21| Silence and Insight, Bliss and Fear with Jesse Shwaluk

Jesse Shwaluk joins me after nearly a year away from the show! After a decade of close friendship I thought it was worth getting one of our conversations out. Jesse is a massage therapist near Vancouver, BC.

In this episode, we go on a deep dive on meditation and our experiences going to 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreats.

Stay tuned after the episode with Jesse, there's an extra few minutes talking about one of the worst experiences of my life, a bad trip off of a cannabis edible after coming back from my first retreat, definitely stick around to hear that.
