In this mind meld, Colin and I recount the climax and finale of our Ayahuasca adventure at Blue Morpho.  We pick up right where we left off-- Colin had just experienced the most punishing night of his life, while I did a psychic bungee jump into the depths of hell, but eventually rebounded into a transcendent trance that left me eager for more mind adventures. What happens next? How does Colin pull out of his hell realm? How do we make sense of all of this madness and grace? You'll have to listen to find out.  Support Third Eye Drops! *NEW SPONSOR -- Catalina Crunch Keto-friendly cereal* Crowd-sponsor us and get rewards on Patreon Review and sub on Apple Podcasts Visit Thirdeyedrops.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this mind meld, Colin and I spin a proper, detailed yarn about our Ayahuasca adventure. We get into all of it-- The travel, the people, what Blue Morpho (the retreat) is like, insane synchronicities, and, of course, our Ayahuasca experiences (which, really is a totally doomed attempt to describe the indescribable, but hey, we let it rip anyway).   We actually only get about halfway through the tale, so expect part two of the terrible, wonderful saga soon!
