Listen "#33 - Where The Psychedelic Renaissance Went Wrong"

Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Episode 33 of the The Flying Sage (https://theflyingsage.ca/) Podcast! In this episode we will be speaking again Mehran Seyed Emami. Mehran was one of the first few guests on The Flying Sage podcast so if you have not heard his story already, I would encourage you to go listen to Episode 5.
Mehran Seyed Emami is an Iranian Canadian trauma-informed therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy practitioner. He is certified in Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Mehran holds a graduate degree in Integral Counselling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), where he also completed the Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research certificate program. He is additionally trained in Somatic Experiencing, Holotropic Breathwork, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
In his work, Mehran invites a holistic and somatic (body-centered) approach, grounded in a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens. His mission—like that of his late father, Kavous Seyed Emami—is to be a bridge: a bridge between suffering and healing, between our humanity and our divinity.
This this episode, we discuss the psychedelic renaissance and how things have been going in the psychedelic industry since we last spoke a few years ago. We also talk about Ravannama, the psychedelic society that Mehran is stewarding and building.
