Matthew Stoltz Explains Spiritual Awakening with Ayahuasca | The Quest Pod with Justin Kan @FractalRadio

Uploaded February 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 hours ago

Welcome to The Quest Pod Season 2: Episode 39 with Matthew Stoltz.

Matthew is a curandero, healer, renegade anthropologist and world traveller with vast experience in the world of plant medicines.

He first sat with ayahuasca when he travelled to Peru at the age of 19. He didn’t touch it again for 8 years.

During that time he studied at Stanford, crashed and burned, struggled with addiction and experienced suicidal thoughts.

It took a lot for him to rebuild himself. Part of that journey involved ayahuasca.

Matthew has now sat in over 500 ceremonies, 300 of which he was responsible for caring for a group of people. He’s extremely knowledgeable about psychedelic drugs, psychoactive medicines and spiritual awakening.

In this conversation, Matthew discusses finding freedom, connection and self-awareness with ayahuasca.

This is the Psykerverse. Psyker is a web3 fighting experience offering legendary gameplay on the Solana blockchain. The team has several years of experience consulting in crypto gaming and have come together to create something special. Fighting games have relied on a similar formula over the past few decades. There has not been much change or evolution aside from small changes to game mechanics. The introduction of Web3, NFTs, and GameFi provides the opportunity to innovate and create new ways for players to interact, play, and earn within the fighting game genre. Seeing very few fighting games in the metaverse, the team was compelled to create Psyker. You can buy, trade and earn NFTs allowing you to alternate your avatar’s skins, weapons, body items and powers. In this conversation, Justin Kan talks with Eric Godwin, Rhys Boulanger and Lukas Kamandulis from the founding team.
