She speaks about a near-death experience at four, which opened her to psychic and lucid states, and an interest in esoteric studies and plant medicines in her teens. Tree speaks about her twenties onwards, in London, with an evolving spiritual practice, and how profound experiences around death led her to seek mentorship and step into spiritual service at forty.

Giancarlo and Tree speak about death and consciousness. Tree shares stories of her work as a death doula and integrating dreaming and death work, as well as her passion for teaching Quantum Dreaming, a field she has explored for over a decade.

We are delighted to host Benjamin Phelan on this episode of the ⁠mangu.tv⁠ podcast series.

He shares his first experience with psychedelics and speaks about how it opened up the language of non-human things. He talks about his rediscovery of psychedelics later in life, and how it led him to leave the corporate world and devote his life fully to the exploration of consciousness.

Giancarlo and Ben discuss the ego and the soul. They talk about the value of therapy and guidance with psychedelics. Ben shares the importance of a daily practice to give a ‘leg up’ to the richness of the interior world.
