What happens when you sit around a bonfire, sharing stories, and reconnecting with your true self? Olivier Egli, founder at Why Story and the brain behind the Bonfire Exchange, takes us on a journey of discovery, revealing how leaders can create unified teams bonded over shared narratives rather than mere business objectives. This episode invites you to examine your own story and unravel the ways in which it can transform your leadership style.Have you ever wondered about the correlation between personal happiness and your true nature? Olivier Egli provokes us to explore this idea, shedding light on his own journey of choosing contentment over a high-paying job. We take on the conventional concepts of happiness and perfection, showcasing how growth and appreciating every moment are actually the keys to unlocking our true potential.

Watch & subscribe on  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leadershipedelicsThis week meet Luke Jensen, founder, and CEO of Neuro Enlightenment, a company at the intersection of neuroscience and plant shamanism. We worked with Luke and his team during the Sacred Creativity Retreat to measure the impact of ayahuasca ceremonies and creativity workshops on our guests, we were blown away with the results. Luke is from Nebraska and joined the US Marines when he was 18.  After returning from his deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 Luke was searching for meaning in life.  He experienced ayahuasca which changed and reshaped his perspective of reality.  This sent him on a quest to Peru where he spent time living in the jungle with Shipibo healers.  Luke started learning about QEEG brain mapping and different types of brain training.  He eventually became passionate about the potential of brain mapping and training in conjunction with plant medicines.  This led him to the creation of Neuro Enlightenment. We cover Luke’s personal journey from the Marines to his deep soul work that followed, what led him to brain mapping, and what he’s seen in his work at the intersection of neurofeedback and spirituality. After talking with Luke and using brain mapping during our retreat, I’m convinced this is a tool with huge potential in the psychedelic space. Interview not to be missed. We recorded this in person so checkout the video on YouTube as well which has extra footage from the retreat.💡Highlights💡Spiritual health & the spiritual side of brainwavesRedefining yourself and healing from soul lossBrain mapping, QEEG, training, and neurofeedbackImproving brain efficiency and resilience through neurofeedbackMeasuring the impact of psychedelics on brain plasticity and normalizationCats, neurofeedback & rocket fuel Connecting with Lukehttp://neuroenlightenment.com Neuro Enlightenment on Facebook and InstagramLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-jensen-658454262/Connecting with SébastienYouTube channel (watch the interviews!): https://www.youtube.com/@leadershipedelicsFooyad.com

Today on Leadershipedelics, we talk about music for psychedelic assisted therapy with Phil Dames, the music maker and director of operations at Roots to Thrive. We've had other members of Roots to Thrive on the show, Dr Pamela Kryskow and Shannon Dames. This is very intentional: they’ve got a great team and they’re doing great work. Roots to Thrive is Canada’s first and only multidisciplinary, non-profit healthcare practice to legally offer evidence-informed, group therapy programs that use a community of practice model, uniquely designed to address trauma and to promote resilience, and to also include the option of psilocybin-assisted and ketamine-assisted group therapy.” It’s a pleasure to get to know them and share their work. With Phil being a music maker, and music playing such an important role in psychedelic assisted therapy, we go deep in what it takes to create the perfect playlist for a therapy session, how different types of music are used at different points and with different medicines. We share many resources, all listed in the show notes. And of course, we bring it all back to leadership comparing leadership to a cattle dog, imagine that.💡Highlights💡Ketamine therapy in group settingCrafting and curating playlists for psychedelic-assisted therapyCreating more inclusive playlistsDifferent music for different medicineStructuring a playlistCustomizing at the cohort levelUse of tension and textures in songsLeadership as a cattle dogConnecting with PhilRoots to Thrive: https://rootstothrive.com/More about PhilPhil is the Director of operations at Roots to Thrive, a 12-week program aimed at addressing PTSD, treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and others.

Prior to Psychedelic Scene, Jason built a popular and successful radio station which was recognized as Best New Radio Station by Tucson Weekly. Jason shares his love and knowledge of psychedelic music bands, and his experience earlier this year with ketamine therapy, which stressed the importance of doing your research before selecting a clinic and the importance of using the right music for a psychedelic therapy session. We also explore the intersection between psychedelic music, recreational vs. therapeutic use of psychedelics, and creativity.  Enjoy 🙏❤️💡Highlights💡Psychedelic Scene MagazineLessons from Jason’s ketamine experienceImportance of integration workAntidepressants and psychedelics Music for therapyHistory of psychedelic musicRecreational use vs. therapeutic use and creativity🧠 Memorable Quotes 🧠[About Ketamine Clinics] “You have to research which clinic you’re going to and what their practices are, because a lot of clinics will just take your money and tell you to come back for more without really helping you.” “There has to be integration involved because just the ketamine alone is not enough to have a therapeutic value. It’s the combination of it: the integration with the ketamine therapy.”[About Music in Psychedelic Therapy] “If you’re listening to music that has lyrics, you sort of take on the theme of the lyrics and get removed from your own eternal self-processing.”“Presumably at some point people who are seeking healing through psychedelics will be healed and then what? Will they be done with psychedelics or will they want to continue to take them for the purpose of inspiration and recreation.”Connecting with JasonJason on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonlevalley/Psychedelic Scene Magazine: https://psychedelicscene.com/Links to resources mentionedKetamine treatment article: https://psychedelicscene.com/2022/03/29/the-ketamine-conundrum/Article on 5-MeO-DMT experience: https://psychedelicscene.com/2022/05/23/the-5-meo-dmt-experience-a-tool-for-transformation-and-healing/John Hopkins: MusicFor Psychedelic Therapy - https://open.spotify.com/album/2zY5p176SfmupXceLKT6bH?si=T4vBos94RV2SEg-CAzw8JwEast Forest: Music for Mushrooms: https://open.spotify.com/album/2LFyfGcBrrsvF8tECUs5gK?si=NXxlrUmuQjGtwxWhziyGnQConnecting with Sébastienfooyad.com
