Moving Between Worlds: Creativity, Consciousness & Psychedelics

What worlds do you have the power to move between?Vex has painted murals around the world. She's been a full-time artist for most of her adult life. And she'll tell you that her career was guided into existence by early experiences with psilocybin and LSD, taken after losing her father and asking the questions most of us eventually ask: what is the point of life? How do I make mine count?This conversation lives at the intersection of creativity, coaching, and psychedelics. We talk about whether consciousness or creativity comes first, how Vex uses metaphor to paint pictures with words instead of paint, what the flying girl she kept returning to as a motif actually represents, and why those who can move between worlds wield the most power. Not as dominance, but as empowerment.In this episode:- How early experiences with LSD and psilocybin after losing her father guided Vex toward becoming a full-time artist- Whether consciousness or creativity comes first and how they interconnect- Integration: what actually has to happen after a psychedelic experience for creativity to open- The left-hand drawing exercise: what the subconscious produces when you stop managing it- How Vex paints pictures with words in her coaching practice using image and metaphor as entry points into emotional blocks- The flying girl: metamorphosis, falling vs. flying, and why she's thinking about bringing her back-Carl Rogers on the personal and the universal and what it means to share the thing that feels most uniquely yours- Moving between worlds: what it means to be the 'weirdo artist' in a business meeting and the business person in an art space- Why the intersection of disciplines is where the juice isConnect with Vex:Instagram: @vextaWebsite: vexta.com.auCoaching and psychedelic integration: cosmic-vision.comConnect with ESP:Enhanced Senses Podcast explores what it feels like to be you through portals like extreme sports, psychedelics, creativity, and intimacy.Follow on Instagram: @enhanced_senses_podcastSubstack: Enhanced Senses SubstackPatreon: Enhanced Senses Patreon
