#8 - Psychedelic Storytelling with Cory Firth

Welcome to episode 8 of the The Flying Sage Podcast! In this episode we will be speaking with Cory Firth.

Cory is a human-impact community builder, communications entrepreneur and plant medicine advocate who has spent the last 5 years building communities in the mental health and wellness space. After a 20 year battle with depression, he has committed his career to a vision where the stigmatization of mental illness is replaced with compassion, transformation and community connection; a world where we work together to reunite with our innate abilities to heal, overcome, create and actualize our full potential.

As a flow state breathwork guide, integration & microdosing practitioner and the former Executive Director of the Canadian Psychedelic Association, Cory is passionate about collaborating with other advocates to expand education, equity and psychedelic access at home and abroad. Cory spends his time working with the Nikean Foundation and the Neuma Centre For Social Wellness.

In this episode, we discuss Cory’s personal journey with psychedelics, his previous work with the PAC and his current work with the Nikean Foundation. We talk about the importance of story with psychedelics and the amazing work being done at Nikean with their Story Telling project. We also take some time to chat about Cory’s new venture with the Neuma Centre of Social Wellness in Kingston Ontario and then finally, we share our thoughts on what democratising psychedelics might look like.
