“I came to the realization that when it comes to spiritual and emotional healing for the modern day. It's really not about plant medicine or modern psychotherapy, It's actually the intersection of both. And that's where I really found tremendous healing, where I would have a medicine experience, and then I would go sit with a therapist for the next eight weeks.” - Wes Carter

Today on Gravity:

• Exploring the entrepreneurial journey, the challenges faced in a family-owned business spanning three generations.
• Understanding the importance of personal development in navigating family dynamics and leading a family business.
• The transformative power of plant medicine, the integration of healing modalities, and the process of uncovering one's true self.
• The importance of integrating personal passions with professional life for a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

This week, I’m re-releasing a previous episode featuring my friend Ken Jordan who passed away recently. I’m saddened at the loss of Ken who was such a beautiful soul, a wonderful man and a bright light in this world. Ken was instrumental in the psychedelics movement through his advocacy and journalism as founder of Lucid News. 

Ken left an imprint on me as a friend and collaborator. I will remember him fondly and carry his energy forward. My heart goes out to his family and friends. 

I wanted to honor Ken by re-releasing this episode to share his message with the world. His life story is a beautiful one and one that ended too early. 

I hope you enjoy & please check out Ken's publication, Lucid News to learn more about his legacy and journalism focused on the advancement of psychedelics.

“Part of the problem—the illness we're all suffering from—is consumerism. We've built a capitalist society that has its beautiful parts, too. But the idea of turning everyone toward consumerism equates to depression. The human spirit needs to create; it's the opposite of consumerism. And so, it doesn't matter whether you're creating a poem, a piece of art, a song, or singing—you must create to be alive.” —Chris Pan
