Hi Friends,
Laura Dawn here. In this introduction to season two, I share some thoughts about the direction of this season, including some of the core themes that I’ll be exploring through conversations with some truly phenomenal human beings, and brilliant thought leaders, in the psychedelic space and beyond.
In this bonus episode, I dive into a pretty transparent share about what I've been witnessing in the psychedelic movement and an invitation for all of us to step up our game and do better.
What we are witnessing right now in the psychedelic space is truly unprecedented, and it's not necessarily all a "good" thing. There are a lot of different factors and forces at play that complicate things. We are all being forced to live our lives and operate within old paradigms and structures that were built for a different era. We are living in late-stage capitalism and these very powerful compounds are emerging in a western medicalized culture that doesn’t actually have a lot of recent historical context for sacramental use of hallucinogens.
Meanwhile, everyone's got a super strong opinion about how this movement "should" go down.
This season we'll be exploring a variety of very nuanced, tricky, and challenging topics that explores the complexity of this movement with a deeper inquiry as to how we can contribute to the movement in the best way possible, starting with the invitation to lean into these conversations by listening with an open heart and an open mind.
With the launch of season two, we also launched an entirely new website: www.lauradawn.co
