In this raw and unexpected episode of One Song, One Story, Shub sits down with Dan Cleland — author, serial entrepreneur, and founder of the world-renowned ayahuasca retreat Soltara Healing Centre — to explore the surprising connection between heavy metal, resilience, and spiritual growth.
Dan brings a fierce and fitting song to the table: “Rooster” by Alice in Chains — a grunge-era anthem about survival, trauma, and defiance. What unfolds is a deeply human conversation about contrast and identity: a man who’s led plant medicine retreats in the jungle, toured the world with a metal band, and still finds healing in distortion, sweat, and sound.
Together they explore:
⚡️ The unexpected overlap between ayahuasca and heavy metal
🎸 How music becomes a weapon for survival and self-expression
🌧 What it means to live authentically — even when it doesn’t fit the mould
From Born in the USA to Nirvana to Alice in Chains, this episode tracks Dan’s lifelong journey through sound — from small-town Canada to the Costa Rican jungle — and the songs that carried him through chaos, creation, and change.
Hit play, feel the grit, and remember: healing doesn’t always sound like a flute. Sometimes it screams.
