In this conversation Marissa Feinberg and me explore the intersection of psychedelics and climate action, discussing how psychedelics can foster a sense of oneness with nature and help alleviate eco-anxiety. We delve into the growing recognition of eco-anxiety in psychology, the shift of climate issues from fringe to mainstream, and the role of youth activism through movements like Fridays for Future. The discussion also touches on the importance of community, the impact of personal choices on climate guilt, and the transformative potential of psychedelics in fostering compassion and empathy towards the environment. We also explore the intersection of climate action and psychedelics, discussing the challenges of climate messaging, the importance of community and personal connections, and innovative solutions to environmental issues. So how can psychedelics facilitate self-discovery and a reconnection to nature, while also emphasizing the need for localized climate initiatives and collective healing. This dialogue highlights the urgency of accelerating consciousness shifts to inspire meaningful climate action. TAKEAWAYS Psychedelics can inspire a profound oneness with all life. Eco-anxiety is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology. A consciousness shift is necessary for meaningful climate action. Psychedelics can help individuals reconnect with nature and their agency. Climate guilt can arise from awareness of personal choices impacting the environment. Community engagement is essential for collective climate action. Experiencing psychedelics can enhance compassion and empathy towards the environment. The climate crisis is increasingly recognized as a mental health issue. Shifting from numbing to caring about the environment is vital for progress. Funding cuts can hinder climate organizations' messaging. Psychedelics can lead to deeper self-awareness and healing. Experiences in nature can foster a sense of peace and connection.
