About this listen

 Welcome to another episode of Webdelics! In this special AMA edition, Steve Elfrink and Mike Mumola host a powerful conversation exploring the intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, and law. Our focus is the extraordinary journey of Jonathan Goldman — founder of the Church of the Holy Light of the Queen in Ashland, Oregon, and one of the first individuals to successfully win legal protection for the sacramental use of ayahuasca in the United States. From a childhood shaped by trauma and a quest for healing, Jonathan guides us through his transformative experiences in the Santo Daime tradition and the founding of a unique spiritual community. The episode dives deep into the story of how religious freedom, relentless advocacy, and community unity culminated in a landmark federal court victory. Alongside legal expert Mike Mumola, the conversation unpacks what it takes to create and run an entheogenic church — from personal authenticity and lineage, to the practical and legal realities facing psychedelic religious communities today. Join us as we traverse this rich tapestry of personal healing, cultural history, and the ongoing fight for expanded access to sacred plant medicines. Whether you’re curious about ayahuasca, interested in psychedelic law, or simply love a story of courage and conviction, this episode delivers wisdom, inspiration, and plenty to ponder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🤓 See What We’re Working On Get the Newsletter https://theguide-newsletter-webdelics.beehiiv.com/subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📧GET IN TOUCH Send Us A Message - admin@webdelics.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎉 Check Out Other Awesome Content from our Webdelics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHRN_Ntwkqw&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2qix2t9b6U&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nv6FwgJnRQ&t=1s ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔔 Follow Us On Socials: https://www.webdelics.com/ https://www.facebook.com/webdelics/ https://twitter.com/webdelics https://www.youtube.com/ @webdelics https://www.linkedin.com/company/webdelics/ https://www.instagram.com/webdelics/
