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.

E6: Finding your spirit animal with Elijah Whaley
This is a special episode as it’s the first time we explore a psychedelic-like (altered state) experience that isn’t induced by an external substance or entheogen.
Elijah Whaley will share his experience with his introduction to Shamanic Journeying which led him to find one of his spirit animals. This opens up a larger conversation about how these practices have helped him take his inner journey of transformation and discovery to a whole different level.
Elijah is a Serial entrepreneur, community builder and communications expert, who has a long history as a meditator and Psychonaut, and more recently as a neo-Shamanic practitioner.
I’ve since started my journeying practice and have found it has allowed me to tap into something deep, primal and extremely powerful that I didn’t know I was missing until I had it. A childlike ability to dream and marvel.
Elijah helped me open my eyes to the potential of just how magical and mysterious this world is, and hope it does the same for you.
In the episode we discuss this book by Sandra Ingerman & Hank Wesselman: Awakening to the Spirit World
