Dr. Evans says,"Since I began working with psychedelics, I rediscovered my love for medicine and found myself actually enjoying my time in the hospital. The challenges and stress associated with caring for ICU patients, their families, the nurses, the administration, etc., can be off the charts. Because of my work with psychedelics, I found I was much more capable of handling all of those challenges, and handling them well."https://www.reunionexperience.org/psychedelic-md-program-for-physicians _______________________________________________________PATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. NEW ALBUM OUT NOW - "Music For The Deck of the Titanic - Deluxe Edition" - LISTEN / BUYUPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsApr 4-7 - Summit at Sea, International WatersJune 28-July 1 - Esalen Institute Retreat, Big Sur CACOMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleMEDITATIONS by East Forest on Spotify & AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeConnect with the Forest - Mothership: http://eastforest.orgIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic

Brad had a transformative shift that occurred with plant medicine that has led him along an incredible, challenging, and yet rewarding path. He says he has learned to live more authentically, and that his experience with plant medicine provided the opportunity for him to also accept his identity as a gay man, something he says he knew for as long as he could remember but buried deeply. For him, to live more authentically, he decided to come out. His life has changed dramatically since.  He sold his company, together with my wife concluded his 25-year marriage, and he established Reunion as a not-for-profit plant medicine retreat center in Costa Rica.  East Forest and Brad chat about the recent East Forest Ceremony Retreat.LEARN MORE ABOUT REUNION:https://www.reunionexperience.org/ _______________________________________________________NEW ALBUM OUT NOW - "Music For The Deck of the Titanic - Deluxe Edition" - LISTEN / BUYhttps://eastforest.orgUPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsMarch 20-24 - Treefort Music Fest / Yogafort, Boise, IDApr 4-7 - Summit at Sea, International WatersJune 18-July 1 - Esalen Institute Retreat, Big Sur CA PATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. COMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleMEDITATIONS by East Forest on Spotify & AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeConnect with the Forest - Mothership: http://eastforest.orgIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic

I recently had the pleasure of playing a few dates in Japan including at the wonderful Each Story Festival -- also with Peter Broderick (thanks Peter!).  Please enjoy two live recordings of a couple of tracks from my performance.  The piano creaks, a dog barks,  and a gentle rain holds off.http://eastforest.org_______________________________________________NEW ALBUM OUT NOW! - "Music For The Deck of the Titanic" - LISTEN / BUYUPCOMING LIVE - http://eastforest.org/ticketsJan 18 - Deep House Yoga, San Francisco, CAFeb 4-10 - Ceremony Retreat at Reunion, Costa RicaPATREON / GIFT - Please support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. COMMUNITY - join at EastForest.orgMUSIC by East Forest: Spotify / AppleMEDITATIONS by East Forest on Spotify & AppleSHOP: http://eastforest.storeConnect with the Forest - Mothership: http://eastforest.orgIG:  @eastforest | FB/TT/YT:  @eastforestmusic
