Iboga Saves: Ending Addiction, Event 1 Sept 4, 2024 Replay:
Anders Beatty on Addiction & Ibogaine • Episode 45 • Free •
This latest episode features Anders Beatty, who has created a protocol for pre-treatment ibogaine counseling and coaching that has become a fundamental protocol for key ibogaine providers. Anders shoots from the hip, which I so appreciate. He shares candidly about his own addiction experience and his resultant ibogaine treatment that dramatically changed his life and brought him to the counseling work he does today.
Anders speaks to the merits and pitfalls of Alcoholics Anonymous and gets into the psychology of addiction, which is the symptom of the problem – it’s ultimately about the relationship we have with ourselves based on our conditioning. Another major topic of addiction is screens, and he has a lot to say on that element of the addiction spectrum, which is a worldwide issue.
In the second hour Anders shares a stirringly poignant story about his Ibogaine experience that brought tears to my eyes and will stay with me for a long time to come. He explains the importance of preparation for ritual, and the essential need for pre-treatment to prepare the individual for the Ibogaine experience. We hear about the importance of integration after the fact but it is every bit as essential to have support and preparation before such a dramatically life-changing initiation. The insights and wisdom that Anders so generously shares will both inform and inspire, whether or not you or someone you know struggles with addiction in its multiple expressions.

Playing Cards or Map of Life? • Episode 44 • Free •
I have been working with tarot and other cards for the past twenty years and have always appreciated the insight received. For the past ten years I’ve utilized cards with my retreat clients and online counseling clients when appropriate, as a way to cull from the deep psyche to reveal elements that can be addressed and explored, and to draw forth counsel and direction. It has been only in the last few years that I discovered a system that uses regular playing cards combined with one’s date of birth to provide the most astonishingly accurate information on the personality and life path – or quite literally – the cards we’ve been dealt for this incarnation. In addition, with this system one can see the themes along with certain people that will be coming over the course of the year, from birthday to birthday. That in itself can be extremely helpful for that important head’s up of what’s to come. You can find your birth card on the image above.
My first experience with this card system was with someone who accurately predicted these last 2 ½ years of my life. In all the years I’ve worked with astrologists I have never received that level of accuracy and detail. Needless to say, this subject has utterly captivated me and I have made an earnest study of what is actually an ancient mathematical system with a specific structure and formula that is in alignment with the laws of earth and sky. Everything in a regular deck of playing cards is mathematically connected to our calendar. Who would ever suspect that?
In the first hour of this episode, I explore the history of playing cards, touching on cartomancy, then delving into the rich symbolism of the cards in this ancient system, and there is a lot of symbolism to be gleaned, I assure you. The second hour covers examples of the planetary influences over the influences of the cards themselves in a number of real-life examples of people I’ve read for. And yes, I am officially opening my doors to offer readings for those interested in exploring the inner workings of their persona and life path, their yearlong forecast or an in-depth look at a relationship. These readings are comprehensive and will provide those interested with information that is hugely helpful and illuminating. This is my new Readings page: (Link Here)
I will hope for the privilege of sharing in your mystery. Enjoy this episode!

“Religious forces are needed to overcome the egotism that divides humans.” Hex 59, I Ching
A timeless message from the Wilhelm I Ching. I so love this book for the wisdom it has given me over the years. I believe sacred rites referred to in the text below were entheogenic journeys, what else could evoke such awe? “Religious forces are needed to overcome the...
The Trivium: A Timeless Gift from the Sages of the Past • Episode 43 • Free •
I have been wanting to do an episode on the Trivium for awhile and finally, here it is. The Trivium means, “where 3 roads meet.” It is the foundation of a true classical education that historically included character formation and development. It’s composed of 3 primary subjects, Grammar, Logic/Dialectic, and Rhetoric. The Trivium is a scientific method that serves as the preparation for learning that has been used from antiquity through the centuries to produce thoughtful individuals who can reason and think critically, speak eloquently and persuasively, and hold knowledge from numerous areas of study.
The Trivium and the Quadrivium, known as the 7 Liberal Arts, are not taught in public and most private schools and colleges, leaving the majority of people bereft of this great cultivation of the human mind. It is reserved primarily for the elite private schools that cater to the children the very wealthy and powerful, similar to ancient Greece, where it was taught only to the free. The good news is that we can avail ourselves of this study to improve our grasp of language, learn the art of logical assessment, and speak persuasively and eloquently.
In the first hour I discuss the basics of grammar and logic and end with a few Logical Fallacies, which are flaws in reasoning. The second hour continues with the Fallacies and flows into the study of Rhetoric, where I explain the basics of creating an effective presentation. I also cover tried and true rhetorical techniques for speaking and presenting both written and verbal communication in order to stand out from the crowd. In addition, I discuss Aristotle’s teachings on the virtues, to inspire the mind and spirit.
Learning the arts of the Trivium delivers true empowerment and as well, it is the ultimate anti-gaslighting tool!
