652 - Adam Aronovich (Healing from Healing)

I really enjoyed this conversation with Adam. When I first came across his Instagram account, I assumed he was a comedian of some sort, as he is so deft at taking the piss out of the New Age, Shamanic, Mother-Aya nonsense. Then I read his essay on Substack and realized that this dude is very, very smart and his humor — like all the best humor — is fueled by wisdom, compassion, disappointment, and rage.

Adam is a doctoral candidate in Anthropology and Communications and an active member of the Medical Anthropology Research Center (MARC-URV). A long-term student and researcher of various magico-medical systems around the world, he has facilitated workshops and retreats in the Amazon rainforest and the Mexican coast for almost a decade. He is the co-founder of Hidden Hand Media, a creative agency at the intersection of psychedelia, technology, and society, and the creator of Healing from Healing, a social media platform that casts a critical, skeptical, and humorous gaze at Healing and Transformation Culture.

Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range. “Infinite Games,” by Consumables. Outro: “Smoke Alarm,” by Carsie Blanton.
