In April, we’ll be joined by a guest speaker connected to Synthesis Institute for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and the emerging landscape of training, ethics, and clinical application. Synthesis describes its training as interdisciplinary and trauma-informed, with emphasis on preparation, support/facilitation, and integration, and it offers a Colorado-specific licensure pathway that includes didactic education plus supervised components.

This is a topic that tends to bring up both hope and caution—and both belong here. Our goal is not hype. It’s discernment: clinical responsibility, cultural humility, and thoughtful engagement with what’s changing in the field.

Optional “come curious about” questions:

• What do I feel drawn toward (or wary of) when it comes to psychedelic-assisted work—and why?

• What does “ethical” mean here, beyond legality?

• How do power, privilege, and cultural context show up in psychedelic conversations and care?
