How can we come back into right relationship with ourselves and with nature, the baseline reality we are embedded in? How can we know our place in the web of life?
Behind the unprecedented civilizational collapse we are living through, the earth herself is in a cyclical transformation fuelled by runaway global warming and species extinction. We are being forced to evolve or die – and we can feel in ourselves whether we are contracting and holding on, or letting go in these times of change.
Ben Lee may seem like an unlikely prophet, but his finely crafted indy pop artifacts have been challenging the status quo since 1993, when he first exploded on the Australian music scene at the tender age of 14 with the band Noise Addict. After some defining releases on the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal Records label, Lee’s adult solo career took off with pop anthems like “Gamble Everything for Love,” and “Catch my Disease” from the 2005 album Awake is the New Sleep.
We live in unprecedented times that promise to transform not just how we live, but who we are and what our place is in the web of life. Humanity is awakening – whether it wants to or not – and the triggers are everywhere: from Covid 19, runaway global warming and societal collapse… How can psychedelics and entheogens assist in this awakening at the same time forces of control and global authoritarianism try to hold on to the old? How can we let go and trust the process?
