RU259: CHAWEON KOO PRESENTS "ANGELS, DEMONS & KETAMINE" PSYCHOANALYSIS, ART, OCCULT
RU259: CHAWEON KOO PRESENTS “ANGELS, DEMONS & KETAMINE” http://www.renderingunconscious.org/occult/ru259-chaweon-koo-presents-angels-demons-ketamine/
Watch at YouTube: https://youtu.be/c5JGueIwcXg?si=EdYl27EUFr7-M0DE
This episode is a recording of a presentation by Chaweon Koo on “Angels, Demons & Ketamine” at Morbid Anatomy Museum online June 11, 2023. https://www.morbidanatomy.org
Mysticism often involves sacred plants and mind-altering substances to aid in ritual journeying. The futurist version may also involve brain hacking via ketamine, mixed with the chaos magick and animism inherent in intense psychology modalities like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Occultist and writer Chaweon Koo joins Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamson to discuss where bio-hacking, 8 esoteric body circuits, a scientist who talks to dolphins, and modern modes of inner journeying and magick intertwine.
Chaweon Koo is a writer at the intersection of pop culture, the occult, and futurism. Her TikTok @chaweonkoo is one of the most popular occult accounts on the platform. She also interviews some of the most distinguished occultists and witches in the English-speaking world on her YouTube, Witches & Wine. Her book Spell Bound details her journey from an atheist witch into one of the most visible East Asian practitioners of both Eastern and Western occult traditions. https://beacons.ai/chaweonkoo
The Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult series of events, curated by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, is dedicated to exploring the intersections and integration of psychoanalytic theory, the creative arts, occult practices, and folk magic traditions. http://psychartcult.org

RU258: DON GREIF ON PSYCHOANALYTIC FORMATION, DISCONTENT, FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY, GRIEF & LOSS
Rendering Unconscious episode 258.
Dr. Don Greif is a forensic psychologist and psychoanalyst practicing in New York City. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/don-greif-new-york-ny/274760
(Das) Unbehagen is a collective for those who love psychoanalysis, including clinicians, academics, artists and intellectuals. It is an association formed for the investigation of psychoanalysis free from the constraints of theoretical allegiance, institutes and other authorizing bodies, including local and national organizations. Unbehagen is dedicated to the creation of a space where members can learn to be practitioners of the unconscious. As a group of peers, we are creating a series of lateral relationships with those who likewise seek to revitalize psychoanalytic practice in an ethical manner. Through clinical study days, reading groups, peer supervision, and working groups investigating topics from support structures for those taking on analytic work independently, to the investigation of systematized violence in mental health services in America, to the possibility of forming a clinic to bring psychoanalysis to underserved populations, Unbehagen hopes to give new impetus to Freud’s discoveries. http://dasunbehagen.org

Rendering Unconscious is a labor of love put together by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair with no support from outside sources. All support comes from the listeners and fans. All episodes of Rendering Unconscious are available streaming and most also have video posted up at YouTube for those who prefer to watch the discussion and to provide transcription of podcast content.
None of the podcast content is hidden behind paywalls. All podcast content is made available for everyone to access. Dr. Sinclair does all the interviews, scheduling, editing of video and audio content, management of the website, marketing and promotion herself, with no aid from others.
