Summary

We were saddened to learn that Kai left this life on February 6th, 2016 due to complications from a fast. She was on the 37th day of a 40 day fast. Guest speakers: Kai Wingo & Shonagh Home PROGRAM NOTES: A mushroom expert, Kai Wingo's passion is highlighting the value of mushroom cultivation in the revitalizing of community. She is a mother, mycologist and lecturer on a quest to inspire reverence for earth's exploratory treasures and in the utilization of their technology and curative abilities. Kai feels that if we, women especially, learn to embrace fungi as our allies, they will heal, empower and transform. In today's program, Kai is interviewed by the salon's resident correspondent, Shonagh Home. [The following quotations are by Kai Wingo.] “When you use entheogens you truly change minds, and that is what will truly make a change.” “If you have the understanding that we are spiritual beings, the things that we do are spiritual. If we do it every morning, then it becomes ritual.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option You can find Kai and her grass roots effort, Kultured Mushrooms, on Facebook.

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

0:23.9

As you no doubt know, the word psychedelic means mind manifesting.

0:30.0

Of course, there are differing definitions of mind, and then what does it mean to manifest mind?

0:36.3

So, just for the record, here's how I see it, at least at this moment,

0:40.6

as I always allow myself the privilege of changing my so-called mind whenever I choose.

0:47.2

So to me, when I think of the psychedelic salon,

0:52.5

what I see is a place where the deep mind of our species is made visible

0:57.0

through the words and actions of one or more humans. We have certainly had our share of Terrence McKenna's mind made manifest here.

And by the way, I still have more of his tapes yet to digitize and play for you in the coming months. Now, if you've been with us here in the way, I still have more of his tapes yet to digitize and play for you in the coming months.

1:12.6

Now, if you've been with us here in the salon for a while, you've heard McKenna and others say that we have now begun a psychedelic renaissance.

1:21.6

Now, the definition of a renaissance, with a capital R, is the activity, spirit, or time of the great revival of

1:31.8

art, literature, and learning in Europe, beginning in the 14th century and extending to the 17th century,

1:38.7

marking the transition from medieval to the modern world.

1:42.9

So are we actually at the beginning of a new renaissance, a psychedelic one?

1:49.4

Well, just take a look at some of the people that we've featured here in the salon
