S2 E22: Lakshmi Narayan, Founder at Awake Media, co-Founder at Awake.Net, Rediscovering who we are, Climbing the ladder of consciousness
This week, meet Lakshmi Narayan.
Lakshmi Narayan is the co-founder and editor of awake.net, a non-profit collective wisdom blog about the inner journey with entheogens, and founder and creative director of Awake Media a digital media coalition offering media products and services to clients in the transformational wellness community, particularly entheogenic medicine. She has a decades long interest in the cause of repositioning psychedelics in the public mind, and educating people about the benefits, cautions, best practices, and timeless wisdom that can be had from these experiences.
We talk about Lakshmi’s spiritual journey from childhood to crossing path with Ayahuasca in the 90’s, well before it became as popular as it is today. We cover a lot of ground from ibogaine, to integrating 2 years of journeying over 20 years, from climbing the ladder of consciousness to remembering who we are and finally we talk about what led Lakshmi to start Awake Media and Awake.Net.
This is a beautiful journey of awakening and following your path to help others 🙏

🧠 Memorable Quotes 🧠
“The journey of life is to remember.” ❤️ Seb's favorite ❤️
About 2 years of intense journeying with psychedelics - “It took us 20 years to actually integrate” 😮
”I just want to tell people who’re getting into it, don’t be in a rush to crystalize it into something you can sell or could teach.”
“You have this body of knowledge that wakes up in you and it’s available to everybody because we’re very very old as a species.”
