Art, Psychedelics, and Consciousness: A Catch-Up with Dr. Laura and Matthew
To me, it's like learning to trust life, like learning to trust existence is really where a lot of the great gifts of these compounds are.
Ever wondered how psychedelics can change your artistic vision? In this episode of 'We Changed Our Minds', hosts Dr. Laura and Matthew take a breather from their usual guest lineup to catch up on some recent events and personal experiences. From San Francisco Bicycle Day to Laura’s bout with COVID, they cover it all. But the real magic happens when they dive into one of their favorite topics: the relationship between artistry and altered states of consciousness.
They share their thoughts on how psychedelics can influence creativity and offer tips for preparing for a positive psychedelic experience. As a bonus, they also answer some listener questions and introduce new music from Utopia and Popsiclez. And if you're curious about what’s coming next, stay tuned for their upcoming guest, Professor Stan McDaniels, a retired philosophy professor and key figure in the Haight-Ashbury scene during the Summer of Love.
This episode is a mix of personal stories, deep dives into consciousness, and some great tunes—perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of art and psychedelics.
