Dear Psychedelics Design Community, Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastating wildfires engulfing Los Angeles. Many in our community and friends have been forced to evacuate, with some having lost their homes already. While we're safe, this crisis underscores the harsh reality of climate disasters affecting us all. These January wildfires, unprecedented in scale, highlight the intensifying impact of climate change. Today, we forgo our usual inspirational content to focus on immediate action. This crisis touches every living being—human, animal, and the very landscape itself. We put together a list of shelters and resources and hope this helps a little and raises awareness. https://lnkd.in/dw4_4KrE

In this latest episode of the Psychedelics Design Podcast, Alexandra Plesner engages in a profound conversation with Cesar Marin, the founder of Cultivating Wisdom and Microdosing Over 50. This episode dives into the transformative power of microdosing and its role in personal growth, particularly for individuals over 50. Cesar, a former CNN producer turned thought leader in the psychedelic space, shares his insights on how microdosing can enhance clarity, creativity, and overall well-being. Cultivating Wisdom embodies the concept of "Mindful Apparel for Conscious Living," using fashion as a powerful catalyst for meaningful conversations about psychedelics. By wearing psychedelic-inspired and subtle apparel in everyday settings, we can help normalize discussions about these substances. This gradual exposure can reduce stigma and create a more open environment for honest dialogue. 👉 Use code PsyDesign for an exclusive 30% off your wisdom wear!

In this episode, my guest is Devon Phillips⁠, Community & Partnerships Officer at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He is also the founder of the innovative harm-reduction fashion company, More Life. Devon has a background in neuroscience and human-centred design. With his work, he develops strategies and partnerships to answer the question: “How do we responsibly mainstream psychedelics?” He is a creative through and through and a lover of innovation, art, design, music, and fashion – we had the absolute pleasure of having him speak at our event this summer and are super happy to have the chance to extend that conversation today. This episode should interest creatives, educators, activists, entrepreneurs, and design enthusiasts. Devon is always fun and inspiring to talk to! Go check it out here: https://lnkd.in/d4-br-eA

Few movements have left as profound an impact in the ever-evolving landscape of visual art and design as the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. Today, we find ourselves in the height of a new area that marries the mind-bending aesthetics of the past with the limitless possibilities of AI and XR. This contemporary movement, championed by digital artists like Ines Alpha, redefines our understanding of altered states and visual perception in the digital age. The fusion of AI, XR, and psychedelic compounds and aesthetics represents an unimaginable new chapter in the ongoing exploration of consciousness and perception. Artists are at the forefront of this digital psychedelic revolution, creating experiences that challenge our understanding of reality and push the boundaries of what's possible. Mentioning mikaela de la myco, Dennis Walker, Vital Psychedelic Training William Blake, George Monty's podcast, PsyAware, OpenAI, Breaking Convention, Midjourney, Shepard Fairey, Wes Wilson and Ines Alpha - a wild ride through psychedelic art, design and new technologies. https://lnkd.in/d4x5hndF
