Psychedelics, Altered States & Entanglement / Dr David Luke","description":"Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr David Luke, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Greenwich.\n\nI first encountered David\u2019s work a few years ago when I attended the biennial academic conference, Breaking Convention, of which David is a co-founder, director and chair. As you may know, I speak at a lot of conferences for my work, and I was particularly struck by this one, for their skill in weaving together different disciplines associated with the research of psychedelic substances, which is an area that is not only rich, but also very complex.\n\nOver the course of a few days I encountered talks and presentations spanning everything from medicine, psychology and anthropology, to sociology, law, politics and the arts \u2013 and so I thought who better to explore the theme of integration with, than David.\n\nHaving published more than 100 academic papers, including ten books, David\u2019s work focuses on transpersonal experiences, anomalous phenomena and altered states of consciousness, especially those occasioned by psychedelics.\n\nWhen he is not running clinical drug trials with LSD, doing DMT field experiments or observing apparent weather control with Mexican shamans, he directs the Ecology, Cosmos and Consciousness salon.\n\nRecorded on 13th Oct 2022.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/b2fd4798-0fe3-46e2-9aec-cabbac8bdedf/artworks-lzgkaukj4zf9lihh-ybrvkw-t3000x3000.jpg"}
