From Ayahuasca retreats for CEOs to ketamine coaches for corporate leaders, we explore the world of corporate psychedelic use.
In this episode, Lynn and Molly explore the differences between using psychedelics to optimize work performance and using them for healing. We share their worries about using psychedelics to reinforce existing capitalist hierarchies. We discuss how the intertwining of professional and spiritual realms can degrade our sense of self worth. Along the way, we question the idea of "taking your whole self to work," and the dangers of outsourcing your personal spiritual and ethical questions to an employer (or to any spiritually immature institution).
Lynn shares stories and insights from her visit to the Shipibo people in Peru, where she learned about some traditional uses of Ayahuasca.
