Breaking Convention // Psychedelics and The Rise of The Future Human with Rose Cartwright, Moudou Baqui, Iyad El-Baghdadi, Shannon Dames, Dr Simon Ruffel and Akua Ofosuhene - E238

Can altered states shift our collective future? In this week's episode, we share a powerful moment recorded at Breaking Convention, where Amisha brings together Rose Cartwright, Moudou Baqui, Iyad El-Baghdadi , Shannon Dames, Dr Simon Ruffel and Akua Ofosuhene. Each bringing their own lived experience, they explore what becomes possible when psychedelic experiences meet social change and the deep remembering of older, wiser ways of being. There is a profound bravery and deep vulnerability in this conversation that lingers long after the listening ends. Speaking of grief and revelation, darkness and rebirth, community and disconnection, they reflect on what it means to be a host for new realities, to clear the landing pad for the future and to walk with integrity as stewards of both ancient and emerging ways of knowing. We explore: :: What becomes possible when psychedelic experiences meet social change and ancestral remembering :: How extraordinary gifts are returning to people :: What it means to host new realities and prepare the landing pad for beneficial energies :: How Indigenous and Western sciences can learn from one another through mutual listening and respect :: Why we may be at the end of many paradigms and the beginning of something entirely new :: How remembering the body can be a gateway to reconciling with each other and the earth :: What happens when people stop holding back and speak from the depth of lived experience :: How the healing of community lives deep in our bones :: Why you can be hopeful even when you're pessimistic :: How psychedelics can loosen the rigidity we carry and reconnect us to what is real We hope that this episode invites you to understand differently your own healing journey and the role that psychedelics can play for all of us.
