#30 – Unpacking the Psychedelic Renaissance with Hamilton Souther

To name but a few: Psychedelic tourism leads to endangering the very species the ceremonies rely on, and a lot of the sacred medicines, from Ayahuasca to Peyote are threatened by extinction. The psychedelic sacraments are in danger in consumerist societies being abused instead of unlocking their potential. 

There are a lot of phony gurus and curanderos around in the market. And the market is very opaque – mainly, obviously also due to the fact that in many countries working with the sacred sacraments is illegal. A lot of people sell shortcuts to healing and enlightenment. There is little interest in setting standards, procedures, processes, and a culture of care – and instead, the market forces are taking over, creating the next gold rush.

  • What are key learnings working as a coach and spiritual guide in the last years?
    • What are the pitfalls?
    • What are the lessons and iterations in teaching?
  • How to summarize the correct approach? 
    • How did you make an inventory of your own teachings?
    • We see a huge wave of people doing plant medicine but I personally see too little integration into everyday life, and also way too few offers in terms to integrate those peak experiences. Also, truly we need preparation for these intense, transformational spaces to really stick.
  • Let’s dive deep into the psychedelic renaissance:
    • What are ways to create conscious capitalism and awaken people that have leverage? 
    • How can we out-innovate capitalism? 
  • What can we do to prevent spiritual bypassing, spiritual materialism, and spiritual narcissism? Especially in the last years, instead of people getting “rid” of their egos, I see supercharged egos, using micro-dosing to quench the last bit of efficiency and genius in work life.
  • How is the conscious use of psychedelics and Web3 interlinked?
    • How can we encode mutually beneficial values of exchange that represent the myriad of different flows?
    • How can we create the next evolution of the internet?
    • How can we codify the linguistics of the visionary realms into code for blockchain and ERC20 tokens?
    • How can we unlock the value of creativity?

#9 Real Estate as a Driver of Change with Frank Sippel.

The title seems almost a contradiction as we see the housing and affordability crisis mainly driven by extractive real estate business models in many metropolitan areas around the globe.
But this is not carved in stone. We can truly sense into the soul of a property and feel into what that space within its given surrounding really wants to serve for. And create the circumstances that enable a broad variety of stakeholders to cocreate a place full of abundance including the arts and take sustainability really to the next level.

#8 Facilitating large scale cultural change with Pamela von Sabljar, Jeff Genung and Mila Aliana.

How can we facilitate the many chrysalis cells for the emerging, regenerative paradigm that are so far often not connected, when already aligning groups is quite challenging? We truly need groups of groups that share a common North Star, all while they still pursue their own goals, obviously. This is an undertaking that has never been done before on a global scale. But we know leaps in history are possible, from the abolition of slavery, the women’s liberations movement, the end of Apartheid, the fall of the Berlin wall.
