Hello Results May Vary listeners, it’s Tracy! I’m excited to share this very special episode featuring a panel conversation on the topic of Psychedelic Medicine and Design. I recently co-hosted this live event at the Stanford University Hasso Plattner Institute of Design aka the dschool, with my teaching colleagues Elysa Fenenboch and Dr. Gianni Glick. 

We set out to explore the question, what IS the role of design as we transition psychedelic medicine from the research lab to medical clinics and journey spaces? How might they be used for the most good to individuals, cultures, and ecological ecosystems, including the plants and molecules themselves. 

Let me introduce our guests in order of how you’ll hear them in the recording:

Ismail Ali is the Director of Policy and Advocacy for MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies 

Dr. Allison Feduccia is a neuropharmacologist, psychedelic researcher and educator

Ayize Jama-Everet is an author, professor, producer, and guerilla theologian

Dr. Kyra Bobinet, who you may know from being a guest on this show twice, is also known as Me’me and is an enrolled member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and the founder and CEO of health tech company FreshTri

The pandemic has taken its toll on many people's romantic relationships. How can passion thrive as the world starts to rebuild? Katie Love is a life designer and expert on the human heart. The RMV chat to her about how to build a co-creative relationship, how to re-spark passion and when to decide if a relationship is coming to an end.

The pandemic is forcing us to rethink how we work but how can you separate the home and the office if they're both the same place? Chris and Katia chat with life designer Ashley Jablow about how to overcome a toxic culture of excessive work. They also talk about the power of intuition and what true growth feels like.
