In this powerful episode of The DMT Chronicles, Dr. DREAM sits down with filmmaker and creative professional Chris Vellrath to explore a deeply immersive month-long journey into the Peruvian Amazon and the living traditions of the Shipibo people.

What began as a documentary project soon became a profound personal initiation.

Chris shares his firsthand experiences participating in multiple ayahuasca ceremonies, guided by Shipibo maestros in a remote jungle retreat outside Pucallpa, Peru. Over the course of seven ceremonies, he encountered vivid DMT visions, archetypal intelligences, jungle cosmology, and an unmistakable sense of dimensional reality that forever changed his understanding of consciousness. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level psychedelic storytelling.

Together, Dr. DREAM and Chris explore:

• What ayahuasca ceremonies are really like in an authentic Shipibo setting

• The difference between plant medicine and psychedelic tourism

• The Nuya Rao tree and its role in Shipibo spiritual lineage

• Visions of entities, the Jaguar Queen, and non-human intelligences

• Shadow work, grief, healing, and post-addiction integration • Why intention, humility, and preparation matter more than dosage

• The jungle as a living intelligence and spiritual teacher

• How ayahuasca reframes reality, time, and the self

Chris also reflects on how these experiences continue to integrate years later, offering insight into how plant medicine can support healing without replacing personal responsibility or inner work. If you are curious about ayahuasca, DMT, Shipibo shamanism, psychedelics as medicine, or the deeper spiritual intelligence behind these experiences, this episode offers grounded wisdom, lived experience, and honest reflection.

This is not hype. This is not tourism. This is a story of respect, lineage, and transformation.

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Psychedelics as Medicine, Dr. DREAM sits down with longtime friend, mythic storyteller, and consciousness architect Harold Hoenow, founder of Infinite You and creator of Embody (now Cosmic Herald).

This wide-ranging conversation explores psychedelics not as recreational substances, but as teachers, medicines, and gateways to expanded awareness. Harold shares his deeply personal journey with LSD, DMT, and other entheogens, beginning with his first psychedelic experience at age 17 and evolving into intentional, heart-centered, and embodied spiritual practice.

Together, Dr. DREAM and Harold dive into:

~ Psychedelics as medicine, initiation, and nervous system regulation

~ Early LSD experiences, portals, and cosmic perception

~ DMT journeys, including transcendent breakthroughs and challenging initiations

~ Sacred sexuality, partnership, and shared psychedelic states

~ Set, setting, intention, and sovereignty in altered states

~ Indigenous wisdom, plant medicine reverence, and collective awakening

~ Bridging mystical insight into practical, grounded, real-world impact

Harold also shares the vision behind the EmbodyNow App, a wellness and service-based platform designed to reward volunteering, stewardship of Gaia, and conscious contribution with tools for healing, meditation, and integration.

This episode is a candid exploration of transparency over stigma, experience over theory, and embodiment over escapism. It is a conversation for seekers, psychonauts, healers, creatives, and anyone curious about the deeper purpose of psychedelic experiences in modern times.

In this episode of The DMT Chronicles, a sub-podcast of Psychedelics as Medicine under The It’s All Good Show, Dr. DREAM shares a thoughtful and open conversation with energy healer, channel, spiritual empowerment coach, and psychology-trained practitioner Heather Zimmerman.

Heather brings a unique blend of science and spirituality into the discussion, sharing how her background in psychology and her lived experience with depression, anxiety, and ADHD shaped her relationship with psychedelics. From early exploratory encounters she playfully describes as “Legoland” and “Lisa Frankland,” to a deeply grounding experience of mental stillness in the woods, Heather reflects on how DMT offered a distinctly different form of consciousness expansion than LSD or psilocybin.

Rather than focusing on visual beings or dramatic imagery, this conversation explores how DMT can quiet mental noise, expand awareness, and support the integration of higher concepts into embodied daily life. Heather also speaks to how the same substance can produce profoundly different experiences for different people, the role of intention versus surrender, and why DMT’s natural presence in the human body informs her view of it as a potential medicine.

Topics explored include:

~ DMT as a short-acting yet powerful tool for expanded awareness

~ Experiencing mental stillness and relief from constant cognitive activity

~ Integrating spiritual understanding beyond intellectual knowing

~ Psychedelics through a healing and therapeutic lens

~ Respecting timing, context, and individual readiness

Honest, reflective, and grounded, this episode offers a perspective on psychedelics that centers curiosity, self-awareness, and meaningful integration.
