Philosopher and LSD explorer Christopher Bache, PhD shares insights from his 20-year journey with high-dose psychedelic practice — a protocol inspired by Stan Grof — to map the architecture of consciousness and explore the evolutionary destiny of humanity.
Bache describes a multi-decade odyssey through ego death, the “ocean of collective suffering,” and luminous encounters with what he calls the Future Human — a post-collapse archetype of expanded empathy, deep time awareness, and planetary unity.
Joining the dialogue are:
✨ Dr. David Luke — parapsychologist, author, and consciousness researcher at the University of Exeter, who brings cutting-edge research on how psychedelics catalyze ecological awareness, transpersonal experiences, and psychic phenomena.

✨ Jeremy Johnson — integral philosopher and Jean Gebser scholar, who unpacks the current shift from the mental-rational worldview to the integral structure of consciousness.

This wide-ranging discussion weaves together mysticism, psychedelic science, ecological awakening, reincarnation, quantum consciousness, and the psycho-spiritual preparation for civilizational crisis and rebirth.
🌀 This presentation is part of “Building Our Regenerative Future: Volume 1”, a Liminal Institute online course exploring systems transformation through ecology, consciousness, philosophy, and technology.
