How Psychedelics Enhance the Creative Process: from Incubation to Illumination - 62

The World Economic Forum named creativity the most important skill set for leaders of our time. In this episode, weaving science with ceremony, Laura Dawn explores the broader question: Can psychedelics enhance our creative process? There are many different definitions of creativity. In the broadest sense, we could say that creativity is the process of translating our ideas and inner visions into tangible reality. Do you pay attention to how that process unfolds in your professional life? Could you articulate it? How do you come up with compelling ideas that have the potential to inspire change and then transmute them into reality? How do you evaluate them? How do you implement them? In this episode of the Psychedelic Leadership Podcast, we explore:5-phase framework for the creative processThe different modes of cognition or mental states that underlie the various phases. Creative cognition is not a single state of mind; it is multiple states of mind. How psychedelics might help enhance specific phases of the process, and how we might want to integrate them (safely and responsibly) into the larger arc of bringing our ideas to life. How different phases of the creative process benefit from leveraging different kinds of creative thinking skills. Suggestions for how to apply this in your life.
