Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Gaia's entire brand exists in the lucrative intersection of wellness bros, Burning Man retirees, and people who unironically use 'vibration' as a personality trait.

Trivia

The 'Holy Mushroom Theory' episode references Gordon Wasson's 1957 Life magazine article—the same piece that accidentally launched Western psychedelia and got R. Gordon Wasson recruited by the CIA for MKUltra-adjacent research. Small world!
