Masters of Ceremony
Masters of Ceremony is a podcast led by artist and ceremonialist, Andrew Askaripour. MoC’s aim is to merge the worlds of Andrew's passions of Spirituality, Hip-Hop, Photography/Film, Sacred Plant Medicines, and the beauty of ceremony in order to educate, inspire, and strengthen others.
Born of Jamaican and Iranian descent, Andrew humbly walks a path of service in order to honor and give thanks to his ancestors and elders for helping guide him towards rediscovering these ancient and universal forms in which all communities gather, heal, and grow together. Apprenticing for many years with initiated teachers and elders of several traditions has provided Andrew with an immense respect and understanding of the responsibility of what it is to carry and share these sacred teachings with the upmost reverence and integrity.
From his years involved within the New York Hip-Hop scene, to studying with various wise medicine men and women of Central and South America, Andrew has gained a distinct outlook on life that allows him to connect with the hearts, minds, and spirits of his fascinating guests, who are each on the way to becoming true masters of their crafts. Through sitting down with these remarkable individuals, and sharing insights from his own journey, Andrew invites you onto his journey of learning, exploration, and growth.
Welcome to Masters of Ceremony.
