Summary

In this episode of the Align Podcast, I'm joined by two phenomenal musicians, East Forest and Jon Hopkins. I was first turned on to East Forest by his album collaboration with Ram Dass, who many of you know is one of my biggest idles. He has a natural talent for creating soundscapes that speak to the heart.   Jon Hopkins is an English musician and producer who began his career playing keyboards for Imogen Heap, and has produced and contributed to albums by Brian Eno, Coldplay, David Holmes and others. Both now specialize in music for psychedelic therapy and are working together on creating a transformative album.   These two humans together are an amazing combination and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation on how music is a part of human nature, the ultimate human experience, and how it can take our psychedelic explorations to the next level.   To learn more about Jon and East:   Instagram: @eastforest and @mrjonhopkins   Related links: www.alignpodcast.com/alignmethod for a special discount  eatonhemp.com/align and use ALIGN code during checkout to save 20 percent  drinkLMNT.com/align for a FREE sample pack of LMNT RECHARGE www.magbreakthrough.com/alignpodcast and use ALIGN10 during checkout to save 10 percent.
