Summary

Guest speakers: Meriana Dinkova & Shonagh Home PROGRAM NOTES: In today's podcast we get to listen in on a conversation between Shonagh Home and Meriana Dinkova. Meriana received her initial training in psychology studies at Vienna University and at the Free University in Berlin. And in 2003 she completed her MA in Counseling Psychology at the California Association of Integral Studies in San Francisco. In 2010 Meriana started two different monthly Meetups, which have been successfully running since: “Get Out Of Your Own Way- Conquering Self Sabotage” and “Sex Magic”- . She has also been a featured speaker at the Visionary Voices Salon in SF where she talked about Sex Magic and different uses of sexual energy to enhance awareness. Meriana has developed a unique system of psychological and neo-shamanistic inner-space navigation tools for navigating non-ordinary states of consciousness and the Ayahuasca experience. Those tools are designed to maximize the experience and provide the opportunity for learning and healing, while safely navigating the inner landscapes, and avoiding common pitfalls. Learning how to use your consciousness in those ways can enrich your psychonaut toolkit and empower your inner shaman. Meriana also organizes retreats to Peru, in which she combines her work with experienced shamans.

0:00.0	Greetings from
0:02.0	Greetings from Cyberdelic Spaces
0:06.0	and I'm your host and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.
0:23.9	And today we're going to hear a conversation between Shauna Holm and Mariana Dinkova.
0:30.5	Now, during their conversation, you're going to learn a lot more about Mariana,
0:34.3	but I would like to add that she received her initial training in psychology studies
0:39.0	at Vienna University and at the Free University in Berlin.
0:43.5	And in 2003, she completed her MA in counseling psychology at the California Association of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
0:52.4	Now, in my opinion, one of the issues that could use more attention in the psychedelic community
0:57.3	is, well, for lack of a better word, education.
1:01.5	Education in how to handle ourselves before, during, and after a psychedelic experience.
1:07.5	And I'm not talking about just more books or podcasts, but hands-on training about how to best use these powerful substances.
1:15.2	And if you've been hanging around the salon here for a while, you already know how I had to more or less stumble and fall my way through a lot of experimentation that really could have been eliminated very easily if our community had a long-standing tradition of teaching one another how to best navigate psychedelic space.
1:33.4	Well, over the past few decades, a lot of progress has been made in building such a tradition.
1:38.8	And today, we are very fortunate to have with us two women whose lives are now pretty much shaped by building
1:44.9	some new traditions among the worldwide psychedelic community. You already know our frequent
1:50.0	correspondent, Shauna Home, and with Shauna today is Mariana Dinkova, who, as you'll soon hear,
1:57.4	is quite a remarkable person.
2:08.4	Okay, so I am here once again, Shana Home, and I am speaking with a really fascinating woman today, Marianna Dinkova, and I'm just going to read her bio, and then we will
2:14.1	launch into what I think is going to be a really fascinating conversation.
2:18.6	So Mariana Dinkova is a Bay Area-based psychotherapist, speaker, and workshop leader,
