In this episode of Deconstruction, I’m joined by Simon Yugler—depth psychotherapist, psychedelic guide, and author of Psychedelics and the Soul: A Mythic Guide to Psychedelic Healing, Depth Psychology, and Cultural Repair.

Together, we spiral into the terrain of mythopoetics as a lens for meaning-making in times of upheaval and unknowing.

We explore how story becomes a map—for navigating life, altered states, for integration, for grief. We speak of animism, the de-souled world, and what it means to come back into right relationship with the Earth—and with soul. Simon offers reflections on ontological addiction, facilitator integrity, and the cost of chasing peak experiences without myth or community.

This conversation is a living invitation:

to heal through story,

to reweave our world with meaning,

to remember that transformation—like myth—moves in spirals.
