Podcasts about aveda corporation

Sponsored by OLAPLEX®https://pro.olaplex.com/ Interview with John MoroneyWith over 35 years in hairdressing, John Moroney has had the unique opportunity to work at virtually every level of the industry. On a break from university studies, he enrolled in beauty school at the suggestion of a friend, not realizing at the time that he would spend his entire adult life in this exciting and creative field. Working behind the chair for many years, John fell in love with helping other stylists through education. As a part-time educator for brands such as Sebastian and Aveda, he began to look for an opportunity to work full-time in brand education. Starting with Aveda Corporation in the early days of the brand, he eventually became Global Director of Education, reporting to founder Horst Rechelbacher. The next phase of his career led him to Los Angeles where he spent the next fourteen years leading Global Education for Sebastian and then with Wella / P&G Salon Professional. Joining Kao Salon Division in 2011, John headed the company's global education & communication efforts, as well as serving as Global Creative Director for Goldwell, KMS, Varis and Kerasilk. He now is the VP of Global Education & Customer Experience for OLAPLEX.Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtmoroney https://www.instagram.com/jtmoroney/https://www.instagram.com/olaplex/?hl=en https://pro.olaplex.com/News from TheTease.comhttps://www.thetease.com/strands-for-trans-co-founders-xavier-cruz-and-jp-gomez-on-the-importance-of-creating-salon-spaces-where-everyone-feels-safe-and-welcome/ https://www.thetease.com/gentle-styling-a-new-way-to-love-your-natural-hair/ https://www.thetease.com/how-to-recreate-one-of-dulce-marias-most-iconic-roberta-pardo-hairstyles/ More from TheTease:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ / (KellyEhlers)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig)Web: https://www.thetease.com (TheTease.com)Email: VolumeUp@TheTease.comCredits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.

This is the Launch of Marlo's Conversations with Friends: Topics Around WELL-Being and Mariam Hannon was the first person on my list of friends to talk to. I am thrilled that you will get to meet her. She and I worked together for many years during my time at Aveda Corporation and we hit it off immediately. Mariam is a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician, certified motivational coach and an avid vegetable and herb gardener. Her heart is the purest gold and her compassion for others and all living things has no limits. Mariam shares the same love of food as I do and so I decided that I wanted her talk about her garden, the fruits of her labor and love and the transformative healing powers and benefits that food brings. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Be Well, Marlo

“Psychedelics are not suppressed because they are dangerous to users; they're suppressed because they provoke unconventional thought, which threatens any number of elites and institutions that would rather do our thinking for us.” ~ Dennis McKenna, The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss.Dennis McKenna, 67, is a noted ethnopharmacologist, focusing on pharmacognosy, especially with psilocybin and ayahuasca. After travels to the Amazon, in search of the Sixties experience with his older brother, Terence, Dennis' curiosity was piqued in a scientific way. He wanted to know how these plants worked.In 1979, McKenna earned his Masters in Botanical Sciences at the University of Hawaii. With his continued studies in the Botanical Sciences, he earned his Ph.D. in 1984 at the University of British Columbia. He studied the botany, chemistry, and pharmacology of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two orally-active tryptamine-based hallucinogens used by the indigenous peoples in Northwest Amazon.McKenna received post-doctorate fellowships in the Lab of Clinical Pharmacology at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and in the Department of Neurology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He recently completed a project, funded by the Stanley Medical Research Institute, to study the Amazonian ethnomedicine for the treatment of schizophrenia and cognitive deficits.In 1990, McKenna became director of ethnopharmacology at Shaman Pharmaceuticals. In 1993, he became senior research pharmacognisist for the Aveda Corporation. In 1993, he also founded and continues to serve as VP and board member of Heffter Research Institute, where they are researching use of psilocybin with cancer patients.In 2001, he joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota's Center for Spirituality and Healing and has since become a popular professor. He serves on the advisory board of The American Botanical Council and on the editorial board of Phytopharmacology.McKenna's authored four books and countless research papers. In 1976, he wrote the still popular, cult classic Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide.He can be seen in documentaries on the esoteric. He continues to lead expeditions to the Amazon to study the culture, shamanism and ayahuasca.Far Out, ManFor anyone who's been to Paonia, CO, it's no surprise that the small mountain hippie town produced two of the most learned ethnopharmacology luminaries — the dynamic duo, brothers Dennis and his senior, Terence, now deceased. What began as a popular recreational experimentation in the Sixties counterculture opened the door to new realms of legitimate soul-searching, growth and healing. Dennis wrote about his accounts with his brother in his 2012 book, The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss. They discovered there was some power in the medicine! Thus began the McKenna's pursuit in the mysteries of ethnopharmacology — Terence,

The McKenna brothers — Terence and Dennis — are widely regarded as having paved the gringo road to the Amazonian plant medicine experience. Dennis' exploration of this territory dates back a half century, and he is among its most knowledgeable cartographers. In this episode, he and Ken discuss questions that arise when entheogens are an important part of your life: What's the difference between a plant psychedelic and a chemical? How should you choose a shaman? What role does integration play following a plant medicine journey? Are the entities you encounter under the influence of DMT real? What is actually going on when you trip? Dennis McKenna is an American ethnopharmacologist, lecturer and author. He is a founding board member and the director of ethnopharmacology at the Heffter Research Institute, a non-profit organization concerned with the investigation of the potential therapeutic uses of psychedelic medicines. He is an adjunct professor in the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. McKenna's research led to the development of natural products for the Aveda Corporation, as well as greater awareness of natural products and medicines more broadly. He has authored or co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers and written books, including “The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss: My Life with Terence McKenna”, and co-author of “The Invisible Landscape” with his brother Terence.
