The Universe Within Podcast, hosted by Jason Grechanik, explores spirituality, consciousness, plant medicines, animism, shamanism, holistic health, philosophy, psychology, science, and the many related threads that shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
The podcast was created to give a voice to the people doing the work—wisdom keepers, doctors, shamans, scientists, guides, facilitators, visionaries, and anthropologists who are working on the ground, day in and day out, within their respective fields and traditions.
Through open and in-depth conversations, we explore different perspectives, experiences, and ways of understanding the human experience. My hope is that these conversations inspire curiosity, offer new perspectives, and perhaps illuminate something within you.
If you enjoy the conversations, Follow and join me on this journey as we continue exploring The Universe Within.

THE UNIVERSE WITHIN PODCAST — EP. 204 - ANDY LETCHER Lees meer
In this episode, I speak with Andy Letcher about Druidry, Celtic cosmology, European ancestral traditions, animism, plants and fungi, and deep ecology.

In this episode, I speak with Alan Scheurman about his journey into psychedelics, spirituality, and the Shipibo-Konibo tradition. We explore how encounters with ayahuasca and peyote changed Alan's worldview and opened him to spirit; his work with initiation and dieta in the Shipibo tradition; his experiences guiding ceremonies and diets; and his critiques of contemporary psychedelic practice and the so-called “Psychedelic Renaissance.” Alan has been working in this field for many years and brings a depth of experience, perspective, and curiosity to these subjects.

Ep. 202 - Rakel Sanímuinaq - Inuit Shamanism, Ancestors, Nature, & Spirit
9 september 2026 · 1 uur 53 min
Hey everybody! Episode 202 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Aviaja Rakel Sanímuinaq Kristiansen. I think this one of the more beautiful conversations I’ve had on this podcast. Rakel is a shaman of the Inuit people of Greenland. I think she speaks beautifully from a place of a deep experience knowledge of what she has discovered for herself, in her own journey of being born into a shamanic lineage, her struggles and shamanic illness, her journey of remembering, connecting with her ancestors and spirit, overcoming her fear through ceremony, and finding her calling and path in service of others. Rakel speaks with a beauty, grace and wisdom and I trust you all will gain much from her presence and wisdom.

Ep. 199 - Jacques Mabit - Fundador de Takiwasi, Ayahuasca y Medicina Tradicional Amazónica
31 juli 2026 · 3 uur 1 min
Note: For the english version, see the previous episode Lees meer
Hola a todos! Ya está disponible el episodio 200 del pódcast. En este episodio conversé con Jacques Mabit. Jacques es el fundador de Takiwasi, el centro de medicina tradicional amazónica más antiguo y reconocido del Perú. Conozco el trabajo de Jacques desde hace muchos años, prácticamente desde que comencé a dedicarme a este camino. En 2013 visité Takiwasi y tuve la oportunidad de recibir un recorrido personal por sus instalaciones. Quedé muy impresionado por el lugar, el equipo humano y su enfoque terapéutico. Takiwasi no solo es un centro de sanación, sino también un centro de investigación, además de elaborar sus propios productos con estándares de altísima calidad. Takiwasi se ha especializado en el tratamiento de las adicciones a las drogas y cuenta con una tasa de éxito excepcionalmente alta. Me sentí muy feliz y honrado de que Jacques aceptara esta entrevista. Conversamos sobre su trayectoria, las diferencias entre las visiones del mundo occidental e indígena, la sanación, la ayahuasca, el tabaco, los desafíos y riesgos de este trabajo, y muchos otros temas. Considero que esta es una de mis entrevistas favoritas del pódcast. Jacques posee una sabiduría muy profunda y una perspectiva poco común, si no única, sobre la medicina tradicional amazónica. Esta conversación está llena de enseñanzas valiosas y espero que todos la disfruten. También quiero agradecer a Luis Solaratpor la locución. Como siempre, si deseas apoyar este pódcast, acceder anticipadamente a los episodios, disfrutar de contenido exclusivo y participar en sesiones de preguntas y respuestas, te invito a visitar mi página de Patreon, cuyo enlace encontrarás más abajo. Que lo disfruten!

Ep. 199 - Jacques Mabit - Takiwasi Founder, Ayahuasca, & Amazonian Medicine
29 juli 2026 · 3 uur 1 min
Hey everybody! Episode 199 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jacques Mabit. Jacques is the founder of the oldest and most renowned traditional Amazonian medicine center in Peru, Takiwasi. I have know about Jacques for many years, ever since I started doing this work. In 2013, I visited Takiwasi and was given a personal tour there. I was very impressed with their space, staff, and system of healing work. Takiwasi is not only a healing center but also a research center as well as producing their own products of a very high quality. Takiwasi has specialized in the treatment of drug addiction and has an extremely high success rate. I was very happy and honored that Jacque agreed to this interview. We spoke about his background, Western and indigenous worldviews, healing, ayahuasca, tobacco, pitfalls of this work, and much more. I think this is one of my favorite interviews on this podcast and Jacques has a deep wisdom and a very rare, if not unique, perspective on traditional Amazonian medicine. This interview is filled with a very deep wisdom and I hope you all enjoy it. Also thank you to Luis Solarat for the voiceover.

Ep. 198 - Matteo Politi - Phytotherapy, Ethnobotany, & Ayahuasca
15 juli 2026 · 1 uur 39 min
Hey everybody! Episode 198 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Matteo Politi. Matteo is an independent researcher who has specialized in pharmacology, phytotherpay, naturopathy, amongst other things, and for a number of years has been doing research at the renowned Peruvian Amazonian Medicinal center Takiwasi. We sat down and spoke about his background, the pharmaceutical industry, phytochemistry, Amazonian indigenous medicinal practices, his work at Takiwasi, and a more holistic approach to plants and human well-being. Matteo is a very deep thinker and I think is really creating a beautiful bridge between world views to create a more holistic way of working with plants and how we as humans can create a more biodiverse world. I think you all will gain much from his wisdom. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy! Lees meer
