Webinar Topic: In this episode we will explore the sacred intent of all living things and review the profound meaning that underlines the spiritual language of the psychedelic plants. What is the message that they want to communicate to us human beings? What behaviors and tendencies do plants have to create for their own preservation and how they affect humans? What is the unity within the plural that we need integrate with nature in order to penetrate and tap into the core language of planet earth? And how is earth speaking to us through sacred plants? Join us as we review these ideas together and try to decipher deeper the hidden language of the sacred plants.

Webinar Topic: Psychedelics allow us to explore the landscape of mind and spirit, enjoying visions, insights and revelations otherwise obscured to us. Especially potent experiences lead to the classic mystical experience, in which time, self-identity and all sense of separateness cease. This breakthrough consciousness is bold, transformative and enlightening.

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. From 2000 to 2017, he taught courses on Ethnopharmacology and Plants in Human affairs in the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. In 2019, in collaboration with colleagues, he incorporated a new non-profit, the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy. He emigrated to Canada in the spring of 2019 together with his wife Sheila, and now resides in Abbotsford, B.C.

Webinar Topic: Most people are familiar with the major natural psychedelics, such as psilocybin mushrooms, Ayahuasca, San Pedro cactus, Peyote, etc. All of these have a rich cultural and historical background, and the pharmacology and chemistry of the active constituents is well understood. Yet hidden within the vast biodiversity of the planet, undiscovered psychedelics remain poorly investigated, if they are known to science at all. This talk will delve into the obscure byways of ethnopsychopharmacognosy to discuss a few of the more interesting examples that beckon to a new generation of ethnopharmacologists. It will also discuss the rationale for pursuing ongoing investigations into novel natural psychedelics.

Bio: Paul Stamets, speaker, author, mycologist, medical researcher and entrepreneur, is considered an intellectual and industry leader in fungi: habitat, medicinal use, and production. He lectures extensively to deepen the understanding and respect for the organisms that literally exist under every footstep taken on this path of life. Paul is the author of six books (including Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, Growing Gourmet & Medicinal Mushrooms, and Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World), he has discovered and named numerous new species of psilocybin mushrooms. Paul has been awarded more than 40 patents with several patent applications in queue for unexpected activity of psilocybin analogues stacked with other substances. He has received numerous awards, including: Invention Ambassador (2014-2015) for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Mycologist Award (2014) from the North American Mycological Association (NAMA), and the Gordon & Tina Wasson Award (2015) from the Mycological Society of America (MSA). His work has entered into the mainstream of popular culture. In the new Star Trek: Discovery series on CBS, the Science Officer is portrayed by an Astromycologist…. a Lt. Paul Stamets. Paul’s work with mycelium is a central theme of this series.

Webinar Topic: Psilocybin is one molecule of several that can cause altered states of consciousness. The focus has been on these ‘active’ molecules. Is there activity of other molecules that co-occur and are related to psilocybin that do not alter consciousness but have a demonstrateable positive effect on brain health? I think so and will discuss our research that contributes to the science of consciousness. Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for thousands of years. Psilocybin as a molecule has been used for a few dozen. The reductionist view of medicine has been effective in discovering a molecular structure for treating bacterial infections, for instance. But the single-molecule medicines available for psychotherapists have failed to show the same level of positive outcome. Where and when can the use of the natural form of psilocybin mushrooms be appropriate for psychotherapy and cognitive health? How do you standardize a natural product? Could it be approved by federal health agencies? Does a patent like the one Compass has cross over to interfere with the use of natural products for therapeutic use?

Bio: Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master’s thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients. His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary’s Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986, and currently resides in Boston with his wife, dog, and empty rooms from three children, one of whom is in college and two have graduated.

Webinar Topic: The intersections of the psychedelic renaissance and the “metoo” movement, has reinforced a need to consider how women have fit into a history of psychedelic discovery, caretaking, and even abuse. This idea of psychedelic privilege and the gendered nature of caretaking has affected our historical understandings of psychedelics, and the role of women in that history. This chapter looks at the historical participation of women as wives to psychedelic practitioners, as caretakers in the therapeutic setting, and as patients or subjects, to consider how gender has affected our understanding of discovery as well as trauma and healing.

Bio: Zoe Helene, MFA, is a cultural activist best known for women’s empowerment through sacred plants such as cannabis, ayahuasca, peyote, and psilocybin mushrooms—our co-evolutionary allies—through Psychedelic Feminism, a term she coined and popularized. Zoe founded Cosmic Sister, an environmental feminist collective for progressives who understand that the grossly imbalanced “power-over” patriarchal model will continue to lead humans down a devolutionary path ending in the destruction of life on Earth as we know it. Cosmic Sister’s Psychedelic Feminism educational advocacy projects promote sacred plant spirit medicines as a way to jump-start rapid cultural evolution, starting with women. Zoe is a spiritual agnostic with a passion for cultural and biological diversity, global consciousness, and archetypal psychology, as the “Language of Psyche.” Her ancestors were proud tribal people who developed deep, sophisticated pre-Christian nature-based spiritual traditions, including sacred psychedelic plant medicine traditions, and survived genocide, persecution, oppression, and diaspora. Zoe has been featured in Forbes, Bust Magazine, Sensi Magazine (cover story), BBC, VICE, Vice | Broadly, Vice | Tonic, LA Yoga, Playboy, Outside Magazine, New York Magazine, Boston Magazine, Psymposia, PRØHBTD, Psychedelic Times, Psychedelics Today, Organic Authority, The Journal for the Study of Radicalism a peer-reviewed academic journal, and many more.

Webinar Topic: Psychedelics have the power to help us rapidly evolve from a cultural or behavioral perspective so we can be better citizens of Gaia as a species, which starts with hundreds, then thousands, then millions, then billions of individual revolutions within. Creating a true balance of power across the gender spectrum—globally—is the only way humans (and non-humans) will survive, and that it is our moral responsibility, as Earth’s apex predators, to protect and defend the rights of non-humans to live freely in thriving, uncompromised wilderness sanctuaries. Psychedelics can help women access the wilderness of our psyches, in part to identify, explore, and hopefully heal unhealthy roots of human suffering, such as wounds and disempowering social programming related to surviving and thriving within—and rising in resistance of—global male-dominance. Females carry trauma from violent misogynist actions such as rape as well as a multitude of compounded wounds from a steady bombardment of systemic sexist messaging. Everyone is harmed by the patriarchal, power-over model—everyone across the gender spectrum. “The more I do this work,” she says, “The more compassion I feel for males (and individuals who identify as anywhere on the gender spectrum), who bear scars from their own screwed-up gender socialization just like women do.”

Bio: Monnica Williams, Ph.D. is a board-certified, licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapies. She is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, Canada Research Chair in Mental Health Disparities, and Clinical Director of the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, LLC in Tolland, Connecticut, where she offers psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies. Her research interests include the role of culture and race on mental illness, and she has over 100 academic publications. She is an authority on obsessive-compulsive disorder, including sexual orientation-themed OCD, racial trauma, and one of very few researchers focused on the inclusion of people of color in psychedelic medicine. Her work has been funded by local and federal competitive grants, including the National Institutes of Health and the American Psychological Foundation. Her work with MAPS has sparked an international conversation on inclusion, access, and equity, as psychedelics move into mainstream mental health care. She has named one of the top 25 thought leaders in PTSD. She has been featured in several media outlets, including NPR, PBS, CTV, Vice, The Washington Post, USA Today, CNN, and Huffington Post. She has written for the New York Times and Slate, and maintains a blog on Psychology Today called Culturally Speaking.

Webinar Topic: Psychedelics have been studied for the treatment of numerous mental health conditions, as an avenue for personal growth, and for enhancing well-being. However, psychedelic research studies have largely excluded people of color, leaving important questions unaddressed for these populations. Additionally, the War on Drugs has created racial barriers to access and estrangement from many psychedelic communities, even as decriminalization is expanding. Dr. Williams will discuss the impact of first-wave drug research abuses, social policies, and stereotypes on communities of color. She will discuss ethnic minority mental health and how psychedelic therapies may help or hinder healing for racialized individuals. Also discussed are next steps in ensuring that access to culturally-informed care is prioritized as several psychedelics move into late phase trials and expanded access, including the importance of culturally-informed approaches and training experiences of psychedelic therapists of color.

Bio: Dr. Beatriz Caiuby Labate (Bia Labate) is a queer Brazilian anthropologist. She has a Ph.D. in social anthropology from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. Her main areas of interest are the study of plant medicines, drug policy, shamanism, ritual, and religion.

She is author, co-author, and co-editor of twenty-one books, two special-edition journals, and several peer-reviewed articles.

Webinar Topic: The use of the psychedelic plant brew ayahuasca has expanded significantly during the last 50 years. Once only known to Amazonian communities, ayahuasca is now used in diverse social and cultural contexts across the world. The Brazilian ayahuasca religions, originating with the Santo Daime in Brazil founded in the 1930s, are now internationally recognised and established. An ayahuasca industry servicing Western clientele in search of shamanic healing is booming in the Amazon. A plethora of informal ayahuasca circles, ceremonies and communities have also arisen catering to a huge variety of social groups and needs. Indeed, ayahuasca has apparently become the glorified medicina of spiritual seekers, religious followers, and business entrepreneurs alike. We will estimate the population of the global ayahuasca community, including indigenous, mestizo, religious, therapeutic, and neo-shamanic circles, based on our on-going research. Drawing on long-term fieldwork and first-hand experience participating in ayahuasca communities both in the Global South and the Global North, we ask: what challenges does the globalisation of ayahuasca present? We explore key issues such as: economic implications; legal dilemmas; sustainability problems; safety issues including sexual abuse and fatalities; authenticity and cultural appropriation. We argue that the development of ayahuasca shamanism through cross-cultural relations, involving cultural hybridisation and transculturation is not a perversion of “tradition” but represents continuity with its historical process of formation and original synthesis between different indigenous ethnic traditions and Christian elements. It is no longer possible to consider the local formation of the curanderos apart from their interactions with foreigners, or these articulations between the local and the global.
