Description

In this episode of ATTMind Radio, we welcome Oliver Quintanilla, director of the documentary Little Saints. The tagline for his movie is "eat a mushroom, talk to God", so you can probably assume that the content of this episode will be interesting, to say the least. His film was truly one of the most vulnerable documentaries on psychedelics I have seen (and I've seen a lot). It was great to take a peak at the state of ceremonial use of psilocybin in contemporary Mexico. However, I wasn't prepared for was the potency of Catholicism that is present within it! It was great to pick Oliver's brain about the evolution of psilocybin's role in religious ceremonies in Mexico over the last few hundred years, the connection between "spiritual healing" and physical healing, why he made this movie, and what effect he has seen it produce throughout its screening tour. And of course, we talk about how he got into psilocybin and the role it played in his life growing up in Mexico.   Full Show Notes: http://bit.ly/ATTMindRadioEp24 Support The Podcast PayPal Donation Patreon Other Options (including bitcoin)

Adventures Through The Mind is an interview-based podcast hosted by Canadian author and public educator, James W. Jesso. Although the show topics range---from spirituality, mental health, and emotional maturity; to love, relationships and sexuality; to history, philosophy, and neuroscience---there are two underlying themes that intersect them all: psychedelics & the mind. James W. Jesso is the author of Decomposing The Shadow: Lessons From The Psilocybin Mushroom and The True Light Of Darkness, both about his experiences exploring the potentials of psychedelics.
