In the latest episode of the Psychedelics Design Podcast, host Alexandra Plesner welcomes Joe Moore, co-founder and CEO of Psychedelics Today. This engaging conversation delves into the transformative power of psychedelics, their intersection with design, and the importance of education in this evolving field.
Joe shares his journey from a tech background to becoming a leading voice in psychedelic education. He discusses how his early experiences with transpersonal psychology and breathwork led him to co-create one of the most recognized psychedelic podcasts. The mission of the founders, Joe Moore and Kyle Buller, was clear: to foster understanding and safe practices within the psychedelic community, especially during times of increased interest and exploration.
Key Themes Explored
The Birth of Psychedelics Today: Joe recounts how he and his co-founder Kyle Buller began their podcast as a way to share knowledge and insights about psychedelics, drawing inspiration from their mentors, including Dr. Stanislav Grof. Their initial goal was simply to create a platform for discussion, which unexpectedly evolved into a comprehensive educational resource.
Education as Empowerment: A significant focus of the episode is on the need for proper training and mentorship in psychedelic practices. Joe emphasizes that many individuals entering this space lack guidance, which can lead to risks. He believes that by providing accessible education, they can help mitigate these dangers and promote safer experiences.
The Future of Psychedelic Integration: The conversation also touches on the ongoing drug war and its implications for psychedelic use. Joe argues that as people continue to seek out these substances, it is crucial to equip them with knowledge about safe practices and integration techniques.
