In this episode I break a taboo by sharing my personal experience of an altered state of consciousness through legal psychedelics and how it has deeply impacted me positively in my life and in my work. I interviewed Christopher Kabakis and Dmitrij Achelrod (PHD), co-founders of Evolute Institute, who present their purpose, approach and results with leaders.
Let me explain. We all know it, in an ever-more uncertain and brutal world, organizations need leaders able to embrace complexity and to find ways to move forward while creating positive impact by integrating what seems opposite, without being taken by their own bias, preferences or psychological wounds. This ability requires a journey of self-growth. Over the last 30-40 years, the field of leadership development has been mostly based on psychological/cognitive approaches which indeed bring about results, but often quite slowly and with lots of effort. It is fair to say that it takes time to grow when your personal journey is happening through your conscious mind, precisely because the field of growth IS the uncounsious. So could we find a faster and simpler way to do it?
Evolute Institute offers a research-based, professional and innovative approach to organizational leadership development by using the power of altered states of consciousness, including breath-work, wilderness, mindfulness and legal psychedelics. For curated and courageous leaders who have already started their inner development journey and want to progress, they offer a series of scientifically informed and wisdom-inspired personal development methods with their summoned team of experienced facilitators, leadership coaches, as well as clinical experts and psycho-spiritual guides. They are based in Germany. An invitation for mature leaders to suspend judgement, listen, and then make up their mind...!  https://evolute-institute.com
