Anders Beatty
Anders Beatty is a transpersonal guide, ibogaine integration specialist, and founder of the Good Life Index and The Metaphorical Cooking Pot, trauma-informed, soul-centered frameworks for recovery and personal transformation.

Having spent 25 years struggling with addiction, Anders speaks from lived experience. He views addiction not simply as pathology but as a shadow initiation: a painful passage that, when met with conscious care, points toward deep insight and transformation. His encounter with ibogaine became a turning point, catalyzing the healing that now shapes his life’s work. With over a decade of professional experience, Anders coaches clients undergoing treatment at Magalies Wellness, Inner Realms, Ambio, MedicineHeart, Anzelmo Ibogaine, Experience Ibogaine SA, and IbogaQuest. He emphasizes that pre-treatment is essential but often overlooked, focusing on cultivating profound curiosity as the foundation for transformation. He also runs independent ibogaine coaching and integration services, ensuring aftercare receives equal attention. Anders is a Director of Awake.net, a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a regular speaker at psychedelic conferences, and is currently collating his life’s work into book form on preparation, integration, and transformative healing. His mission is to weave science, ritual, and soul into spaces where individuals can safely navigate their deepest initiations and reclaim their lives with purpose and dignity.

This training focused on spiritual disciplines such as yoga, mantra repetition, meditation, pranayama, martial arts, sacred sexuality (tantra), and the ceremonial use of entheogens. Exploring intersections between nature, spiritual practice, holistic self-understanding, cosmology, mythology, and healing modalities fostered a deeper comprehension of spirituality and the interconnectedness of all life. Dr. Maclean Pagon’s unique synthesis of Druidic, Vedic Aryan, and Himalayan shamanic knowledge positions him as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern spirituality. He offers insights into how individuals can live in harmony with themselves, each other, and the planet.

Awake Board of Directors, Founder Psaequillibrium, GP, Psychiatrist, Rishi, Plant Medicine Practitioner, FEAT Care Team TOPIC A Holistic Examination of the Therapeutic Boundary:The initial premise is correct: the boundary between holistic psychiatrist and patient is not merely a set of rules but a dynamic, living entity essential for the sanctity and efficacy of the entire therapeutic process.Its thinning is not a sign of professional failure per se, but an inherent risk of the work, demanding profound and constant ethical and moral engagement.
