Willy Christie – Psychedelic Creativity Without the Substance
Season 2 | Episode 7 | 20 Jul 2025 | 45 min 9 sec
What happens when the psychedelic experience isn’t something you ingest—but something you become?
In this episode of the Psychedelics Design Podcast, host Alexandra Plesner—founder of Psychedelics Design—sits down with Willy Christie, the Kansas-born, LA-based artist behind the music project Kukuni!
His life is a gentle rebellion—against the myth that mind expansion must be chemically induced, and against the idea that creativity is only accessible through chaos or crisis. Instead, Willy treats creativity like a sacred ritual. No shortcuts, no substances—just presence, patience, and play.
