Welcome to Dear Humanity, a podcast born from the heart of a transformative era. In this trailer, host Laura Dawn introduces the vision behind the show—a powerful invitation to explore what it means to be fully human during this time of profound change. We are living through the ending of an era, a time that many elders call the Great Turning. As the old ways dissolve, we find ourselves in the midst of a collective Rite of Passage—a Great Restructuring that is reconfiguring every aspect of our lives. This podcast is for those who feel the call to step forth, midwifing this change with courage, creativity, compassion, and care. Through transformative conversations with influential change-makers, elders, visionaries, and innovators, Dear Humanity dives into the essential questions of our time: • How do we live and lead deeply purposeful and inspired lives amidst political division, ecological devastation, and systemic crises? • How do we stay grounded and resilient while supporting meaningful work without succumbing to burnout or despair? • How do we reimagine and create systems rooted in love, connection, belonging, and wisdom that render the old ways obsolete? This show bridges ancient wisdom traditions with cutting-edge fields like psychedelics, creativity, neuroscience, cognitive science, and ecology to address the modern meaning crisis and illuminate the frontiers of human flourishing. Laura Dawn describes this as more than a podcast—it is a transmission for those who feel the true gravity of this moment and the call to contribute to the Great Restructuring. Together, we explore what it means to unlock our extraordinary capacities, strengthen the bonds that connect us to one another and the natural world, and step into leadership for a new era.…

ENROLLMENT OPEN FOR TRANSILIENCE: STARTING SEPTEMBER 13th. Join me for TRANSILIENCE: a 6-month training program for psychedelic coaches, integration guides and microdosing mentors who want to learn how to support others on the path of psychedelic transformation. The Wisdom of Darkness We live in a culture that holds the “Light” as superior to the Dark. In spiritual and medicine communities there’s a strong underlying narrative to move towards “enlightenment” but what is the impact it’s having on our health and wellbeing? Does the darkness hold the key to help us collectively move back into balance within ourselves? In this episode, Debohrah Eden Tull , the author of Luminous Darkness An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown, joins Laura Dawn to explore the medicine inherent in darkness and just how crucial this medicine is for us at a time of accelerating change and transition. Eden is a Zen meditation/mindfulness teacher, spiritual activist and sustainability educator. She has been practicing meditation for the past 30 years and teaching for over 20 years. She spent seven years as a monastic at a silent Zen Monastery, and has been immersed in sustainable communities for 25 years. In this episode we explore: The concept of Endarkenment The 5 pillars of Endarkenment Life as a teacher of love Cultivating resilience through restoration The darkness as a source of creativity The Shadow & Spiritual bypassing Our incessant need to fill space with stories and narratives The inner compass of interoceptive awareness The medicine of grief The potency of anger Transmuting sacred rage The necessity for compassion Our connection to this earth and how Nature models and illuminates the wisdom of darkness.

Why creativity is inherent in the process of inner transformation, and why creativity and transformation are two sides to the same coin. The essence of what 25 years of journeying with psychedelics and sacred plant medicines has taught me. A definition of creativity Exploring psychedelics as both "inspirogens" and "ideagens" (and why the names we give psychedelics matter.) Monophonic vs. Polyphasic cultures. Why my philosophy of life and creativity are one and the same. Why thinking in frameworks is helpful. Understanding that navigating medicine space is a skillset that you can learn to cultivate.

The Bigger Picture: Implications of Mainstreaming Psychedelics Through The "Clinical" Lens w/Alexander Beiner –64 1:38:42

منذ 2 years1:38:42

1:38:42

The primary narrative paving the pathway for the emergence and acceptance of psychedelic compounds into Western society is the narrative surrounding Psychedelic Therapy; psychedelics as a clinical treatment for mental illness. But what are the implications of viewing psychedelics through this lens? Laura Dawn speaks with Alexander Beiner about The Bigger Picture and not only the impact that lens has on our personal experience but on the culture at large. Alexander Beiner is a journalist and author of the book: 'The Bigger Picture: How psychedelics can help us make sense of the world'. In this episode of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast we explore: The hidden and far-reaching implications of mainstreaming psychedelics through a “medicalized” and clinical lens within a capitalistic model. Why “Psychedelic Therapy” is the dominant narrative and why we need to widen our frame. What is "The Psychedelic Trojan Horse"? And why is flawed? Power dynamics surrounding who makes decisions around psychedelics. Why the names and labels we use to describe psychedelic compounds matter. Why psychotomimetic might still be an appropriate word given our pathological cultural framework How do we avoid the mainstreaming of psychedelics becoming an elitist movement, the importance of access, and “the virtuals vs the physicals”.

How Psychedelics Enhance the Creative Process: from Incubation to Illumination - 62 1:22:20

منذ 2 years1:22:20

1:22:20

The World Economic Forum named creativity the most important skill set for leaders of our time. In this episode, weaving science with ceremony, Laura Dawn explores the broader question: Can psychedelics enhance our creative process? There are many different definitions of creativity. In the broadest sense, we could say that creativity is the process of translating our ideas and inner visions into tangible reality. Do you pay attention to how that process unfolds in your professional life? Could you articulate it? How do you come up with compelling ideas that have the potential to inspire change and then transmute them into reality? How do you evaluate them? How do you implement them? In this episode of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast, we explore: 5-phase framework for the creative process The different modes of cognition or mental states that underlie the various phases. Creative cognition is not a single state of mind; it is multiple states of mind. How psychedelics might help enhance specific phases of the process, and how we might want to integrate them (safely and responsibly) into the larger arc of bringing our ideas to life. How different phases of the creative process benefit from leveraging different kinds of creative thinking skills. Suggestions for how to apply this in your life.
