Description

What exactly is the role of Psychedelics in the development of the world's spiritual traditions?
Joining today is researcher and co-founder of Eudelics, Dr Richard Chambers.
Richard illuminates a history of psychedelic traditions, its suppression over many years by religious groups and governments, and its potential for exploring higher consciousness in safe and mindful settings.
Touching on neuroplasticity, his particular interest in psychedelics for leadership development, and the cross-over of Hindusim and Buddhism, our discussion leaves no stone unturned!
