Entheo-Science – My Largest Project to Date
For several years, this congress in Berlin kept the topic of psychedelics alive in Germany. Entheo took place 4 times between 2012 and 2017—during a time when speaking publicly about psychedelics was neither cool nor trendy. Back then, being a psychonaut made you what people today call a “conspiracy theorist”: a person avoided by the mainstream, somehow suspicious. My motivation for spending several months doing full-time volunteer work was gratitude for the gift that psychedelics were and continue to be for me.
The largest Entheo-Science congress took place in 2016 in Berlin, featuring 40 speakers and 325 guests.
Today, there is a rich selection of conferences on psychedelics. Whether I will put in the effort and stress to organize such a large event again after the pandemic break—we’ll see 😉 MIND and Breaking Convention are the main sites to keep an eye on today if you are looking for psychedelic congresses.

Talks / Interviews – Newest First:
JOURNEYS – The Journey to Yourself
What does the path of Buddhism have in common with the insights gained through the use of psychedelics? And what takeaways can we derive for our daily lives and the integration of psychedelic journeys? I wanted Joe Schraube to answer these and other questions. Joe himself is often referred to as a “psychedelically inspired Buddhist” and is the founder and organizer of the Entheo-Science congresses, as well as co-initiator of the Psychedelic Salons and the Psychedelic Society Germany.

CropFM
Tarek Talks with Joe Schraube About Psychedelics
CropFM is a podcast with nearly 500 episodes covering crop circles, UFOs, the paranormal, and similar topics. You need a sense of adventure and a willingness to engage with speculative, mysterious, and sometimes bizarre concepts. I speak publicly for the first time about “aliens on my trips.” 😉

I’m not fully satisfied with the content or video quality yet—sorry, I will rework it and record it in better quality 😉
Stay High Podcast
With Jakub Alto’s “Stay High” podcast, another mainstream show ventured into the topic of psychedelics. The episode might not offer experienced psychonauts much new or surprising information, but the many newcomers to the subject need a good entry point as well.

Jakub describes the podcast as follows: “Learn from people who have experienced special highs as they share their journeys with us—how it feels to run your first marathon, get lost in meditation, or even experience childbirth.”
We didn’t even get around to my personal experiences; the hour flew by quickly, and Jakub was very enthusiastic about the topic. There might be a Part 2 eventually.
Episode Description (by Jakub):
LSD, Mescaline, Psilocybin, DMT – Many of us have heard of psychedelics in the form of mushrooms or Ayahuasca, but what lies behind them? In this episode of Stay High, I talk to Joe from the Psychedelic Society Germany for the first time about a “substance.” Thus far Jakub—because, unlike what the title of the podcast might suggest, it is not primarily about substance-induced highs.

When you think about things…
A radio feature of mine from the 90s: When I created this track, I was thinking about LSD; today, it would also fit the concept of conspiracy theories 😉 The spoken text originates from an unknown DT64 broadcast.
Joe as “Guru Tester”
Between 2000 and 2013, I conducted many interviews with Advaita teachers for Jetzt-TV. I quickly built a fanbase in the Advaita scene because I was respectful yet cheeky and provocative. I especially enjoyed calling out teachers who acted “awakened” but weren’t.
