‘Who am I?’ – The Retreat

01 Aug 2020 2 Comments

The following video is in Czech & English, i hope to have a version with English subtitles for you soon, follow this blog & my YouTube channel for notifications. For more information on the retreat, use the email in the video.

Our latest retreat was in July 2020 and was overbooked. It was also, i promise, way more of a success than i thought it would be. 😉

Let me explain : we had several new elements/activities to our program, and i was concerned we couldn’t pull it off. We did, and the feedback during the closing circle was 100% positive, everyone was very pleased with their stay & their experience.

Even if you don’t speak the language, the video will give you an idea of what to expect.

The next retreat will be from September 2nd to 6th 2020, in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. There are cheap flights to Prague from all over Europe. And from Prague car-pooling can be arranged with other clients attending.

We have approximately 20 spots available, for a staff of 8 !

The food is 100% healthy & vegan, very tasty, and will not leave you wanting anything more. 🙂

For details & pricing, please use the email in the video. Beware that last time we were overbooked so i recommend you do not delay if you are interested.

Who is this for?
– Anyone who wants to find out who they are.
– Anyone with addictions or depression but not taking SSRIs.
– Anyone wanting to re-connect with themselves and find their purpose in life.
– Anyone curious about connecting to ‘The Source’ and feeling more, or wanting more gratitude in their life.

The retreat will be preceded by an introduction call, and followed by an integration call.

Great videos you might not remember

03 May 2020 Leave a comment

I am eyeballing you

Some of you will know this about me: i’m old! Oh yes, and i’m too sexy for my shirt, plus a few other things, open up your fruitcakes! YEAH BABY YEAH!
Are you catching these references yet? If not, please pay attention. Geez, it’s like being at kindergarten with you youngsters all over the place!

First up, we have a video that, admitedly, simply doesn’t qualify as ‘great’, some might argue it’s not even ‘good’! So what on earth is it doing here, i hear you scream. Well, i thoroughly like the tongue-in-cheek attitude of our “singer” here, and they all seem to be having a bunch of fun, whilst making fun of people who thing they are just too hot…for anything. 🙂 Urban legend has it that the two bulky brothers in the band owned a gym where many models could be seen, and they decided to take a poke at them in this song and video.
Makes me a tad nostalgic of the era, which is the early 90’s, in case you didn’t know. Which you probably didn’t. Hence why i said it. 😉
In addition to the jaunty attitude of ‘Fred’, let’s call him that, we have the raunchy extras, which are probably largely responsible for the 20 million views this video is currently boasting.
I used to think of Right Said Fred as a one hit wonder, but a quick look into their bio shows me they sold 30 million records, had number 1 hits in dozens of countries, and even were the first band since The Beatles to go to number 1 in the US with their debut single, a record that was over 25 years old at the time of ‘Too Sexy’, which also won them some fancy awards.

Ladies & genitals, I’m too sexy for my shirt:

 

Next up, a classic that dates back all the way to 1986. Not only a great song, perfectly produced, the video has to be one of the best in music video history. That’s Peter Gabriel, by the way.

 

 

And, last for today’s selection (stay tuned for more!), we have something wildly unexpected from a special & brilliant actor, who is apparently a gifted dancer to boot.
Christopher Walken is indeed Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice.

How to smoke Bufo Alvarius / Sapito / Toad Medicine

25 Aug 2017 Leave a comment

A viewer on my YouTube channel asked me how to smoke Bufo Alvarius / Sapito / Toad Medicine because he was having no luck. It can be tricky, indeed.

NEVER do it alone. You need someone experienced with you, ie someone who has seen all sorts of behaviour under ‘Toad’ and who can anticipate problems so that they never occur. There is a risk of death if you do it alone.

DISCLAIMER: Never do anything illegal, ever. Everything i do or say is provided merely for educational purposes, you are the only one responsible for your actions. Never smoke anything. Understood?

Ayahuasca + Bufo Alvarius : a potentially deadly mix

06 Jun 2017 Leave a comment

[UPDATE 2019 : one of my clients just brought this old article to my attention. I was warning him about the dangers of this mix. So i’ve amended the title and i’m adding in this warning.

It also comes as a reminder of what this blog is : a diary of my experiences and experiments, some of which have been mistakes. This is a prime example of a mistake, which could have been deadly. Indeed, this mix, in this precise order, can allegedly cause an excess of serotonin, known as serotonin poisoning, something that can leave you depressed for life or even dead. This link here provides a few articles about this.

Some people, usually facilitators offering this mix, will assure you it is safe. My advice? Do not take the risk. There is no need to take that risk. There is no need to mix, and especially not in that order. Either of these ancient medicines are potent enough as they are, give them the time & space they require, work with them.

I apologize if my article or video had misled you in any way.

You may, however, take Bufo first, and then, after a strict minimum of 2 hours, take Ayahuasca. I would recommend you wait longer, 1 or 2 days at least, and that you use a light dose of Ayahuasca. A better mix is a good Changa (‘Xanga’) then Ayahuasca. Always be prudent, you are treading on thin ice with these things. Also bear in mind that Ayahuasca is strongly and dangerously incompatible with certain things…find out all about that before you put your life at risk. ]

Original article :

About 10 days ago i had THE strongest experience of my life on entheogens (or anything else, i guess!) and it’s taken me this long to kind of come off it! I can still feel it a bit.

First i took a very strong creamy Ayahuasca, and the following day i smoked Bufo Alvarius. WOW. Just freakin WOW. My experience lasted 1 hour to 1h30, which is a fair bit when you know it can last as little as a minute.

Can you ‘bad trip’ on Bufo Alvarius / Sapito / Toad ?

25 May 2017 Leave a comment

Can you ‘bad trip’ on Bufo Alvarius / Sapito / Toad ?
And what is best to get out of depression : Ayahuasca or Bufo Alvarius ?

It strokes my ego to receive questions from people so keep ’em coming! 😉
This was a question from a YouTube subscriber and it’s a really good one.
More seriously, though, i like getting questions because i like the idea of helping people : it FEELS GOOD. My gut tells me ‘DO MORE! DO MORE!’. So i feel more & more happy because these videos and articles are helping more & more people. Thank YOU for deciding to help yourself! For THAT is the key! Not me, really, let’s face it. As much as i’d love to be the cure and some sort of guru, i’m just a twat who’s been lucky enough to want to get better. 🙂

Love to all. Yes, even the loveless, you too.
Hug.

My review of 2 pre-workout products : Muscletech Neurocore and Nano Sport Technologies (NST) PRE WOD.

07 May 2017 Leave a comment

I’ve been doing crossfit for about 5 months now and i’ve lost a LOT of fat, put on some muscle, and lost a small amount of weight. I did that without using any pre-workout products. When i started to need more exercise a couple of weeks ago, i looked for things to give me that extra boost and up my performance a bit.
I asked around, and i tested these two products. They are the same in just about every way.
Do they work?
Are they healthy?
What results can you expect? Are there better alternatives? I give a good free tip that absolutely works for me, here in the video. And guess what, it’s free and non-toxic.

Crossfit vs Fasting !

21 Apr 2017 Leave a comment

The chances are, if you’re on this blog, you’ve heard of intermittent fasting or of plain fasting. No food, just water, for 40 days. That sort of thing. Yes, it has been done.
And maybe you’re looking for a way to lose some of those tacos you shouldn’t have eaten. Or maybe you could have eaten them had you also been moving your arse a bit. But you didn’t. Well, i’ve tried both fasting and crossfit, and i’m also doing intermittent fasting. So here’s my take on it. Unless you know why you are fasting, i’d really recommend you don’t. Here’s why:

How to find a good Ayahuasca retreat

08 Apr 2017 8 Comments

Iquitos? An industry. Malaria. Crazy high prices.

Online testimonials can be forged, you know that.

Here i offer some alternatives and a suggestion. Certainly one of the best experiences of my life.

If you are interested in a great, safe and cheap retreat in Peru then sign up for more information here or in the pop-up if you see it. I already have 3 or 4 people so we just need a few more to make this happen! 🙂
