It’s an honor to bring on my friend Eben Britton for OF EARTH Ep.5. His career in the NFL provided him with an in-depth, firsthand experience of dealing with immense pain and trauma. Now, as the host of, Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, and his own podcast, The Eben Flow, he is sharing his experience cultivating practices to allow for healing and restoration, bringing balance to his mind, body, and spirit.

“You know, there's all of this fabulous research happening with psilocybin and MDMA and LSD. And it's beautiful, and it's necessary and we need it. But, the pitfall is to make our lives about the substances. The substances themselves are just the tools by which we can open ourselves up to the greater experience of our lives. You know, it would be the same as if someone who builds houses made their entire life about their hammer or their power drill, right, you know, and should I owe my whole life to this instrument. This is my God, this is my life. You know, it's like it's a tool to help you build the house.”
