The Be Here Now Network invites you to join journalist Madison Margolin on the Set & Setting podcast. Set & Setting brings together thought leaders of today's "psychedelic renaissance" to look at the places where psychedelics, spirituality, and culture intersect.
With a focus on the legacy of Ram Dass, Madison and her guests explore ways that altered states inform the practice of mindfulness and talk about how we can best integrate and prepare the mind, body, and soul for a psychedelic experience.
