Participating study centers have been collecting saliva samples before and after the MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy intervention for PTSD. The initial set of samples are now being analyzed at TGEN in Phoenix, Arizona. These samples are being evaluated for epigenetics changes, looking for ways in which the therapeutic intervention, which has led to so many transformational experiences, may be influencing the way genes are expressed in study participants. PTSD has been associated with certain epigenetic modifications, lasting healing from PTSD may similarly involve change at the epigenetic level. Dr, Tafur will discuss this groundbreaking study (Modern Spirit Epigenetics Project), its formation and current progress, as we explore where the intersection between biology, emotion and spirituality.

Zoe Helene
Psychedelic Feminism—Ancestor Medicine
November 17th, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: Zoe Helene is an artist and cultural activist who founded the environmental feminism collective, Cosmic Sister, in 2007, to advocate for women, wildlife, wilderness and wildlife, and for our natural right to work with nature’s psychedelic medicines—our “co-evolutionary allies.” She believes that a true balance of power across the gender spectrum—globally—is the only way humans (and non-humans) will survive.
Zoe coined the term “Psychedelic Feminism” to describe a sub-genre of feminism that embraces intentional work with sacred psychedelic plants and fungi—such as ayahuasca, peyote, iboga, psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis—and encourages women to explore the wilderness within, where they can learn more deeply about themselves, in part to revisit core feminist issues in fresh and exciting ways.
In her TEMENO talking circles, Zoe welcomes all respectful, open-hearted truth-seekers who wish explore the damaging effects of late-stage patriarchy, including the wounds, harmful social conditioning and emotional burdens we each carry from surviving an abusive culture.
Her loving, hopeful methods for “evoking intentions” in preparation for medicine work follow a “character is action” approach to improving relationship dynamics—with ourselves, each other, and all living beings. Zoe is a spiritual agnostic with a passion for cultural and biological diversity and archetypal psychology as the “Language of Psyche.” Her ancestors were tribal people who developed sophisticated nature-based spiritualities that included psychedelic ceremonies. Her medicine work around ancestral trauma addresses loss of cultural diversity and identity through dominator religions, xenophobia-driven genocide, persecution, and oppression, and diaspora and assimilation.
Zoe travels the globe with her ethnobotanist husband, Chris Kilham, promoting plant medicine, indigenous rights, and environmental protection. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Professional Theatre from Brandeis University, where she was closely mentored by legendary costume designer Patricia Zipprodt. Her work has been featured in Forbes, BBC, Bust, Playboy, VICE, Broadly, Tonic, New York Magazine, Boston Magazine, Huffington Post, AlterNet, Sensi, Civilized, DoubleBlind, Psychedelics Today, Psychedelic Times, The Journal for the Study of Radicalism, ABC Australia, Radio New Zealand, and many other top-tier media venues
Webinar Topic: Exploring ancestry with the help of sacred plant allies can be empowering in surprising ways. Delving deeply into our individual and collective past can help inform choices we make in the present—for ourselves as individuals, for the people we love, and for the future of life on earth. All of our backstories brought us to where we are today, as a collective. This is classic psychedelic journeying work. It’s about truth-seeking and treasure hunting. Discovering, reconnecting, recreating for a better future. Who are you? Where do you come from? How did you get to where you are today? The paths of our ancestors all lead to the present. You. Me. Us. Where will we go together, tomorrow?

Webinar Topic: From stoned ape theory to 5g of dried psilocybin in silent darkness, and from clinical trial research all the way to transdimensional crystals, the call to push the envelope of consciousness exploration has reached the mycelium network of the urban underground. It is there in the belly of change, that the spirit of the psychedelic renaissance is compelling some brave psychonauts to push the edge of consciousness exploration a bit further than what has currently been made mainstream. What can we learn from doses beyond 10g? What can we learn from doses beyond 20g? What are safe ways to dive in and integrate these one of a kind experiences that twist our perception of reality into new forms? Lastly, how might this information be useful for the soul during these changing times?

Dr. Dennis McKenna
Ayahuasca-Assisted Psychotherapy in America? Why and How?
Pannel discussion with Dr. Leanna Standish and Dr. Victoria Hale
SEPTEMBER 29th, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: Dennis McKenna’s research has focused on the interdisciplinary study of Amazonian ethnopharmacology. He has conducted extensive ethnobotanical fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon. His doctoral research (University of British Columbia,1984) focused on the ethnopharmacology of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two tryptamine-based hallucinogens used by indigenous peoples in the Northwest Amazon. He is a founding board member of the Heffter Research Institute, and was a key organizer and participant in the Hoasca Project, the first biomedical investigation of ayahuasca. He is the younger brother of Terence McKenna.

He emigrated to Canada in the spring of 2019 together with his wife Sheila, and now resides in Abbotsford, B.C.
Webinar Topic: In this episode we will explore some of the following questions regarding Ayahuasca-assisted therapy to the U.S: Should western scientists and clinicians have access to the sacred medicine called Ayahuasca? Is this cultural misappropriation? Is it appropriate to seek FDA approval of Ayahuasca-assisted therapy? Is it possible to meet the FDA requirements for chemistry, safety and efficacy? What is the best method of Ayahuasca therapy? How might Ayahuasca therapy someday become approved by Medicare? How can the sacred and the scientific be entangled? Who is qualified to conduct an Ayahuasca circle? How can and should this work be funded? How can indigenous and western scientists understand each other’s ontology? How can authentic reciprocity be established between the drug companies that are making sacred medicines for secular use and the indigenous South American Amazonian tribes that have given the world Ayahuasca? Why not pharmahuasca?

In my devotion to the creative process, I strive to find ways of producing art that inspires harmony between the Earth and its shared inhabitants. I feel that our collective need and appreciation for nature unites us all. Each creation reflects an aspect of my life journey; thinning the veil between physical and metaphysical realities.

Ayahuasca-Assisted Psychotherapy in America? Why and How?
Pannel discussion with Dr. Dennis McKenna and Dr. Leanna Standish
SEPTEMBER 29th, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: Victoria G. Hale PhD is co-CEO of Sacred Medicines, PBC. Dr. Hale founded the nonprofit pharmaceutical company The Institute for OneWorld Health in San Francisco, California in 2000 and was its chairman and CEO.

She received the McArthur Genius Award in 2006. She is also a MAPS Board member.
Webinar Topic: In this episode we will explore some of the following questions regarding Ayahuasca-assisted therapy to the U.S: Should western scientists and clinicians have access to the sacred medicine called Ayahuasca? Is this cultural misappropriation? Is it appropriate to seek FDA approval of Ayahuasca-assisted therapy? Is it possible to meet the FDA requirements for chemistry, safety and efficacy? What is the best method of Ayahuasca therapy? How might Ayahuasca therapy someday become approved by Medicare? How can the sacred and the scientific be entangled? Who is qualified to conduct an Ayahuasca circle? How can and should this work be funded? How can indigenous and western scientists understand each other’s ontology? How can authentic reciprocity be established between the drug companies that are making sacred medicines for secular use and the indigenous South American Amazonian tribes that have given the world Ayahuasca? Why not pharmahuasca?

Jake Kobrin
The Role of Visionary Art in the Psychedelic Renaissance
Pannel discussion with Chris Dyer and Simon Haiduk
October 27th, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: The work of Jake Kobrin is psychedelic, unusual, dark, beautiful, and elegant. His work seeks to illuminate experiences which Jake has had that are outside of the realm of normal waking consciousness, moving into numinous and visionary realms with natural ease. His work explores the interplay of shadow and light, both in the delicate modelling of the forms of his pictures but also in the character of the subjects he portrays, his work showing a willingness to embrace all aspects of emotion from revelation and peace, to fear and disharmony. He considers himself an “interdimensional midwife and conduit” believing that the role of the artist is to be able to move outside of themselves and to act as a conduit for higher consciousness to move through them. In this way he says, “I do not claim authorship for any of the works of art I have painted. I am a channel for Great Spirit to create through me.” He currently lives in Ubud, Bali and he grew up in San Francisco. He is one of the few psychedelic artists with a formal classical art education, having studied classical realist drawing and painting in Florence, Italy at the Angel Academy of Art. He is also a tattoo artist, and is inspired by the traditional ceremonial contexts that ancient cultures held around tattooing. He is honoured to bring people through the ancient rite of passage of being tattooed in a way that is intentional and reverent. Besides painting and tattooing, Jake is also the founder and designer of a jewellery and fashion brand called Medicine Dragon Designs, and is a DJ and musician, as well as a tattoo artist, published writer, speaker, and podcaster.
Webinar Topic: Jake will be joining two other visionary artists (Chris Dyer and Simon Haiduk) for our Visionary Artist panel.

Dawn Davis
Peyote as an Ancestor and Living Relative - Not a Resource
December 22nd, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: Dawn D. Davis is a mother, a wife, a small-business owner, co-editor of the Journal of Native Sciences, a founding member of Source Research Foundation, a Newe and a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. She resides on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho with her family. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Arizona and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Natural Resources at the University of Idaho. Her past research has focused on the cultural, environmental, and anthropogenic issues that surround the revered Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) cacti which is integral to her spiritual practice. Current research includes the use of GIS to model changes in habitat due to anthropogenic impacts. Dawn has shared her research among Indigenous, academic, ethnobotanical, and psychedelic audiences nationally and internationally. Dawn was instrumental in bringing awareness to the potential environmental and cultural concerns associated with the inclusion of Peyote within decriminalization resolutions as well as the omitted consultation between Indigenous peoples and Peyote practitioners. This eventually led to collaboration with the Indigenous Peyote Conservation Initiative and the National Council of Native American Churches in an official statement regarding the inclusion of Peyote in decriminalization efforts.
Webinar Topic: As many psychedelic enthusiasts promote and support the idea of psychedelic decriminalization, it is important to recognize that this is being done without consultation with Indigenous peoples, which inadvertently facilitates extractive harvesting practices, biopiracy, and an involuntary forfeiture of medicinal access. As an Indigenous Peyote practitioner, researcher, and scientist, Dawn is aware of the potential impacts that decriminalization could likely have towards further depletion of wild Peyote populations within the United States and Mexico and has been advocating for cultural, historic, and legal responsiveness to Peyote’s past as it relates to the Indigenous peoples of North America. Through her spiritual practices she recognizes Peyote as a sentient being, an ancestor, a relative, not a resource for commercialization, commodification, or at the expense of living Indigenous cultures. This session will delve deeper into these concerns and further question the perception of medicine v. resource from an Indigenous perspective.

Cannabis Awakening - Cannabis as a Master Plant and Her Significant Leadership Role in This Time of Great Transition
Pannel discussion with Josh Sarvis and Delphina Dorrance
December 1st, 5:00-6:30pm PST
Bio: Josh Sarvis and Kelly Dunn are humus beings dedicated to the regeneration of the earth and her inhabitants. Vitality of water, soil, plants, humans, mycology and cellular renewal has been their focus for over 30 years.They have always cultivated pure, closed loop cannabis and other medicinal plants for a better understanding of the healthy mind, body, soil connection. Soil in it’s most basic form holds nutrients and microbiology for the creation of all life. Each region has its own soil which contains a microbial community that supports indigenous bacteria, fungi, microbes and ultimately plant life that is particular to that region. It is their soul agreement/ or dharma to help people ally with nature and to understand how to Utilize natural systems created by nature. They are dedicated to intentionally and actively educating cannabis gardeners on purity in cultivation. They are passionate about being a clear, conscious voice for the cannabis plant, whom has given so many benefits to all of humanity. They created Dragonfly Earth Medicine which is not only a nutrient company but also a educational platform for regenerative outdoor and indoor cannabis cultivation. The Pure Certification was also started by DEM and has become a community driven, beyond organic certification for cannabis cultivation and extraction. They have consulted many large cannabis facilities and farms to grow the highest quality cannabis using biodiversity, polyculture, soil building, nutrient intelligence, seed breeding and regenerative farming practices
Webinar Topic: Josh Sarvis and Kelly Dunn from Dragonfly Earth Medicine and Delphina Dorrance from 1Heart HUB and Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary will talk about the important role cannabis has had in health and wellness of body, mind and spirit in this time of great transition. This transformative master plant is coming out of oppression and stigma and making her grand entrance into worldwide popular culture. How can we learn from her karmic path and follow her lead of resilience and weaving collective consciousness at a time of uncertainty for humanity? Josh, Kelly and Delphina will dive deeply into the critical role this plant has taken to bring awakening and clear recognition of our own evolutionary roles on the planet; how she has emerged and given the spotlight to other master plants, and how they each learn an adaptive language required to speak to humans. This guidance from Cannabis is a gift, creating and offering a delicate healing and balance for the rapid changes humanity faces to move forward into our ultimate potential.
