Psychedelic Conversations | Nigel Pedlingham - Psychedelic Self Discovery

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode, we speak with Nigel Pedlingham, founder of MAGUEY, a psychedelic-assisted self-discovery practice based in the Netherlands. We explore Nigel’s journey into this work, his deep connection to creating safe, rooted spaces for healing, and his unique focus on serving the queer community through tailored retreats. We also discuss his roles with Nectara, the Guild Of Guides, and other international integration and facilitation networks. Together, we reflect on the importance of slowing down, building community, and walking the talk in psychedelic spaces. Nigel shares insights on trust, authenticity, and the evolving landscape of psychedelic practice, as well as his broader vision of healing through ceremony, nature, and collective connection. Tune in to hear a grounded and heartful conversation on the power of psychedelic work done in integrity, and the importance of coming together in these transformative times.
