🎙 Buckle up for a powerful episode, folks! Today, we're diving deep into the profound influence of psychedelic therapy on the veteran population with none other than Matt Zemon.
Matt’s story is remarkable—he was a successful businessman when a single mushroom trip changed his entire world. That experience led him to pursue a master’s degree in psychology and neuroscience, and he’s currently in a Doctor of Ministry program, exploring the spiritual dimensions of healing.
As a key advocate for psychedelic-assisted healing, Matt works with Heroic Hearts Project—a nonprofit that helps veterans access transformative psychedelic experiences in Central and South America and Portland. He’s also the author of The Veteran’s Guide to Psychedelics and Psychedelics for Everyone, offering practical insights on safe, intentional, and transformative journeys.
In this episode, we talk source, set, and setting—where your medicine comes from, how it's cultivated, your intention, your physical and mental readiness, and who you trust to steward your experience. We also honor the shadow side of harm in psychedelic pursuit and discuss what research really says about adverse experiences—are they truly negative, or can they be some of the most profound and meaningful moments of our lives?
