Understanding Psilocybin

Join us for the next installment of Sanctuary Sessions as we explore the history, science, and therapeutic applications of psilocybin with Eriach Fox. Together, we'll trace psilocybin's journey from its Indigenous and cross-cultural roots through today's resurgence in clinical research and mental healthcare. We'll examine what current research tells us, who may benefit from psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy, and how these experiences are thoughtfully prepared for, facilitated, and integrated. Throughout the evening, we'll discuss how psychedelic experiences engage not only the mind, but also emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of healing. Topics include: The fascinating history of psilocybin - from Indigenous traditions to today's research What scientists are discovering about its therapeutic potential What individual and group psilocybin sessions typically involve, including preparation and integration Why preparation and integration are essential How these experiences can impact the mind, emotions, and sense of self Safety, risks, and common misconceptions about psilocybin Your questions Whether you're simply curious, considering psychedelic therapy, or are a clinician interested in this evolving field, this conversation offers an accessible introduction grounded in both research and clinical experience.
