Hello everybody. Welcome to Psychedics Today. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast. My name is David Drabkin and I'm your host for this episode, an interview with Ishak Beery.

We had this conversation in my house, and it was lovely over coffee in the spare room.

And he's a lovely chap, someone whose name I've seen for many, many years.

He's been doing his thing since the 1990s.

So he grew up in Israel, in a kibbutz, very simple life, talks about nature

in this interview in a beautiful way. He was part of that land and the energy of the land.

Went to America, earned his fortune in the world of kind of art and marketing, and then had a

midlife crisis, don't we all? And then his journey was becoming a shaman. So went to South

America, ultimately became initiated into multiple indigenous traditions, wrote some books,

one of which we go into a bit more details called shamanic transformations, true stories of the

moment of awakening, which is really cool to hear about some other people's experiences

at that moment when they were going through the healing journey, through that kind of transformational

space in their life. He's also got a great website attack called Shaman Portal, kind of a one-stop

shop with different shamans and organizations and retreats around the world,

sharing knowledge, really beautiful to see. And one of the main topics we keep speaking about in

this interview is that of soul retrieval and some of the kind of shamanic techniques in his

toolbox that he uses to help people going through those processes. All right. So before we

jump into that, there are three wonderful websites that are all ours that I want to tell

you about.

So you probably know, psychedelics today.com.

That's our one-stop shop for podcast backlog and all of our articles we've ever written

and upcoming events that you might want to go to online and in person.
