The Psychedelic Closet Podcast
This is a place to explore the untold stories from the beyond, to help us embrace our full human nature. So if you like me, feel like you don’t have anyone to talk to about these magical, sometimes frightening, eye-opening, awe-inducing and mystery-invoking experiences, this is for you.
In each episode, you'll get to hear stories from fellow Psychonauts, Elders and Therapists about one of their psychedelic journeys and how it has influenced their lives.
Episodes will come out fortnightly, on the new and full moon, so keep an eye on the sky.
My goal is to normalise conversations about psychedelic experiences in everyday life, so we can support each other in making sense of what they mean, and allow us to collectively open up to the mystery that is life.
You can find this show wherever you listen to your podcast.

E5: Who am I & Why am I here - with Steven Farrugia
I’m very excited to share this conversation with Steven Farrugia with you. When I set out on my journey to start this podcast, one of my goals was to bring back a little bit of mystery, wonder and magic into my life, and hopefully that of my listeners. This conversation did exactly that for me, and I hope it does for you too.
Steven is the founder of the not-for-profit called ShareTree, where he works with organisations, schools and communities to improve mental health and wellbeing through character development and relationship building.
In this conversation Steven talks about how a message he received during a meditation sitting under the stars, kickstarted a quest to find the answer to the questions “Who am I, and Why am I here?”.
This quest takes him to the jungles of South America where he has his first psychedelic experience, which he shares with a degree of vulnerability, lucidity and clarity that makes you feel like you are right there with him.
We also touch on some of the insight that emerged from his experiences with psychedelics, including what it’s like to listen to your heart, how this impacts parenting, and how we can approach these experiences with the respect and intention they require.
