In times of political, ecological and psychospiritual crisis — the only way out is In & Through. Join Onaya as we welcome some of the most interesting people we know, to discuss eclectic topics from psychedelic medicine and Indigenous ways of knowing, to spirit entities, the meaning of dreams, and singing to the plants. Your main host is our founder Dr Simon Ruffell, a psychiatrist and research psychologist with a PhD in Amazonian ayahuasca and a student of Shipibo curanderismo. Onaya is dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional indigenous knowledge and modern science, including a not-for-profit research arm that studies ayahuasca and other Amazonian plant medicine practices. We offer one-to-one support, consultancy and accredited courses that combine shamanism and biomedical science to facilitate holistic individual and collective healing.

#1 — Ontology and Psychedelic Perspectivism with Dr David Luke

What is reality, really?

Dr David Luke has been teaching the Psychology of Exceptional Human Experience at the University of Greenwich for 15 years. He is also a Lecturer at the Alef Trust as Programme Leader of the Professional Certificate in Psychedelics, Altered States and Transpersonal Psychology, and tutor on the MSc Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology.

In a wild and varied research career, he has focused on transpersonal experiences and altered states of consciousness, especially via psychedelics, having published more than 100 academic papers in this area, including thirteen books, most recently DMT Entity Encounters: Dialogues on the Spirit Molecule (2021).

Here, Simon and Dave discuss the more extreme end of psychedelia, how they can alter our understanding of reality and connection to nature, and the future of the psychedelic movement in light of transpersonal experiences that are hard to explain within a Western scientific framework.

Dr Luke is one of many experts on Onaya's new 6-month Psychedelic Mentorship Training programme, with the first cohort launching later this month. For more information and to find out how to enroll, visit Onaya's website.
