Future Fossils

I'm Michael Garfield, an artist and scholar here to help you navigate and integrate the psychedelic experience of a future weirder than any of us imagined. With any luck, we will leave traces of wisdom for those who follow — and it's a transformative practice to even consider them as we live our lives. Future Fossils Podcast is the hub for this deep work: soulful, humorous, insightful conversations with philosophers and science fiction authors, visionary scientists and artists helping tell the stories and build the systems we'll need to thrive amidst our age of peril and promise, knitting continuity while weaving through transitions.

I'm immensely grateful that my work has nourished a dedicated community of people who like to help midwife new myths, braid disciplines, and juggle perspectives. Join us in the jazz of evolutionary transformation and let's improvise together, finding new collective ways to make sense of extraordinary change! Your support empowers and enables not just the podcast but art, music, writing, science communication, conversation, and whatever else pours out of my neon rainforest of an imagination. Thank you for your patronage and your participation!

I hope that I can help you find your way in the storm. Reach out and say hello.
