Greetings from cyberdelic space, this is Lorenzo and I’m your host here in the psychedelic
00:00:22 ►
salon.
00:00:23 ►
And I figured out that it’s about time to give you a little update about what’s been going on with the Salon this past month.
00:00:31 ►
In fact, I guess that I should begin this podcast like I was taught as a boy in Catholic school.
00:00:38 ►
And since I know that there are a lot of fellow Saloners here who also went through those days of mental child abuse.
00:00:45 ►
You’ll remember saying something like, it has been one week since my last confession.
00:00:51 ►
Of course, today I’d have to say that it’s been over 50 years since my last confession,
00:00:55 ►
but I digress. It’s only been five weeks since my last podcast. However, as many of you already
00:01:03 ►
know, for the first two months of the lockdown here
00:01:06 ►
in California, I was hosting four live salons every week. We’re down to two a week now,
00:01:12 ►
however, and while I send an email announcement with that day’s Zoom link to each of my supporters
00:01:18 ►
on Patreon, well, during the pandemic, I’m also posting that information on the Psychedelic
00:01:24 ►
Salon’s Discord server,
00:01:25 ►
where there are already hundreds of the others getting to know one another.
00:01:30 ►
And I’ll tell you all about that and a few other things that are going on here in the salon,
00:01:35 ►
but first I want to thank those fellow saloners who have been so generous in their support for these podcasts.
00:01:41 ►
First of all, even though a few dollars a month may not seem like much,
00:01:45 ►
collectively, the 400 core members of the salon who contribute through Patreon each month have,
00:01:52 ►
well, have essentially become my financial backbone. And while some of them have had to
00:01:57 ►
drop out due to their own financial distress from losing their jobs and other things,
00:02:01 ►
other people have stepped in and filled the gap. So a huge thanks
00:02:05 ►
to all of you. Also, there are some fellow slaughters who have made direct donations
00:02:10 ►
through PayPal and who have been with me for many years now. In particular, I’d like to thank
00:02:16 ►
Thomas and Christine from Southern California and from even farther south, all the way from
00:02:22 ►
down under, in fact, I want to thank KD. And between them,
00:02:27 ►
they have covered all of our hosting and other podcasting expenses for the next four months.
00:02:32 ►
You Saloners are all the greatest. I really appreciate your help.
00:02:36 ►
So now, here are a couple things that we’ve already gotten underway since the pandemic has
00:02:41 ►
started. I’ll begin with the Salon’s Discord server, and if you aren’t
00:02:46 ►
already familiar with Discord, just ask one of your gamer friends. Discord is a well-established
00:02:53 ►
part of their community, and two months that we’ve been online there, well, almost 500 fellow
00:02:58 ►
salonners have joined us. And did I mention that it’s free? No credit card required. In addition to login links for the live salons on Discord,
00:03:07 ►
you’ll also find links to many more online psychedelic seminars and interviews
00:03:13 ►
probably than you have time for, even if you’re staying home right now.
00:03:17 ►
There’s simply been a deluge of live streams for the psychedelic community,
00:03:22 ►
and you’ll find the link connecting you with our Discord server near the top of our homepage
00:03:27 ►
at psychedelicsalon.com.
00:03:30 ►
I may even be podcasting some of the live salons that I host each week.
00:03:35 ►
On Mondays, the live salon takes place at 6.30 p.m. Pacific Time.
00:03:40 ►
And on Thursday, the live salon takes place at 6.30 p.m. London time, which is 10.30 in the morning on the Pacific coast.
00:03:48 ►
And this week’s Thursday live salon will feature our first attempt at organizing a book club.
00:03:54 ►
After we announced it last week on our Discord server, the topic really took off,
00:03:59 ►
and the first book selected for our discussion will be Daniel Quinn’s brilliant book, Ishmael.
00:04:05 ►
selected for our discussion will be Daniel Quinn’s brilliant book, Ishmael. Over time,
00:04:11 ►
as the book club evolves, I expect that some of those discussions will also become podcasts.
00:04:16 ►
Other topics that we’ll be covering in Live Salons that will later be streamed here as a regular podcast include a discussion about cryptocurrencies, and we’ll also be talking
00:04:22 ►
with a fellow salonner about how he lived as a homeless
00:04:25 ►
person for six years after leaving military service, and I suspect that his tips and tricks
00:04:31 ►
may come in handy for more people than we like to think about. Another thing that you may want
00:04:37 ►
to know about comes from Dan Casciato, who wanted to remind me to let you know that our friends at
00:04:43 ►
MAPS are looking for quality people to fill many of their needs right now.
00:04:47 ►
So if you’re thinking about what you want to do next in this new life that’s unfolding,
00:04:52 ►
why don’t you surf over to the MAPS career page at maps.org slash participate slash careers.
00:05:00 ►
And I’ll link to that in today’s program notes notes which you’ll find at psychedelicsalon.com
00:05:05 ►
there are a lot of wonderful people
00:05:07 ►
both employees and volunteers
00:05:09 ►
who are involved in one or more projects at MAPS
00:05:11 ►
and if you have any inclination at all
00:05:14 ►
to look into a career change right now
00:05:16 ►
well you should at least take a look
00:05:18 ►
at what MAPS has to offer
00:05:19 ►
and if you’re still longing
00:05:22 ►
for a little taste of the old normal
00:05:24 ►
in a few days I’ll be posting the next installment of Cat Lakey’s podcast series that features readings from Leonard Picard’s book, The Rose of Paracelsus.
00:05:34 ►
And this particular reading features Brother David Stendhal-Rost reading Chapter 2, and in Leonard’s introduction to this reading, he also passes along a personal message to you
00:05:45 ►
from Brother David
00:05:46 ►
about the days that we are now moving through.
00:05:50 ►
Until then, this is Lorenzo
00:05:52 ►
signing off from Cyberdelic Space.
00:05:55 ►
Namaste, my friends. Thank you.
