| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Joe Moore here from Psychedelics today, coming at you again from Breckenridge, Colorado. |
| 0:15.2 | Today in the show, we have Alyssa Gerski, a graduate student in transpersonal art therapy and much more at Noreopa in Boulder. |
| 0:24.9 | Alyssa has helped us out a bunch in the past, and it's just really been time to get her on |
| 0:30.1 | the show. It's been probably past time. So really excited to see how you guys like this episode. |
| 0:36.7 | She is very involved in psychedelic work. We actually |
| 0:40.4 | bumped into her at the Horizons conference in New York. I think the first time I encountered |
| 0:45.5 | Alyssa was on stage at a conference in Boulder, Colorado, at Boulder Theater, where Dennis |
| 0:51.4 | McKenna was on stage. I think Danny McQueen's organization, |
| 0:58.5 | medicinal mindfulness put it on. It was a really cool place. Actually, yeah, that was the same day I first heard about this DMTX stuff. And there was a really cool panel of students that |

| 1:33.9 | film, cartoons that are related to psychedelia. For instance, Hodorowski and Rick and Morty. So |
| 1:41.2 | bear with us. If it's a little kind of, uh, seems wandering, I think there's |
| 1:45.9 | some value in here, some gems and really hope you enjoy them. Also want to let you know about some |
| 1:50.9 | events that are happening in our world. Uh, I have two breathwork workshops coming up in February |
| 1:57.7 | over President's Day weekend here in Breckenridge, February 17 and 18. I have full |
