Welcome to today's podcast. We have the return of my brother, also known as East Forest. Many of you know East Forest from an album he did, maybe six or seven years ago. It was called Music for Mushrooms. That's what it was for. It was for the psilocybin journey. And, you know, as he explained years ago when this thing was just coming out, you know, there was a lot of, there was only a little bit of music here and there that some psychedelic practitioners were working with aside from like a medicine man in Peru

who's actually creating his own music or she's creating her own music. But for the practitioners

in America and other places, you know, they're really left with classical and some of these

other things they could try to work with that weren't

necessarily designed for the experience. And so he designed a five-hour plus album directly in

accordance with the medicine. You know, you go back to our podcast from before as we go deeper into

his process behind that, but I wanted to have Krishna back on because he just finished

the Music for Mushrooms

documentary. And it's really cool. It dives deep in all this. There's a link in the show notes for

you guys to watch for free for the next two weeks when this podcast release. So check that out.

Don't delay. Watch it and share it with friends. I can't wait for people to get a hold of this.

82 minutes long. Christian is just a phenomenal person. He's a soul brother. We've had many great podcasts. I did a wopper, the largest dose of mushrooms I've ever done to his album. And he helped me not go off the rails. Even though I went off the rails, he helped ground the hell out of me. And he continues to help ground me.

You know, he's a, he's a dear soul brother with a lot of wisdom. And, uh, you know, at times, we're just shooting the shit, catching up on this podcast. And then he drops some deep wisdom. And I just love that about him. You know, it's, it's baked into every fiber of his being. the fact that he's done so much work on himself and has guided so many people he is living in harmony

and he's still a fucking human like anybody else. And he'll point that out, you know, he was buddies with Ram Dass before Romdoss passed and they did some cool work together. But he always say that, you know, like there's the persona that people see when they meet East Forest or the persona that Romdoss would get. And he talks about that in becoming nobody,

you know, like, hey, Richard Alpert. And he's, oh, yeah, you know, Dick Alpert and shake their hand, you know, with a firm handshake. And then, oh, Baba Ramdas, you know, and he'd bow with his prayer hands, that kind of shit. And so he just kind of laughed in himself about these different personas. Christian is a human like all of us, and he's also doing some great shit. And I just

love being around him. I always learned something from him, which of course I got to in this podcast.

So share this with your friends. Without further ado, my brother, East Forest.

Krishna, East Forest, welcome back on the podcast, brother. Been too long. It definitely has. It definitely has. You look great. You're always in shape. It looks like you've been traveling and feeling what do you've been up to, dude? What do you've been doing? Just MMA, man. I'm totally slaying it in the ring. Got your black belt. You've been training with the Russians. Oh, yeah. Yeah, man.

I've been working on a property in, an off-grid property in southern Utah, and it's basically just all physical labor and being outside.

It's brutal, but it's good.

It's the best kind of brutal, right?

Dude.
