A Crazy Web of Interconnected Life with Daniel Zeller

In this episode with artist Daniel Zeller, we talked about the inherent unity between the macro and micro cosmic scales of reality. We talked about natural systems and how we can visualize the interdependent nature of life. We touched on psychedelics and the importance those compounds might hold in our evolution.  We also dove into Daniel’s creative process, meditation, and how visual art can function in ways that language seems to fall short. ----------------------
