Helpsychelles.

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space. This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And today we get to hear from an old, or I should say a young old friend of ours, Cat Lakey.

You'll remember Kat from several podcasts over the past few years, one in which she and her sister Alexa interviewed their parents to

talk about psychedelics. Well, then I talked Kat and Alexa into taking on the massive project

of creating an audiobook version of Leonard Picard's masterpiece, The Rose of Paracelsus.

And you'll hear more about this in a few minutes.

But I should point out that the primary purpose of this interview with Kat is to publicize her soon-to-close fundraiser for the opening of the world's first psychedelic

Athenum in New York City. And I apologize for only getting this out just a short time before her

fundraiser ends, but the request came in when I was in the final days of recovering from COVID,

and well, it kind of slipped through the cracks. So here at the last minute, I recruited Charles

Lighthouse to conduct the interview with the cat that we are about to listen to.

As it turned out, I think Charles did a much better job than I could have because, well,

I already knew so much of Kat's story about escaping from a Peruvian jungle during the early weeks of the pandemic lockdowns. It's a really interesting and harrowing story, but Kat has done so many other things since then

that I probably wouldn't have remembered to even ask about the jungle escape. In fact, instead of me

just talking about it, let's go ahead and listen to this interview right now, and I'll come back

afterwards with a few final thoughts.

Good afternoon. I'm Charles Lighthouse, the co-host of the twice-weekly psychedelic salon community meetings.

You can join us by supporting the psychedelic salon Patreon.

We meet every Monday evening at 6.30 Pacific time and every Thursday morning at 1130 Pacific time.

And you can be a part of the ongoing community talking about what's happening in psychedelics, your integration experiences, and more with Lorenzo and folks from the psychedelic salon.
