In this episode, Laura Dawn speaks with influential thought leader and author of Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, Charles Eisenstein.

We discuss:

• Charles' recent psychedelic experiences of ego-dissolution
• How psychedelics have influenced him as a thought leader
• Wise advice for the psychedelic leaders of our time
• The process of reintegration back into the matrix and old paradigm after psychedelic experiences. 
• How this psychedelic renaissance is different than the 60’s
• The role psychedelics are playing to help us move from the narrative of separation towards interbeing
• The foundational importance of understanding our psychedelic experiences through the lens of relationship and connection. 
• Charles’ thoughts on letting go, truth, trust and courage.
• The subtleties of the “war on self.”
• Reframing activism by moving away from the narrative of trying to “make things happen” versus connecting to the larger universal intelligence and listening, and then allowing things to happen. 
• How plant medicines are helping us move through this time of upheaval and transition?
• Conceptual frameworks (like eastern philosophy or quantum physics) he draws upon as helpful psychedelic roadmaps
