Dear friends and colleagues,
Two of the initiatives I’ve dedicated myself to in recent years are having exciting events to which I am proud to invite you. As a reminder, “Ketamine Today, MDMA Tomorrow - PTSD Comparisons” will be offered virtually this Thursday, 4-5 ET (RSVP here), sharing new, promising data you will learn about first! In today’s mental health crisis, nearly 1 in 10 Americans will suffer from PTSD, so this is big.
Over the past year, we have hosted 6 events for Psychedelics for Climate Action (PSYCA) - join our official launch on Tuesday, May 28!
How does this work come together? The PSYCA community is doing groundbreaking work at this intersection for personal healing and planetary change. Hear from NYT-featured meditation experts, an author who blends environmental art with music, and a regenerative economist taking the C-suite on mushroom trips…
Psychedelics for Climate Action (PSYCA) Launch in Partnership with Nocturnal Medicine, DJ Spooky & Bennet Zelner
Infinite Climate Solutions are Available, so Why are We in a Climate Crisis?
Join a Consciousness-Expanding Experience for Climate Action
Psychedelics for Climate Action (PSYCA) is a community of people who believe raising and expanding consciousness is key to unlocking the collective climate action and behavior change we need.
Nocturnal Medicine is a nonprofit studio for climate consciousness & cultural transformation, which The New York Times says, “borrows principles from rave culture such as the power of crowds and the sense of release that parties can provide.”
Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, is a composer, multimedia artist, and author whose work engages audiences in a blend of genres, global culture, and environmental and social issues. Miller has collaborated with an array of recording artists, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Metallica, Chuck D from Public Enemy, Steve Reich, and Yoko Ono amongst many others.
Bennet Zelner is a regenerative economist and business school professor who is co-leading the Connected Leadership Study, which examines the effects of psychedelic experiences on decision-making by organizational leaders.
