Psych*del^cs, Panpsychism, and the Edges of Reality: A Philosophical Inquiry with Dr. Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes

Saison 4

mercredi 9 avril 2025 • Durée 01:05:59

Exploring consciousness, metaphysics, and psychedelic insight through the lens of Spinietzschean thought.

In this mind-expanding episode of The Awaken Podcast, Natasja is joined by Dr. Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes, philosopher of mind, metaphysician, and lecturer at the University of Exeter. Renowned for bridging ancient philosophical questions with modern psychedelic insight, Peter invites us into a layered inquiry on consciousness, altered states, and the mysteries embedded within nature itself.

From Spinoza to Nietzsche, Kant to panpsychism, this conversation travels through rich philosophical terrain—exploring how altered states may not only expand the mind, but also reframe our understanding of what mind is.

In this episode, we explore:

What is consciousness—and is it embedded in or emergent from nature?
How psychedelics challenge traditional views of the mind-body problem
Can altered states give us access to otherwise hidden layers of reality?
How metaphysical frameworks like panpsychism and pantheism influence the interpretation of psychedelic experiences
Why plants, fungi—and perhaps even matter itself—may be conscious in ways we overlook
The intersection of Spinietzschean philosophy and expanded states of awareness
What philosophers like Kant might say about psychedelic experience
The role of awe, sublimity, and moral insight beyond reason
Key philosophical questions in psychedelic research that remain unexplored

This episode is a contemplative feast for psychonauts, scholars, and seekers alike—an invitation to see not just differently, but deeper.

The Initiatrix Within: A Return to What Matters

Saison 4

mardi 8 avril 2025 • Durée 13:43

‘Feminine Intelligence, Somatic Depth, and Expanded States’

In this timely and thought-provoking solo episode, Natasja Pelgrom opens Season 4 of The Awaken Podcast with a powerful call to remember the forgotten arc of transformation—one rooted not in the peaks of expanded states experience, but in the embodied return.

Drawing from decades of space holding, ancient initiatory wisdom, and her own recent darkness retreat, Natasja reframes psych*del^cs and other expanded states not as interventions, but as initiations. At the heart of this return is the Initiatrix archetype—a feminine intelligence that guides transformation through descent, mystery, and relational leadership.

In this episode, we explore:

Why modern psych*delic culture is obsessed with ego death and “how many journeys”
The deeper questions we should be asking about integration and embodiment
The Initiatrix archetype as a model for feminine-informed facilitation
Natasja’s 3-day darkness retreat as a lived descent—and why it changed her leadership
Polyvagal theory, the default mode network, and the neuroscience of re-entry
Why some traditions require 40 days for integration—and what we’ve lost by rushing
How to reframe leadership in medicine work as relational stewardship, not performance
The cost of ignoring the feminine process of transformation in facilitation and service

This episode sets the tone for a season dedicated to re-orienting our collective compass—from seeking the peak, to honoring the slow, sacred spiral of return.
