I interviewed Josh Schrei, host of The Emerald - if you haven’t checked it out, do yourself a favour. In this clip we talk about the true nature of story and why storytelling is so essential to our lives.

It’s official: psychedelics can lead to better s*x. A recent study by Tommaso Barba and Bruna Giribaldi at Imperial College looked at the effect of psychedelics on sexual functioning - check out the reel to see what they found. Imperial are running a new study on romantic couples who take psychedelics and MDMA together, which you can be part of - link in my bio. . . . . #psychedelicresearch #science #psychedelicscience #psychedelictherapy #sexualhealth #ValentinesDay #coupleswhotrip

In a time of increasing polarisation and political tension, can laughter give us a way out? I interviewed controversial comedian @FinTaylorcomedy to find out - and got some surprising answers.

Psychedelics are going mainstream, but with great power comes great responsibility. How do we apply the lessons we learn from these molecules and medicines to our lives in a meaningful way? Collectively, how can we take the wisdom of the psychedelic experience and use it to move beyond consumer culture into new territory?

Ketamine has emerged as a promising treatment for depression with clinics opening up all over the United States and UK. The tragic death of Matthew Perry has opened up discussion about the risks and power of ketamine - and questions about how the drug is being marketed by clinics. What can we learn from his tragic death, and what isn’t being communicated in the mainstream story? #matthewperry #depression #treatmentresistantdepression #pharma #ketaminepatient #psychedelicresearch

We are walking out of a past that can no longer sustain us and into a future that is yet to be born. At this moment in history, we're facing multiple overlapping crises in ecology, politics, economics and culture. Runaway AI, political polarisation, geopolitical instability and other problems are all converging at once. Some have called this the 'meta-crisis', and it can feel overwhelming. However, the word crisis derives from the Greek krinein, to decide. It’s an inflection point; as much an opportunity as a catastrophe. What defines the meta-crisis more than anything is its complexity. Whether we're trying to change our political systems, cultures, organisations or even our own minds, we're wrestling with complex systems. They have a life of their own, evolving and changing while we're trying to make sense of them. To thrive in the world today, and find new solutions, we need to develop a new relationship to complexity. Not just in the systems that make up our lives, but our own inner worlds, and the places where they meet. ​That doesn't just mean gaining an intellectual understanding, but learning how to embody and flow with uncertainty, nuance and contradictory information. It means practicing new ways of seeing and being that allow us to truly engage with the complexity of the world and our lives. To find those capacities, we have to go to the cutting edge of cognitive science, complexity theory, systems change and personal development. New Ways of Knowing will give you the tools, theories and practices to help you re-orient your sensemaking, and deepen your connectedness to other people and the world. As well as curated content that helps simplify complexity theory, systems change, mythopoetics and cognitive science, you will learn practices to help you to approach problems and contradictions from a new perspective. You'll learn how to access new insights, deepen your understanding of the systems around and within you, and flow with complexity in every aspect of your life.
