Attention all podcast lovers and science enthusiasts!????? Elizabeth R. Koch (Unlikely Collaborators' Founder) was recently interviewed by PsyPost about our podcast, The Science of Perception Box. The podcast, hosted by Dr. Christof Koch and Dr. Heather Berlin, PhD, MPH, explores the limits of our awareness and how our Perception Box – that invisible mental framework influenced by our beliefs and biases – impacts how we interpret the world. It encourages us to question our assumptions and engage with life more openly. All 9 episodes are available NOW wherever you get your podcasts! ???Read the article:?https://lnkd.in/gawAJxfj ???Listen to the podcast:?https://lnkd.in/eaYDqfTu ???Watch the podcast:?https://lnkd.in/gva8kxiT Pod People #neuroscience #psychology #PerceptionBox #mindfulness

Unique company devoted to creating awareness of an individual's Perception Box to provoke acceptance of self and others.
关于我们
Founded by creator, writer, philanthropist and entrepreneur Elizabeth Koch, Unlikely Collaborators is devoted to self-investigation through awareness of an individual’s Perception Box which is built from the material of your beliefs, and has the power to distort your reality and leave you feeling isolated, disconnected, and fearful. We’ll show you how to understand and work with your Perception Box—how to overcome the limiting beliefs that hold you back, expand the possibilities of perception, and invite in new ways of seeing and being seen. We create Unlikely Collaborations through: UNLIKELY IMPACT We support leaders and learners, communities and cohorts, committed to disarming societal and institutional Perception Box issues to collaborate in unlikely ways that further untangle Perception Box stories from within. UNLIKELY INVESTMENTS We invest in leaders who not only expand Perception Boxes but who unceasingly, unpretentiously seek to expand their own. While most of our investments have been at the early stages across areas like mental health and wellness, neurotechnology and psychedelic medicine, we’re open to all manner of unpredictable collaborations. UNLIKELY STORYTELLERS Our books, programs, and media embrace writers, creators, and audiences who push beyond stereotypes; celebrate stories that explore the white space between the lines of our lives, that ask more questions than give answers, and that rattle the walls of our Perception Boxes—expanding the boundaries of who we think we are, and what we think we know. UNLIKELY EXPERIENCES Our experiences use a process of self-investigation that encompasses principles and practices from eastern and western thought, meditation, psychology, and neuroscience—designed to expand your understanding of self, others, and the whole damned world. This process can be fun, torturous, hilarious, berserk—but never boring. When you take the time to truly investigate your Perception Box, you discover something shocking.

At Unlikely Collaborators, we believe that the stories we tell—especially the ones we tell ourselves—shape our realities. That’s why we’re thrilled to support The Michael’s Daughter Foundation through a grant for their transformative program,?Our Stories: Break the Cycle. This initiative provides a powerful platform for youth impacted by parental incarceration and the justice system, helping them reclaim their narratives through filmmaking. By guiding participants in crafting live-action and animated films, the program gives them full creative control—empowering them to reflect, challenge limiting beliefs, and imagine new possibilities for their futures. As Ciera Payton, Founder and Executive Director of The Michael’s Daughter Foundation, so beautifully put it: "For youth affected by the justice system, storytelling becomes a lifeline, offering validation, self-expression, and hope. This grant from Unlikely Collaborators allows us to expand this vital work, helping participants break harmful generational cycles and envision all that they can be." At Unlikely Collaborators, we know that external conflict stems from internal conflict—unconscious biases, beliefs, and narratives that shape our perception of the world. Programs like?Our Stories: Break the Cycle?offer young people the chance to investigate and expand their own?Perception Box, unlocking new perspectives, compassion, and resilience. We are honored to support this work and can’t wait to see the stories these young filmmakers bring to life. #Storytelling #BreakingTheCycle #UnlikelyCollaborators #PerceptionBox

We are thrilled to announce our $1.5M grant to?Naropa University?to support the launch of their?Psychedelic Studies undergraduate minor!???? At?Unlikely Collaborators, we believe that external conflicts—whether global or personal—stem from the unconscious, unresolved struggles within us. Psychedelics have the potential to illuminate these internal barriers, challenging deeply held beliefs and unlocking new pathways for self-awareness and transformation. By funding scholarships for students pursuing?psychedelic studies at Naropa, we’re investing in the next generation of thinkers, healers, and changemakers who will explore the ecological, cultural, and therapeutic impact of these powerful medicines. We can’t wait to see how these students apply their learning to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.????? https://lnkd.in/g7wWBicG #UnlikelyCollaborators #NaropaUniversity #PsychedelicStudies #TransformativeEducation #PerceptionBox

??Watch the latest episode of the Science of Perception Box podcast, with guest Dr. Alison Gopnik: https://lnkd.in/gm-yfhET How can parents embrace science in order to give their children the best possible environment to thrive in? Cognitive development expert Dr. Alison Gopnik joins us to discuss how navigating challenges fosters healthier adults, likening caregiving to being a gardener creating an environment where various ”plants” can thrive in different conditions. Exposing children to diverse environments helps them develop better coping mechanisms, akin to how the immune system strengthens against viruses. Dr. Gopnik is a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, where she has taught since 1988. She is a world leader in cognitive science, particularly the study of children’s learning and development. She is the author of over 100 journal articles and several books including the best-selling and critically acclaimed popular books The Scientist in the Crib, The Philosophical Baby, and The Gardener and the Carpenter.

At Unlikely Collaborators, we believe in the transformative power of shifting perspectives—and few things change the way we see the world like the ocean. That’s why we’re thrilled to support the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation (JMMF)?through a new grant that fuels its pioneering work in surf therapy. JMMF provides ocean-based therapy for those navigating mental health challenges, including veterans, active military, healthcare workers, first responders, and at-risk youth. Through the rhythm of the waves and the strength of community, participants are guided to untangle and reframe their inner narratives, and, in turn, expand the walls of the Perception Box?. This partnership reflects our mission to challenge the stories that hold us back—because healing, like surfing, often begins with finding balance in uncertainty.?? We’re proud to stand with JMMF in this powerful work. #UnlikelyCollaborators #MentalHealth #SurfTherapy #ReframingNarratives #JimmyMillerMemorialFoundation
