#41 Dean Jefferys: Triggering the System - Psychedelics, Activism & Radical Expression
<p>Today I welcome a groundbreaking filmmaker, conservation activist, and lifelong edge-pusher into the studio: Dean Jefferys. </p><p><br></p><p>He joins me for a wide-ranging conversation on activism and radical self-expression. Dean discusses his involvement in the peace camp during the Iraq War and power dynamics in the current genocide and war in the Middle East.</p><p><br></p><p>We dive into psychedelics, particularly the Sonoran Desert toad, exploring intention, letting go, and the importance of integration and shadow work — something Dean believes is often missing in the space.</p><p><br></p><p>We also cover his non-violent approach to environmental activism, including direct action in old-growth forests and the strategy behind getting arrested to drive real change. He shares some wild stories, from flying over warships in protest to spending time in jail for it.</p><p><br></p><p>At its core, this episode is about pushing boundaries politically, spiritually, and creatively, and seeing it all as a form of art.Tune in now! </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://isaiacoaching.com/home" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Work with Pete</a> </p><p>Connect with Pete on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/isaiacoaching/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Instagram</a> </p><p>Connect with Pete on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/isaiacoaching/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Facebook</a></p><p><br></p><p>Watch Dean’s documentaries <a href="https://toadwhalesun.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnUsERjPZIOM52LQ02aPQch40VPgAftLRGKFlU2c0Ce7icXxbLFtiWlFWL7fI_aem_8IopuRUEStmLE6bvaKgbPA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">here</a> </p><p>Connect with Dean on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/migaloo_2/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> </p>
