PT474 – Joe Moore & Kyle Buller – The Origin of Psychedelics Today and the Growth of Vital

In this episode, we toast to the beginning of an exciting and hopefully groundbreaking 2024 by switching things up a bit. Christopher Koddermann, Co-Founder and Chair of Board of the International Therapeutic Psilocybin Rescheduling Initiative (ITPRI) will be conducting some interviews for PT, and in this episode, he does his first – with our Co-Founders, Joe Moore and Kyle Buller.

Kyle tells the story of his fateful New Years Eve snowboarding trip that resulted in a near death experience and a complete change in his life's trajectory, and Joe discusses his more academic roots and how he and Kyle were united through their shared passion for the work of Stan Grof, holotropic breathwork, and transpersonal psychology. Psychedelics Today was created largely with no aims other than to promote transpersonal psychology and archive the best insights from their mentors, but has obviously turned into so much more, mostly from the simple goal of trying to spread the word through interesting conversations.

They talk about the growth of PT; how they got involved in education; the harms of the drug war; why decriminalization isn't enough; where they see 'the psychedelic renaissance' going; what has surprised them the most in the last few years; and what we're most proud of: Vital – how it came to be created, what's involved, the benefits of the retreats, the self-discovery they've witnessed, and what they've learned through two successful cohorts.

The next edition of Vital begins on January 23, and we've extended applications until January 14, so if you've been curious if Vital is the answer you've been looking for, now is the time to act!
