In this inaugural episode of the podcast, we sit down with Victor Distefano Wiltenburg, a Brazilian PhD student studying in the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa. He currently works with medicinal plants and entheogens, studying the ayahuasca neo-shamanic movement in Brazil and Canada. Victor has a unique story of his psychedelic roots, and his path has woven together science and spirituality in some surprising ways, both within and outside of the psychedelic realm.

| 18 Mar 2025 | A religious upbringing, and first hearing about psychedelics at age 78 | 00:24:49 | |
Katherine Kimbell, (RN, BA) was introduced to the concept of psychedelics by the CBC Radio program "Ideas" in November 2015 at age 78. This was a profoundly life-changing experience that led to her eventual first psychedelic experience a few months later. Her story is wonderfully unique, while also echoing the pains that many people navigate in life—grappling with the loss of faith, confronting shame, and cultivating acceptance and forgiveness for others and for oneself.
