Deep Dive with Alex Grey & Allyson Grey: Psychedelic Art, Cognitive Liberty, and Spiritual Practices
What does it mean to advocate for cognitive liberty? How does one integrate art into the psychedelic experience? And how has the psychedelic movement evolved over the years? We're discussing all of this, and then some, with visionary artists Alex Grey and Allyson Grey.
In this episode we explore themes of mysticism, long-term effects of psychedelics, and the role of art in conveying psychedelic experiences. The Greys also share their insights into their creative process and their work at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.
