Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#2 — Lit Up by Non-Extractive Research Ethics with Sidsel Marie Henriksen
Q: What is your practical stance on engaging Gabon in conversations about cultivation and use to prevent external imposition?
It is crucial to have inclusive, locally led dialogues in Gabon about cultivation, extraction, and trade, avoiding decisions made on behalf of other nations and ensuring that communities whose roots are in Gabon guide ethical and sustainable practices.
#2 — Lit Up by Non-Extractive Research Ethics with Sidsel Marie Henriksen
Q: How does the befores and afters framework apply to Iboga and Ibogaine in your fieldwork and interviews with participants at retreat centers?
The befores and afters concept maps onto both the sensory and transformative shifts people report, with an emphasis on gradual integration of insights into daily life, but the afterglow can be uneven and sometimes accompanied by vulnerability or insomnia, making the afterglow a nuanced and context-dependent phase.
#2 — Lit Up by Non-Extractive Research Ethics with Sidsel Marie Henriksen
Q: Can you summarize your PhD focus as it stands today in a concise way that would work for a short abstract?
The research centers on the social life of iboga and ibogaine across varied historical and geographic settings, tracing how iboga is activated relationally for different uses and how its forms, including derivatives, change its efficacy, while emphasizing non-extractive ethics and collaboration with local communities.
#8 — Music, Medicine and Sacred Psychoacoustics with Jonathan Weiss
Q: Jonathan, do you wanna introduce yourself and give a little bit of your origin story with sound and psychedelics?
He describes founding Oswalds Mill Audio and Fleetwood Sound, his shift from high-end audio to exploring how sound shapes psychedelic experiences, and a transformative personal journey through an FDA psilocybin study that helped him quit drinking. He emphasizes the crucial role of carefully designed soundscapes in psychedelic work and his ongoing mission to elevate sound quality in therapeutic settings.
#13 — Fishing for Harmonies: Kindling Research Cultures of Conviviality with Dr Andy Letcher
Q: How should Western academia engage with Bwiti and Iboga traditions without erasing them or imposing colonial biases?
The guest emphasizes listening to indigenous voices, treating religions and practices as human institutions to be understood rather than judged, promoting convivial dialogue between science and humanities, and avoiding reductionist approaches that overlook place, memory, and relational ethics.
