The Magic of Sound with East Forest

The Magic of Sound with East Forest

Author: Shanna Vavra May 13, 2025 Duration: 58:18
Today on Sense of Soul we have East Forest a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. He’s a pioneer figure in the psychedelic music space, and is now making his mark in the film industry with, Music for Mushrooms. The documentary documents East Forest’s personal journey, blending his groundbreaking work in guided psilocybin ceremonies with his deep connection to music. A long-time collaborator of the late Ram Dass, East Forest's work seamlessly integrates shamanistic practices with guided psychedelic experiences. These experiences create safe spaces where participants can confront their pain and fears, rediscover hope, and reconnect with their inner selves. For over 15 years, East Forest (Krishna-Trevor Oswalt) has been a thought leader and a grounded voice in the wellness landscape, guiding listeners through long-form compositions that resonate in diverse settings—from community yoga classes to luxury retreats. As the cultural conversation around psychedelics shifts towards mainstream acceptance, with headlines on decriminalization and groundbreaking studies, East Forest’s music has become the go-to soundtrack for this emerging era of exploration and transformation. His multidisciplinary work spans ceremonial concerts, collaborations with Johns Hopkins University's Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research (particularly the neuroaesthetics project), serving as faculty at Esalen, leading meditations, and speaking engagements worldwide. He is also the co-founder of JourneySpace, a platform dedicated to guided psychedelic experiences. As the entertainment industry takes note of the psychedelic renaissance, East Forest’s innovative approach to combining music and sound with personal transformation is leading the way. His work offers not only meditations, retreats, and a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/ East Forest) but also continues to push the boundaries of how art and science can intersect to create profound healing.

Hosted by Shanna Vavra, Sense of Soul is a space for deep conversation about the often messy path toward personal and spiritual understanding. Rather than offering simple answers, this podcast sits with the complexities of healing and growth, drawing from a well of diverse perspectives. Shanna connects with guests from various cultural and spiritual backgrounds, each bringing a raw account of how profound challenges were met with resilience and reframed into a sense of purpose. What you’ll hear in these dialogues are not polished success stories, but genuine narratives about confronting pain, questioning beliefs, and discovering an inner light that often feels hidden. The discussions naturally weave through themes of faith, self-improvement, and education in the broadest sense-learning from life itself. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a thoughtful gathering where the focus is on authentic human experience across different traditions and personal journeys. It’s for anyone curious about the intersection of spirituality and daily life, seeking a sense of connection and reflection through the shared wisdom of others walking a similar path.
