Dr. Chris Johnstone, medical doctor, resilience expert, and long-time collaborator of Joanna Macy, joins Laura Dawn to explore The Work That Reconnects and the power of Active Hope in navigating todayās crises. Drawing on decades of teaching alongside Macy, Chris shares how we can move through grief and despair into renewed purpose by engaging with the spiral of The Work That Reconnects: starting with gratitude, honoring our pain for the world, seeing with new eyes, and going forth with inspired action. Together, they discuss how the concept of The Great Turning invites us to embrace our role in this time of profound change, cultivating resilience, imagination, and a deep connection to the web of life.

Welcome to Dear Humanity, a podcast born from the heart of a transformative era. In this trailer, host Laura Dawn introduces the vision behind the showāa powerful invitation to explore what it means to be fully human during this time of profound change.
We are living through the ending of an era, a time that many elders call the Great Turning. As the old ways dissolve, we find ourselves in the midst of a collective Rite of Passageāa Great Restructuring that is reconfiguring every aspect of our lives. This podcast is for those who feel the call to step forth, midwifing this change with courage, creativity, compassion, and care.
Through transformative conversations with influential change-makers, elders, visionaries, and innovators, Dear Humanity dives into the essential questions of our time:
ā¢ How do we live and lead deeply purposeful and inspired lives amidst political division, ecological devastation, and systemic crises?
ā¢ How do we stay grounded and resilient while supporting meaningful work without succumbing to burnout or despair?
ā¢ How do we reimagine and create systems rooted in love, connection, belonging, and wisdom that render the old ways obsolete?
This show bridges ancient wisdom traditions with cutting-edge fields like psychedelics, creativity, neuroscience, cognitive science, and ecology to address the modern meaning crisis and illuminate the frontiers of human flourishing.
Laura Dawn describes this as more than a podcastāit is a transmission for those who feel the true gravity of this moment and the call to contribute to the Great Restructuring.
Together, we explore what it means to unlock our extraordinary capacities, strengthen the bonds that connect us to one another and the natural world, and step into leadership for a new era.

The primary narrative paving the pathway for the emergence and acceptance of psychedelic compounds into Western society is the narrative surrounding Psychedelic Therapy; psychedelics as a clinical treatment for mental illness.
But what are the implications of viewing psychedelics through this lens? Laura Dawn speaks with Alexander Beiner about The Bigger Picture and not only the impact that lens has on our personal experience but on the culture at large.
Alexander Beiner is a journalist and author of the book: 'The Bigger Picture: How psychedelics can help us make sense of the world'.
In this episode of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast we explore:
The hidden and far-reaching implications of mainstreaming psychedelics through a āmedicalizedā and clinical lens within a capitalistic model. Why āPsychedelic Therapyā is the dominant narrative and why we need to widen our frame. What is "The Psychedelic Trojan Horse"? And why is flawed? Power dynamics surrounding who makes decisions around psychedelics. Why the names and labels we use to describe psychedelic compounds matter. Why psychotomimetic might still be an appropriate word given our pathological cultural frameworkHow do we avoid the mainstreaming of psychedelics becoming an elitist movement, the importance of access, and āthe virtuals vs the physicalsā.Click here to see FULL list of topics explored, resources mentioned and learn more about Alexander Beiner.

The World Economic Forum named creativity the most important skill set for leaders of our time.
In this episode, weaving science with ceremony, Laura Dawn explores the broader question: Can psychedelics enhance our creative process?
There are many different definitions of creativity. In the broadest sense, we could say that creativity is the process of translating our ideas and inner visions into tangible reality.
Do you pay attention to how that process unfolds in your professional life? Could you articulate it? How do you come up with compelling ideas that have the potential to inspire change and then transmute them into reality? How do you evaluate them? How do you implement them?
In this episode of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast, we explore:
5-phase framework for the creative processThe different modes of cognition or mental states that underlie the various phases. Creative cognition is not a single state of mind; it is multiple states of mind. How psychedelics might help enhance specific phases of the process, and how we might want to integrate them (safely and responsibly) into the larger arc of bringing our ideas to life. How different phases of the creative process benefit from leveraging different kinds of creative thinking skills. Suggestions for how to apply this in your life.Click here to access this episode's full transcript and a complete list of resources.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast!
As we enter this new era of artificial intelligence, we are being called to level up, and upgrade our human cognition, step into the full expression of our innate intelligence, unlock a deeper sense of wisdom, and leverage the aspects that make us uniquely human. We can do this by expanding our capacity to vision, to perceive possibility, imagine and dream the impossible, and then make those visions a reality.
And I believe that my work at the forefront of psychedelics and creative cognition is more relevant than ever before. I genuinely feel compelled, inspired, and a deep sense of responsibility to share this knowledge with you, so that we can meet our growth edge together.
Because, from my perspective, sacred plant medicines and psychedelics are arguably the most powerful bio-technologies available to us, that we can learn to work with to support this kind of mind expansion and neural upgrade and teach us the crucial skillsets and mindsets to successfully navigate these times of accelerating change.
If you rely on your mind and your capacity to think in order to succeed professionally, whether you are an entrepreneur, content creator, coach, creative or thought leader...If you are interested in understanding the science and wisdom of how psychedelics and sacred plant medicines can help optimize your capacity to:
Think more creativelyVision more clearlyStrengthen your mental resilience, Stay more focused and hone your awareness and attention Make better decisionsLearn more quicklyGenerate better ideasAsk better questionsManage stress, prevent burnout, and mitigate overwhelm.This season of The Psychedelic Leadership is for you.

Weaving Astrology & Medicine Work:
Can the position and the movement of planets that are so far away play a significant role in the patterns that emerge and manifest in our lives? Patterns related to relationships, or what's unfolding in our careers, or patterns related to home and where we live?
So many of us come to ceremony and show up at the altar to pray for healing and to lean into what we want to manifest in our lives. And if astrology points to destiny and karma, where does free will and the power of prayer and intention enter the equation? Can intention change our destiny?
And can it be beneficial to understand your astrological chart and weave that awareness into personal work you do with psychedelics and sacred plant medicines?
These are the questions that Laura Dawn explores with Vedic astrologer and medicine musician Tara Divina.
Tara covers the 12 houses of vedic astrology and shares really interesting insights into what is unfolding astrologically right now, influencing patterns that are up for most of us, and what we might want to consider paying particular attention to.
In this episode we talk about destiny versus prayer, the difference between Vedic astrology and Western astrology, grief as an essential part of the creative process, the important of letting go, creativity, and how the medicine supports us her on the path as a visionary entrepreneur.

Imagine a world where generosity and giving to others is more valued than accumulating wealth and profit. Imagine a world where all life, and all of natureās elements, including the water we drink and the air we breathe is equally valued. This is not only a deeply held prayer and a vision for the future, it is how indigenous cultures have lived in balance with the earth since the dawn of time, guided by Original Principles.
According to Indigenous Otemi-Toltec Elder, Mindahi Bastisa, A world guided by Original Principles is not just possible ā it is inevitable.
In this episode, I invited Grandmother Jyoti and Mindahi Bastisa to share their wisdom and teachings surrounding the Original Principles they speak of.
