• Intriguing research on MDMA’s effects on social behavior and the critical period’, particularly through the lens of Gul Dolen’s octopus studies
• How conversations around non-duality in psychedelic experiences can reshape our perception of reality
• The historical significance of psychedelics in ancient traditions and their role in rites of passage
• The cultural implications of using psychedelics as tools for both personal and societal healing
• The darker aspects of psychedelic work as we seek to understand deep healing
