When the suffering of the world leaves us activated, enraged, or hopeless… how do we transmute that pain into action, healing, and real change?

In this episode, Nicky reveals how to be responsible for your individual heartbreak and outrage at what’s happening in the world, to become a catalyst for collective evolution and courageous leadership.

Special guest Emily Price joins Nicky to ask the difficult questions about how the world is appearing to us, navigating global conflict, and how to take responsibility for how we are showing up to create effective change. Speak specifically on current world events that so many people are incredibly activated by.

If you care about the state of our planet and species, you’re not going to want to miss this!

• ​Spiritual bypassing is not peace; only by facing the darkness with honesty and compassion can we stand as agents of healing and transformation.

Remember:

Transformation always feels uncomfortable – until it doesn't. Your next breakthrough might just be on the other side of what feels like falling apart.

I’m delighted to offer you an interview with a beautiful multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide, East Forest. He has just released "Music for Mushrooms," a feature-length narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community. Since 2008, East Forest’s “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion.

East Forest’s approach promotes non-religious, accessible spirituality. He's a faculty member at the Esalen Institute and has collaborated with institutions across social justice, mental health, science, music, and creative fields, including Google, Johns Hopkins, UCSF, Stanford, and TED.

In this episode, we discuss the power of music and mushrooms in the process of maturation and evolving as human beings. We also invite you to sign up and watch “Music for Mushrooms” online on December 12th, as well as to listen to the” Official Documentary Soundtrack” on your favorite streaming platform.
