone is an American author, entrepreneur, and advocate best known for popularizing Orgasmic Meditation (OM), a mindfulness practice combining meditation and physical connection. She is the founder of OneTaste, a company that taught OM as a pathway to deeper intimacy and personal transformation. Daedone also authored Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm, which explores her philosophy of mindfulness and connection in relationships.

OneTaste gained widespread attention for its unique approach to sexual wellness, praised for innovation but also criticized for alleged high-pressure sales tactics and cult-like dynamics. In recent years, Daedone and OneTaste have faced serious allegations, including accusations of human trafficking, labor exploitation, and creating a coercive environment for participants and employees. In 2023, Daedone and a former executive were indicted on charges related to forced labor, which they have denied.

Beyond her work with OneTaste, Daedone has explored broader spiritual themes, including conducting workshops on “cancelling as a spiritual practice.” These workshops reportedly focused on addressing societal judgments and exploring the dynamics of public shaming and social exclusion. Her framing of cancellation as a spiritual inquiry has been both lauded for its boldness and criticized for its potential to deflect accountability.

Daedone remains a polarizing figure, with a legacy marked by innovative contributions to discussions on intimacy and sexuality, alongside ongoing scrutiny over her methods and the ethical implications of her practices.

Some Thoughts on Cancel Culture

The harms of cancel culture can be significant, particularly when it is applied in ways that prioritize public shaming or social exclusion over dialogue and accountability. Here are some key concerns often raised:

1. Erosion of Nuance

Cancel culture often thrives in environments like social media, where complex issues are reduced to soundbites or hashtags. This can lead to oversimplified narratives that fail to capture the context or intent behind someone’s actions or words.

2. Chilling Effects on Free Expression

The fear of being "cancelled" can discourage individuals from expressing opinions, even in good faith, or from engaging in meaningful conversations about controversial topics. This can stifle intellectual and cultural progress.

3. Lack of Due Process

In many cases, accusations and judgments are made in the court of public opinion rather than through established processes. This can lead to disproportionate consequences, especially when individuals are denied the opportunity to explain or defend themselves.

4. Impact on Mental Health

Being publicly "cancelled" can result in severe emotional and psychological distress for the individual targeted. It may also have financial and professional repercussions, contributing to a sense of isolation and despair.

5. Risk of Mob Mentality

Cancel culture can sometimes foster mob behavior, where collective outrage escalates without critical examination. This may amplify harm and encourage performative, rather than meaningful, activism.

6. Undermining Redemption

A culture of cancellation often leaves little room for growth, learning, or redemption. When individuals are permanently ostracized, it can discourage them—and others—from engaging in restorative or educational efforts.

7. Collateral Damage

Cancellations can affect not only the targeted individuals but also their families, colleagues, and communities. Entire organizations or movements can suffer when a single individual’s actions lead to broad-based condemnations.

8. Misuse as a Tool of Power

Cancel culture can be weaponized for personal or political gain, with false or exaggerated accusations being used to discredit others.

Balanced Perspective:

While these harms are real, it is also important to recognize that calling out harmful behaviors or systemic injustices can lead to accountability and positive change when done thoughtfully and constructively. Striking a balance between accountability and compassion, and fostering spaces for dialogue and learning, may mitigate the negative effects of cancel culture while preserving its potential benefits.

Chapter 3 Introduction: You Are More Than You Know

Eric Osborne — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Every single one of us is on a personal growth journey. Whether you have admitted it or not, you desire to have more, do more, succeed and accomplish more than you have. So, what's stopping you? Probably yourself, or your old patterns. The upcoming chapter explores ways in which we can become more actualized versions of ourselves but before we get to that, in this episode Eric reflects on his own personal growth journey. It has been a rocky ride that's for sure, but as you will here in this monologue, it has led to some beautiful vistas.

Thank you as always for joining. Links mentioned in the episode are below.

From Conversion Therapy to Queen of the Drag Scene

Eric Osborne — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 06:00:00 -0400

I am super excited to share this episode. After recovering from the horrors of conversion therapy, Mikhail became a nationally renowned drag queen, who began a gender transition and then had a change of heart.

In this touching and somewhat terrifying episode, Mikhail recounts the trauma of being kidnapped and taken off to conversion therapy in a foreign country and coming to terms with his own unique flavor of sexuality.

This episode shed some light on the horrors of conversion therapy and illuminates the potential within the human spirit.

Chapter 2: Reclaiming Our Relationship with Sexual Authenticity

Eric Osborne — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Get ready for a seductive chapter on sexuality. Well not really seductive perhaps a bit silly but certainly sincere. Why do my thoughts matter on your sex life? Because I'm encouraging you to audaciously embrace your desires! Recognize that your sexuality and your spirituality are more intimately connected than you and your lover/s.

In this chapter intro I will share with you my sexual screw ups, my exploration of ethical non monogamy and particularly what we as men can do to honor and adore the Goddess. This one took some serious vulnerability and quite a few takes. I trust you will enjoy and find value, particularly if you are a man, non-monogamous or even a woman who enjoys seeing men take ownership of their learned misogyny.

Are Psychedelics a Solution to Spiritual Suffering?

Eric Osborne — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Welcome to the first episode of chapter one. Over the next few weeks we will be exploring religion through a psychedelic lens with several wonderful guests, each with a unique perspective. This episode opens with a monologue reflection by Eric on the nature of psychedelic churches.

After that you are set to enjoy a wonderful discussion with sacred mushroom church leader GV Freeman joins Eric for a deep and broad dive into the subject of spirituality through the perspectives of Advita Vedanta and Psychedelics; which are thought-provokingly similar.

GV and Eric's perspectives coalesce into a direct and detailed exploration of what an ideal spirituality can look like inside and outside of the influence of the US Government and Western vs Indigenous tradition, how church community facilitators can navigate the difficulties that come from being in the crosshairs of the expectations of many different individuals all at once, and many other topics.

Super thanks to Gv for bringing his full self into this conversation, and for all the ways which his presence contributes to all of us as we strive to build a future worth wanting.

Peg Peters, founder of Gathering Groups shares his unique model for psychedelic spirituality. Introduced to the mushroom by his daughter, Peg became a believer once again, not in the God of judgment but in the Spirit of Community.

3/3 Trip Or Not To Trip.....With Your Trip Sitter

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 06:00:00 -0400

In this final installment of our three-part conversation around psychedelic facilitation, we discuss the risks and benefits of a facilitator dosing alongside those they support. It is a controversial subject that will surely gain more traction as we collectively mature as psychedelic practitioners and explorers.

2/3 Should Psychedelic Facilitators Have a Psychedelic Practice?

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 06:00:00 -0400

What do YOU think? Would you trust a trainer that never worked out? What about a celibate sex therapist? Yet somehow this is a touchy topic in the developing world of psychedelic wellness.

There is nuance for sure but why is it that so many psychedelic practitioners push back when we suggest that they too would benefit from taking the sacred medicines they prescribe, particularly when we know psilocybin benefits healthy normals (as if that's really a thing) or someone who is struggling with depression or some other mental health challenge.

1/3 The Spectrum of Facilitation

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Many often think about psychedelic facilitation from a this or that approach. Shamanic or clinic. Perhaps it is a both and situation?

Perhaps one is more relevant at different times and in different amounts than others? Remember, we are at the very, very early phases of nurturing a modern psychedelic society.

Queer Guy Gets a Psychedelic Eye

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0400

How many closets can someone come out of? Brian Buford left the seminary because it couldn't accept him for who he was as a gay man. He came to sacred mushrooms and was able to accept himself as he is more than ever. His incredible story is sure to inspire.

Brian is the Executive Director for University Culture and Employee Success at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. With 35 years of service to the university, Brian has dedicated his career to building a campus community where all students, faculty, and staff feel welcome, safe, and included.

Key achievements under his leadership include opening a staffed LGBT Center in 2007, the first of its kind in Kentucky; earning a five-star rating on the Campus Pride index six years in a row; and leading the effort to being named the most LGBT-welcoming campus in the United States by LGBT Outfitters. In 2020, he launched the Employee Success Center, dedicated to making the university a great place to work by offering opportunities for personal and professional growth to faculty and staff.

How to be a Real Psychedelic Leader

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Thu, 18 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Ten years, one hundred episodes, and a whole lot of ups and downs along the way. Becoming an authentic psychedelic leader isn't a linear path. There are few specific goalposts or benchmarks and the growth must be ongoing.

Personal growth with and without entheogens, honest self-reflection, commitment to community, and audacious vulnerability are qualities that we believe embody psychedelic leadership. It's been a wild ride and hopefully will continue to be a long and joyful one. We are so grateful to share this journey with you.

Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters over the years. We've got much more to give.

1/3 How to Prepare for a Psychedelic Mushroom Trip

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0400

Preparation is as much of the mushroom trip as the day of the trip itself. In this episode Courtney and Eric recount their most important, 101 approaches to getting ready for a planned, intentional mushroom dose.

These top tips are with safety at the forefront of mind and include having a person on call and nearby who is not dosing alongside you and who is basically knowledgeable and educated about the process of communing with the mushroom (see psanctuary.org for their 101 space holder mini course to help with this).

This is part 1 of a 3-part podcast episode series about eating mushrooms in the privacy of your own home. Stay tuned for our next 2 episodes on what to expect during a mushroom trip at home, and integrating a mushroom trip at home.

Know Your Psychedelic Rights

Courtney McClure and Eric Osborne — Mon, 16 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been wondering if you should start a plant medicine church of your own, this episode should give you a little taste of what that might entail as we talk with two attorneys, Greg Lake and Gary Smith, both experts and authors on the topic of Entheogens and Legislation.

We discuss resolved cases, pending cases and how to hopefully avoid any cases on this episode of Psilocybin Says.

Greg Lake is a trial and appellate attorney, entheogenic church consultant, author of the "Psychedelics in Mental Health Series," and Co-Founder of www.entheoconnect.com. His most recent book, “The Law of Entheogenic Churches (Volume II): The Definition of Religion under the First Amendment.” is a deep dive into the definition of religion under the First Amendment in light of the sacramental consumption of entheogens, the nature of the primary religious/mystical experience effectuated through the sacramental consumption of entheogens, and the ever-developing historical record evidencing world-wide use of these sacraments in ancient times. It’s available on a free or a donation only basis.

Gary Smith is a veteran cannabis attorney and general counsel to the nation’s oldest non-Native American peyote church, The Peyote Way Church of God, his book, Psychedelica Lex is a usable text on the laws governing psychedelics and entheogens. Its chapters cover international drug laws and treaties, the Controlled Substances Act, the Pure Food and Drug Act, the Food Drug and Cosmetics Act, the Federal Analogue Act, Preemption Doctrine, IRS Code 280E, First Amendment, Bankruptcy, Clinical Trials, Lobbying and Public Initiatives, and much more, all given in context to history, archaeology, anthropology, biology, and religion and spirituality.
