We are excited to invite Mathia Milani back for another episode on the Mangu.tv podcast series.

Mathia Milani is one of the founders of Tierra Iris, a living ecosystem rooted in Ibiza and expanding beyond it. What began as an experiment in regenerative farming has grown into an ongoing practice of community living — where land, relationships, and shared responsibility are learned through daily life. Tierra Iris brings together creative and conscious people to explore what it truly means to live and work together: navigating care, conflict, commitment, and reciprocity in alignment with natural cycles. It is both a home and a learning field — imperfect, alive, and continuously evolving. In addition, he is developing a retreat centre in Tuscany called Madre Selva.

Mathia speaks about experimental living, sharing some of the challenging moments he experienced during the process of creating and growing Tierra Iris. Giancarlo and Mathia discuss the impact of community living, sharing their own experiences of spaces in Ibiza, and the benefits of these places for growth and development.

Mathia shares his plans for his new project, Madre Selva, a retreat centre in Tuscany and speaks about the space and the practices they intend to share from there.

We are delighted to host Dr Ansgar Rougemont-Bücking on this episode of the mangu.tv podcast.

Ansgar is a Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist, researcher, and author specialising in addiction, traumatic dissociation, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. His integrative, transdisciplinary work combines neuroscience, depth psychology, and cultural analysis to examine how unresolved trauma shapes individual and collective behaviour. In his book Vampirocene: How Structural Traumatic Dissociation Is Leading Society into a Spiral of Violence (2023), he proposes the concept of a collective Stockholm syndrome to explain the normalisation of neglect and structural violence. He describes three contemporary traumatic archetypes: the vampire (narcissistic self-exaggeration), the zombie (dehumanisation), and the werewolf (rage born from fear and deprivation). Rougemont-Bücking calls for a "culture of conscience" to move beyond the dynamics of division and oppression characteristic of the Vampirocene toward a more empathetic, caring Anthropocene.

Ansgar speaks about his upbringing in Germany and how it influenced his decision to work with psychotherapy and psychedelics. He shares his academic journey, from studying medicine to specialising in neurology and psychiatry. Ansgar speaks about a challenging moment in his life, and his subsequent discovery of holotropic breathwork & psychedelics. He discusses some of the inspiration behind his book, including authors and studies on traumatic dissociation, as well as three traumatic archetypes.
