Episode 587 (2025) Charles Redding On Advancing Disability Inclusion And Global Health Systems

Alexander Beiner is a writer and podcaster. He’s one of the executive directors of Breaking Convention, and the author of the book The Bigger Picture: How Psychedelics can help us make sense of the world. 

In 2018, he co-founded Rebel Wisdom, an alternative media and events platform that grew to a quarter of a million subscribers, and became an influential node in the systems change, personal growth and sense-making communities. His work explores how psychedelics can be used to elicit sustainable cultural change, the complexities of psychedelic capitalism and mainstreaming, and how differing beliefs and value systems affect psychedelic culture.

Ali Beiner discusses his book "The Bigger Picture," which explores the intersection of psychedelics and systems change. He emphasizes the transformative power of psychedelics, noting their role in enhancing complexity tolerance and fostering a deeper connection to the world. Beiner highlights the importance of an "ecology of practices," including meditation, therapy, and psychedelics, to address the meta crisis. He also discusses the need for collective integration of psychedelic insights into governance, economics, and education. Beiner advocates for a psychedelic way of thinking to drive systemic change, encouraging curiosity and experimentation.

Episode 592 (2025) A/Prof Rick Macourt On Advancing First Nations Prosperity

I recorded this set as a living, breathing journey—one for people who want to meet themselves on the dance floor. It starts in the quiet corners of your mind, grows into pulse and play, and invites you to move like water: free, grounded, alive. Layers of drums, voices, and textures carry you through jungle paths, cosmic swirls, and bursts of joy, then soften into stillness.

It’s not about being seen—it’s about feeling. About finding your rhythm, letting the bass remind you that you belong, and leaving with that subtle hum of interbeing. Best shared barefoot, hearts open, in a space where music is medicine and movement is the language.

Art of Collaborating is a podcast produced by Länka Consulting. Länka was established in 2015 by Anna Zingmark and Karoline Bottheim with the mission to explore and develop the tricky "art" of multi-stakeholder-collaboration. When we meet between organizations, sectors and knowledge areas in order to find solutions for handling complex societal challenges, we need support from practical methods and ways of understanding how to collaborate more efficiently. After years of discussing this topic with experts, researchers and practitioners all over the world, we are quite sure that multi-stakeholder collaboration can be called an advanced "art", a specific way of working, it may even be seen as a specific "community of practice". With our podcast, we want to make this - really necessary - specific way of working accessible to more people who find themselves in complex processes with many stakeholders involved.
