Some new research was just published indicating that psilocybin is no more effective than SSRI’s.
Which could also could have been written at Psilocybin just as effective as SSRI’s!

But even still, trying to frame that as the standard by which to assess something like psilocybin and psychedelic therapy is just profoundly limited.

Check out my new piece on substack where I go into this.

You can get high on your own reaction to your experience.
I see it in group journeys. Someone touches something enormous and the first impulse is to share it, announce it, love on everyone in the room. Something genuinely beautiful is moving through them.
But the experience is pouring out before it’s been taken in.
A teacher of mine distinguishes between amazement and awe. Amazement is being strapped to the nose of a rocket. Awe is being inside the shuttle. Same vast territory. Different capacity to receive it.

Hi lovelies,
Three colleagues and I are offering an advanced training on holding and physical touch in psychedelic spaces. Dylan Rivard, Fortunato Perkins, Love Mercury, and I have all taught together before, and we’ve wanted to create something like this for a while.
Touch is one of the most powerful tools we have in this work. It’s also one of the trickiest to learn, because it can’t really be taught through lecture. It has to be practiced, felt, and refined through feedback.
This training is for practitioners who’ve completed foundational training and want to go deeper into the embodied, relational dimensions of the work.
