<![CDATA[Holotropic Journeys]]>Some experiences change the shape of a life. This is where we talk about them.


The Holotropic Journeys podcast is a gathering place for the holotropic community. Facilitated by Wilde Lawson-King, each non-ordinary conversation journeys with a fellow psychonaut whose life has been expanded and remade by holotropic states and the work of Stan Grof.


The conversations explore the vast territory of this work, through art, spirituality, archetypes, healing, integration and community, where it came from and where it is going. Beneath them all runs one question: what does it mean to move towards wholeness?
