Does a psychedelic microdose offer dangerous wisdom?

Jim Fadiman, one of the most venerable leaders in the psychedelic renaissance of the dominant culture, together with Buddhist yogini and holistic health practitioner Rachael Henrichsen, join us to discuss Jim's new book, Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance---the first comprehensive book on microdosing. Microdosing potentially offers some wonderful dangerous wisdom. You can find the book, and also report your experiences with microdosing, here:

In the introduction to his book, Jim writes:

I’ve been investigating psychedelics, professionally and personally, since the early 1960’s. Until 15 years ago I knew nothing about very small doses, nor did anyone else I knew. However, I’ve focused on little else since then, discovering, reviewing, and sharing the extraordinary results that people have reported after taking a 10th or less of a full-on psychedelic trip dose. During all those other decades I was fixated on transcendent doses (not concert, not recreational, not therapeutic, not even problem solving). As I reflect on what I know now, I am filled with wonder and chagrin as well as gratitude and humility.

I was introduced to psychedelics one night at a sidewalk cafe in Paris in 1961, when my favorite professor, Richard Alpert (later Ram Dass), put a pill into my hand and said, “The greatest thing in the world has happened to me, and I want to share it with you.” A few months later, no longer in Paris, I was a draft-dodging psychology graduate student at Stanford University. Apart from my academics, I worked off-campus with a private clinic that was pioneering psychedelic psychotherapy. There, I took a high dose of LSD in a safe, guided environment and had an incredible awakening, becoming aware of the interconnectedness of all things. That realization and its aftermath has shaped the rest of my life.

These days, there is an ever-expanding number of books by people recounting how all of those astounding, amazing, fantastic trips changed their lives.

This is not one of those.

It is, instead, about how thousands and thousands of people all over the world have improved their health and their capacities without the razzle dazzle, heaven-opening, reality-expanding experiences that made the 60’s such an optimistic culture-changing decade.

How can horses lead transformations in human souls and in human cultures? They do this by presencing an ancient wisdom that always appears vibrantly alive and alove.

A “flying lead change” allows a running horse to respond with breathtaking grace to changing conditions. “Collectively, we need a similar physics-defying maneuver,” Wendorf writes in her book, Flying Lead Change: 56 Million Years of Wisdom for Leading and Living.

Kelly and I discuss her book, which offers an essential guide to nature-based leadership inspired by the wisdom of indigenous teachings and horses.

Kelly locates a common element to the challenges and crises of our modern age in disconnection―from each other, our planet, and the sense that our lives have purpose and meaning. Kelly's work offers a new approach to leading and living inspired by two profound sources of ancient wisdom: original peoples and Equus (the horse), grounded in evidence-based principles of neuroscience.

Her book discusses the key elements to a horse-inspired approach, including:

• Listening―the starting point for all leadership, in which we suspend our biases and preferences

• Care―explore the ancient, indigenous understanding of care that is reciprocal, empathic, and beneficial to all

• Presence―meeting the here and now with vulnerability, openness, and a stable foundation

• Safety―how a masterful leader creates a sense of group resilience and strength by “leading from behind” for the welfare of all

• Connection―ways to move away from coercion and force to promote genuine communication and belonging

• Peace―creating group harmony right now through the surprising concepts of “congruence” and “tempo”

• Freedom―returning to our wild nature that is inherently free, unbridled, and unbroken

• Joy―moving beyond temporary happiness to a state of wholehearted engagement of life, whatever the circumstances
