The U.S. military launched fresh strikes against Iran on Sunday evening, after announcing the death of one American service member and the recovery of another's remains following an Iranian missile strike in Jordan.The big picture: The deaths underscore the growing toll of the U.S.-Iran conflict as both countries continue military attacks and the risk of further escalation rises. Screenshot: CENTCOM/XDriving the news: The U.S. military said Sunday it found the remains of a service member who went missing after an Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan that killed two American troops.U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) also revealed an American [...]
Data: Financial Modeling Prep; Chart: Ben Geman/AxiosOil prices jumped above $90 per barrel Sunday in the first major trading since the deaths of three U.S. service members and escalating Middle East hostilities.Why it matters: Higher oil prices could quickly translate into more expensive gasoline for consumers and diesel for freight carriers while increasing inflation risks worldwide.Context: Brent crude's move above $90 a barrel — its first since mid-June — builds on last week's gains after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deteriorated further, reducing tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following a brief rebound.The nationwide average U.S. gasoline price was just below [...]
A senior Trump administration official and key adviser are slamming OpenAI head of strategic futures Dean Ball's views on regulation, casting a shadow on the future of the company's relationship with the government. Why it matters: The criticism targets a former White House architect of the administration's AI Action Plan who now works at OpenAI, potentially complicating the company's relationship with the Trump administration.State of play: The Trump administration is grappling with how to balance competition and cybersecurity concerns as increasingly capable Chinese AI models come onto the scene. Ball said the Trump administration would eventually land on creating regulatory [...]
DETROIT — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's message on the campaign trail increasingly echoes Barack Obama's early rhetoric during his 2008 campaign for president.Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is broadening her pitch beyond revolutionary democratic socialism to something closer to Obama's "Change You Can Believe In" ahead of a potential 2028 run for the White House.Former senior Obama adviser David Axelrod also hears the parallels, telling Axios: "Folks forget how much the Obama campaign in 2008 was an insurgency against the broken politics of those times. So AOC's words, while her own, are familiar in spirit."Driving the news: Campaigning in Michigan this weekend [...]
The Justice Department is asking a never-before-used federal court to remove an unnamed noncitizen, the first use of a 30-year-old process that could give President Trump a new tool for his deportation agenda.Why it matters: If the Justice Department wins, it could remove people it links to terrorism while keeping much of its evidence secret.A loss could show why this court sat idle for 30 years: The law may demand more than the government wants to provide.Driving the news: The DOJ filed the first application in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court's history last Wednesday.The one-page filing does not name the [...]
Republicans admit the GOP's midterm forecast is bleak. But they're clinging to two hopes: voters' fear and loathing of Democrats."It's going to be a hate election," a Republican tied to President Trump's political operation told Axios. "Voters have to hate the Dems more than they hate us. And we have material to work with."Why it matters: There's broad GOP frustration that Trump has made challenging midterm elections worse by not focusing heavily on pocketbook issues — especially the tax cuts Republicans won — while launching the Iran war, which raised gas prices and fueled inflation.Trump's prime-time speech Thursday night about [...]
Just when Republicans thought they'd caught a break on gas prices, the collapse of President Trump's Iran deal is derailing their best chance to change the inflation story before the midterms.Why it matters: Falling gas prices are one of the most tangible ways to ease voter anger over inflation. Renewed combat — and the threat of escalation — has prices shooting back up.The big picture: Trump has said repeatedly that gas prices will "drop like a rock" when the war is over. But the war doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.When the U.S. first launched attacks on Feb. 28, [...]
Two U.S. service members were killed and more wounded in an Iranian ballistic missile attack on an airbase in Jordan on Saturday, military officials said. The big picture: This is the first time U.S. troops have been killed since the fighting resumed two weeks ago. The incident raises the number of U.S. service members killed in the war to 16. Driving the news: On Saturday at least two Iranian ballistic missiles hit the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, which hosts U.S. troops and fighter jets. Videos circulating on social media showed the impact of the two missiles and heavy [...]
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Saturday issued a belligerent statement accusing President Trump of violating the U.S.-Iran agreement and pledging a strong response by Iran and its proxies if the fighting continues to escalate. Why it matters: Khamenei's statement came as renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran reached an eighth consecutive day. Both sides are heightening their attacks and expanding the scope of their targets. In his statement, Khamenei called the U.S. "the great Satan" — a term he hasn't used since assuming office. This rhetoric signals a return to classic Iranian revolutionary language following the breakdown of [...]
China's latest AI breakthrough is forcing Silicon Valley to confront a terrifying possibility: Building the world's smartest models may no longer be enough to win.Why it matters: Chinese labs like Moonshot AI are cornering the market for cheap, customizable intelligence, threatening to turn America's prestige models into expensive niche products.Driving the news: Companies were already shifting away from premium AI models and toward cheaper Chinese alternatives before Moonshot's Kimi K3 exploded onto the scene this week.On OpenRouter — a major marketplace that lets developers access hundreds of competing AI systems — Chinese models now occupy the top five spots by [...]
Judges are becoming AI firewalls, setting guidelines for lawyers and litigants entering their courtrooms and reprimanding those who fail to vet their research or cite fake AI-generated cases.But judges are also navigating how to use the tech themselves.Why it matters: As attorney sanctions mount for irresponsible AI use, judges' chambers are at the center of the push and pull between innovation and caution. Some early adopters see AI use as a catalyst for justice — while other jurists remain staunchly skeptical."AI has the possibility to be an incredible value adder and force maximizer in the federal judiciary," says Amy Cyphert, [...]
Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) are both still considering bids for the U.S. Senate despite President Trump endorsing Darline Graham Nordone for a full six-year term.Why it matters: A run by either could mean a messy Aug. 11 special primary to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on the general election ballot.But Mace is still considering a bid, according to two sources familiar with her thinking, with one telling Axios it would be "political malpractice not to."Norman, asked if he is still considering a run, told Axios in a text message: "Yes!!"Driving the news: Trump wrote [...]
President Trump has endorsed Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), in next month's special election to replace Graham as the GOP candidate on the November ballot.Why it matters: Nordone has not publicly confirmed plans to run, but Trump's endorsement will vault her ahead of other GOP candidates vying to replace her late brother.The winner of November's election will serve until January 2033. Nordone was sworn in earlier this week to replace her brother for the remainder of the current term, which ends on January 3, 2027.What they're saying: "I asked Darline, for the Good of [...]
President Trump is threatening to raise tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke that drifted from the country into the U.S., triggering health warnings and disrupting outdoor activities.Why it matters: Dealing with Canadian wildfire smoke is becoming a semi-regular occurrence in the Midwest and Northeast.It degrades air quality, exposing millions to short- and long-term health risks, Axios' Herb Scribner reports.Driving the news: Trump said Friday on Truth Social that the "cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying."He blamed the wildfire smoke on Canadian officials for "not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush [...]
The Senate is set for another big House infusion next year.Why it matters: The two chambers often clash over differing cultures and procedures. An influx of senators used to the faster, more confrontational politics of the House could create new headaches for Senate leaders.At least five, and potentially as many as 13, current House members could become senators next year, though their paths vary widely.Competitive midterm races, retirements, primary challenges and senators running for governor have opened the door to fresh Senate blood. Driving the news: Several GOP House members are in the mix to replace Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), [...]
Solo dining is having a moment, with reservations for one jumping 23% over the past year, booking app OpenTable says. Why it matters: That growth may look like another sign of America's loneliness epidemic. But many solo diners say eating alone offers a rare chance to slow down, reflect and savor the small stuff.Driving the news: Veronica Selzler, a 36-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, told Washington Post food critic Elazar Sontag — who first reported OpenTable's solo dining data — that she regularly takes herself on solo dates.Selzler sits at the bar, brings a book or sketchpad, avoids picking up her [...]
The Trump administration notified Israel it is sending dozens more refueling planes to the country ahead of a potential expansion of military operations against Iran, three U.S. and Israeli officials said. Why it matters: After he was presented with several new military plans in a Situation Room meeting Tuesday, President Trump is considering a massive offensive in Iran that would be wider in scope than the current strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.The big picture: Among the options being considered are bombing Iranian infrastructure facilities like power plants, conducting more attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities in order to bury Iran's [...]
Multiple survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse said a long-awaited meeting with attorney general nominee Todd Blanche felt more like an obligatory box to check than a substantive conversation.The big picture: For Blanche, the meeting was a necessary step to unlock a crucial vote for his confirmation to be the nation's chief law enforcement officer. For survivors, it was a historic first in their lengthy trek for justice.Blanche met with Epstein's victims on Thursday, after retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) signaled a sit-down with survivors was necessary before he would vote to advance the acting attorney general's nomination to the full [...]
America's commanding lead in advanced AI is gone.A Chinese moonshot — literally and figuratively — has caught up to models that defined the U.S. frontier just weeks ago, at a substantially lower price.Why it matters: Kimi K3, a massive new model by Beijing-based Moonshot AI, threatens the foundations of America's AI boom. Its release Thursday dazzled developers, jolted Silicon Valley and reset the AI race overnight.Driving the news: Kimi immediately vaulted into the top tier of global AI, beating Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol in front-end coding tests by AI evaluator Arena.In Arena's broader text ranking, Kimi finished [...]
With millions of dollars sitting in AI super PAC accounts, the industry's influence in the midterms is on track to expand.Why it matters: AI groups have already become major players in congressional races, but the latest Federal Election Commission filings suggest that the biggest spending may lie ahead.Candidates are not definitively winning or losing on the AI issue alone so far. But with millions of dollars still available, AI groups are positioned to push their priorities hard through November.By the numbers: Leading the Future — a pro-AI industry super PAC backed by tech execs and investors pushing rapid AI development [...]
Toronto pedestrians walk as wildfire smoke turns the skies orange. Photo: Cole Burston/AFP via Getty ImagesThe wildfire smoke drifting into the eyes, throats and lungs of millions of Americans and Canadians this week is a stark reminder that the planet is changing in unsettling ways.The smoke, from wildfires raging in northern Minnesota and Canada, is causing dangerously bad air across the Midwest and Northeast — and could soon waft elsewhere.Air quality alerts have been issued in New York, Chicago, Toronto and more, with officials urging folks to stay inside.Zoom in: It's too early to tie these wildfires directly to climate [...]
President Trump cast American elections as under siege Thursday night, describing a system riddled with vulnerabilities that hostile foreign actors and unauthorized immigrants are exploiting.Driving the news: Trump's dark, foreboding 25-minute address from the East Room of the White House served two main purposes:Build support for his SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and is stalled in the Senate.And return to a topic that fixates him perhaps more than any other: The 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.Four takeaways from Trump's primetime speech:The bogeymen: China and the Deep StateTrump, citing newly released [...]
President Trump threatened again to revoke the broadcast licenses of ABC and NBC on Thursday, after those networks decided not to preempt their regularly scheduled programming to cover his address on election integrity live.Why it matters: The Federal Communications Commission has already launched probes into broadcasters, alleging their practices violate public interest standards. Those efforts could have serious business consequences. "In a rare move, NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they would not cover this speech. They knew what it was about," he said. "Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses."The official White House [...]
President Trump alleged Thursday that U.S. intelligence agencies covered up information about alleged Chinese efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. election.Why it matters: The document release is likely to renew scrutiny of Trump's claims about foreign interference in the U.S. election and the government's past intelligence assessments.The documents release allege that foreign adversaries — including Russia, China and Iran — were viewed as real threats to U.S. elections.Reality check: Multiple released documents say large-scale manipulation of U.S. voting systems would be difficult to accomplish without detection.The White House released four batches of documents — including ones about voting vulnerabilities, China, [...]
President Trump alleged during a White House address Thursday that China interfered in the 2020 election and that U.S. intelligence agencies covered it up.Why it matters: Trump is reopening a politically charged debate over China's role in the 2020 election while directly challenging U.S. intelligence assessments that concluded Beijing did not try to influence the election's outcome.Driving the news: During his address, Trump said the White House released documents alleging that "over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, Beijing carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in [...]
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wants to hold a conspicuously early vote on a short-term funding bill next week — more than two months before the government runs out of money.Why it matters: Johnson may be setting himself up to win in September by losing in July.A failed vote on a short-term spending stopgap could potentially strengthen the GOP leader's hand in another difficult challenge: securing $67 billion for the Pentagon to replenish its munitions through the reconciliation process, according to conservative lawmakers.An early defeat on a continuing resolution would give Johnson a pretext to shoehorn a spending stopgap bill [...]
White House officials were surprised in recent days to read in the Israeli press that President Trump would host Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.In fact, no meeting has been scheduled. Why it matters: Netanyahu has visited the Oval Office six times since Trump returned to office a year and a half ago — more than any other world leader. Each of those meetings was scheduled within a matter of hours or days. This time, Netanyahu has been trying to get an appointment for more than two weeks. The fact that Trump isn't rushing to sit down with Netanyahu in [...]
Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI stunned developers on Thursday with a massive new model that may rival the best American systems at a fraction of the cost.Why it matters: Kimi K3's early performance is fueling awe across the AI world — and alarm in Silicon Valley and Washington — as China appears to be rapidly erasing America's lead in advanced AI.Catch up quick: Moonshot says Kimi K3 contains 2.8 trillion total parameters, making it one of the largest open-weight AI models ever released.It has a 1 million-token context window, allowing it to process enormous amounts of text at once, and [...]
President Trump's primetime speech Thursday evening won't receive live coverage among at least two of the four major TV networks — but it will be available via streaming. The big picture: The address, which is expected to center around election security, puts ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox between a rock and a hard place: air potentially false claims about the 2020 election or risk backlash from the White House and a confrontational Federal Communications Commission.Driving the news: NBC News said in a statement it would provide live coverage of the president's remarks on NBC News NOW and air "a special [...]
Half of all ICE field offices across the U.S. now have body cameras for agents, with the rest expected to get them within 60 days, according to the Department of Homeland Security.Why it matters: Calls for all agents to be outfitted with cameras have accelerated as a series of fatal shootings and other use-of-force incidents have unfolded nationwide.The big picture: The push for ICE body cameras has been a years-long effort. But pressure for more scrutiny of agents' actions has been particularly strong since agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis earlier this year and two more people were [...]

Denver mushroom decriminalization changed the national conversation around psilocybin access, personal use, and grassroots psychedelic reform. In this episode of Psychedelics Today, Joe Moore speaks with Travis Tyler Fluck, an autognostic mycologist, educator, activist, end-of-life doula, and longtime Colorado mushroom community organizer. Fluck was involved in Denver's 2019 psilocybin campaign, which made adult personal use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms the city's lowest law enforcement priority. The campaign passed by a narrow margin and helped open the door for later reforms in Oakland, Washington, D.C., Oregon, Colorado, and beyond. This conversation looks at the people, ethics, and tensions behind Denver [...]

Hammel explains that the symposium is now in its third year and is designed to bring major psychedelic voices to Colorado's West Slope. She also outlines the local roots of the Aspen Psychedelic Resource Center, which grew out of education and outreach work [...]

Alberding shares what it has been like to face a fatal neurodegenerative illness while working with ketamine in a structured clinical setting.

Over time, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy [...]

She explains that Australia has not decriminalized psychedelics. Instead, psilocybin and MDMA can be prescribed in [...]

Kopelman is CEO of Mission Within Foundation, which provides scholarships for veterans and first responders seeking psychedelic-assisted therapy retreats, often outside the United States. The conversation centers on veterans, the VA, and why that system may be the first realistic federal pathway for psychedelic care. Early Themes Lavasani describes PMC's work on Capitol Hill, including hosting events that bring lawmakers, staffers, [...]
Enamory is a clinical practice, training institute, and nonprofit research organization focused on psychedelic assisted couples therapy. In this episode, clinical psychologists Chandra Kian and Kayla Knopp discuss their work integrating ketamine assisted psychotherapy with evidence based couples therapy models. Both guests trained as academic researchers at the University of California San Diego Veterans Affairs system, where they worked on large scale couples based PTSD trials. They later co founded Enamory to continue clinical work, train therapists, and conduct research focused specifically on relationships. Early Themes in Enamory and Couples Therapy The conversation begins with Dr. Kian and Dr. Knopp [...]
Fireside Project is a nonprofit that helps reduce the risks of psychedelic experiences through a free support line, coaching, education, and research. In this episode, Joshua White speaks with Psychedelics Today about why real-time support matters, what it takes to run a national hotline, and what Fireside learned after more than 30,000 conversations since launch. White shares how his background as a lawyer and his early hotline volunteering shaped Fireside's model. He also describes how festival harm reduction work, including lessons from Zendo-style support spaces, revealed a major gap: people often need help during an experience and after it ends. [...]
Manvir Singh joins Psychedelics Today to unpack what shamanism means and why the term matters now. Singh is an anthropologist and author of Shamanism: The Timeless Religion. He argues that shamanism is not limited to "remote" societies or the past. Instead, it reliably reappears because it helps humans manage uncertainty, illness, and the unknown. This episode is relevant for the psychedelic community because "shaman" often gets used loosely, or avoided entirely. Singh offers a clear framework for talking about shamanic practice without leaning on romantic myths, drug-centered assumptions, or rigid definitions that do not fit the cross-cultural record. Early Themes [...]
Oli critiques extractive, capital-driven dynamics in the psychedelic ecosystem and suggests fungi offer a different ethic: patience, humility, symbiosis, and realism about parasitism and imbalance. Oli Genn-Bash (Brighton, UK) joins Joe Moore for a grounded conversation on the boom in functional mushrooms and why the category may be moving too quickly. As the founder of The Fungi Consultant, Oli works with consumers and brands to demystify functional mushrooms, with a focus on education, traceability, and realistic expectations. The conversation begins with a critique of wellness hype cycles. Oli explains how consumer desperation for help with anxiety, sleep, stress, and cognition [...]
In this live episode, Tricia Eastman joins to discuss Seeding Consciousness: Plant Medicine, Ancestral Wisdom, Psychedelic Initiation. She explains why many Indigenous initiatory systems begin with consultation and careful assessment of the person, often using divination and lineage-based diagnostic methods before anyone enters ceremony. Eastman contrasts that with modern frameworks that can move fast, rely on short trainings, or treat the medicine as a stand-alone intervention. Early Themes: Ritual, Preparation, and the Loss of Container Eastman describes her background, including ancestral roots in Mexico and her later work at Crossroads Ibogaine in Mexico, where she supported early ibogaine work with [...]
Logan Davidson joins the show to talk about the fast-moving world of Ibogaine in American and why state-based leadership is shaping the future of psychedelic reform. Davidson is the executive director of Texans for Greater Mental Health, the legislative director at VETS, and a key strategist behind Texas' landmark interest in ibogaine research. He also advises for Americans for Ibogaine. His work sits at the intersection of science, policy, and lived experience, and this conversation offers a clear look into what is happening right now. Early Themes: The Rise of State Advocacy Davidson explains how he entered politics at nineteen [...]
In this episode, Michael Sapiro joins Kyle Buller to explore truth, healing, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy through the lens of his new book, Truth Medicine. A clinical psychologist, ordained Zen Buddhist monk, retreat leader, and fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, he blends Buddhist psychology, trauma work, and consciousness studies. The discussion focuses on how people discover and live their truth, and why that truth becomes the core medicine in healing. Early in the Podcast with Michael Sapiro Michael describes how years of clinical work and retreat facilitation shaped his understanding of healing. Real transformation happens when people speak truths [...]
Holotropic Breathwork sits at the center of this wide ranging conversation between Psychedelics Today co-founders Joe Moore and Kyle Buller. Drawing from decades of personal practice and assorted types of breathwork facilitation, they explore how breathwork methods from the Grof lineage including Dreamshadow Breathwork can prepare people for psychedelic work, support difficult journeys, and deepen integration over time. Kyle shares how his near death experience, somatic training, and breathwork facilitation shaped this new course on breathwork foundations, while Joe reflects on how reading Dr Stanislav Grof and years of experience in Holotropic Breathwork changed how he approaches psychedelics. Early Themes: [...]
Alexander Beiner joins Psychedelics Today to explore how psychedelics, culture, and power shape each other. A writer, facilitator, and co founder of the conference Breaking Convention and the media platform KAINOS, he has spent years thinking about how psychedelic experiences ripple into politics, economics, conflict, and community. In this episode, he and Joe trace the path from early internet forums to today's psychedelic renaissance, and ask what it would mean to bring a truly psychedelic perspective into our institutions. Beiner is less interested in psychedelics as a niche medical tool and more interested in how they can help us see [...]
Overview Evelyn Eddy Shoop PMHNP-BC joins Psychedelics Today to share her journey from Division I athlete to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and psilocybin research participant. In this conversation, she explains how sports injuries, OCD, and intensive treatment led her into psychiatry and eventually into a psilocybin clinical trial at Yale. Her story weaves together lived experience, clinical training, and a call for more humane systems of care and better qualitative data in psychedelic science. Early Themes: Injury, OCD, and Choosing Psychiatry Early in the episode, Evelyn Eddy Shoop PMHNP-BC describes how multiple season ending injuries in college and serious [...]
Learn more - https://psychedeliconcology.com/ In this episode, Joe Moore sits down with Dr. Jason Konner, a longtime oncologist who recently left his full-time clinical role at Memorial Sloan Kettering to devote himself to the emerging intersection of cancer care and psychedelics. Dr Konner shares how, after more than two decades treating people, he hit a wall. The accumulated grief, constant exposure to death, and intensity of oncology left him deeply burned out, though he didn't have that language for it at the time. A chance moment in a yoga class, overhearing someone say "ayahuasca retreat" just before he was scheduled [...]
Clinical psychologist Dr. Genesee Herzberg joins Kyle to reflect on two decades in trauma work and 15 years inside the psychedelic ecosystem—from early MAPS conferences to running Sage Integrative Health. She traces how personal psychedelic experiences set her on a path of service, research at CIIS on MDMA-assisted therapy, and hands-on roles with MAPS: Zendo Project harm reduction, adherence rating, and ultimately serving as an MDMA therapist in clinical trials. Today she leads Sage, an integrative clinic (psychotherapy, psychiatry, bodywork, acupuncture, and functional nutrition) focused on ketamine-assisted therapy while preparing for MDMA's eventual approval. She also co-founded a sliding-scale KAP [...]
Clinical psychologist Dr. Ros Watts joins Psychedelics Today to share insights from her decade of work with psilocybin therapy and her evolving focus on community-based integration. As the former Clinical Lead for Imperial College London's landmark psilocybin-for-depression trial, Dr. Watts witnessed how psychedelic experiences can foster profound feelings of connection— to self, others, and nature — yet also how that connection can fade without ongoing support. In this conversation, she reflects on what years of research have taught her about connectedness as both a healing mechanism and a human need. She explores how integration work can transform fleeting psychedelic breakthroughs [...]
Artist, builder, and podcast host Jennifer Espenscheid joins Joe Moore for a rich conversation on creativity, process, and the spiritual dimensions of making art. Drawing from her South Dakota roots and large-scale works like Luciferia, Jennifer reflects on the blend of grit, intuition, and trust that guides her artistic life. She discusses how psychedelics have served as a tool for clarity and healing rather than direct creation of art, helping her dissolve patterns and reconnect to innate creativity. They explore how events like Burning Man catalyze inspiration, why intention and integration matter as much as vision, and the discipline of [...]
Brad Adams — LAMPS (Los Angeles Psychedelic Society) joins Kyle to trace his path from PhD researcher to community builder. Brad shares how early work in AIDS, Alzheimer's, gerontology, and cancer research primed him to notice Harbor-UCLA's psilocybin pilot for stage-4 cancer patients with death anxiety—where the strongest mystical experiences correlated with profound death acceptance. Teaming with Dennis McKenna, he ran an ayahuasca pilot in Peru and presented findings at Psychedelic Science 2017. From there, Brad founded LAMPS: first as research meetups at UCLA, then as a thriving hub hosting speakers and, ultimately, an L.A. psychedelic conference. He previews the [...]
In this episode, Kyle and Joe sit down with filmmaker Mustapha Khan and Dreamshadow's Elizabeth & Lenny Gibson to explore Life and Breath—a new documentary immersing viewers in the experience and community of Holotropic Breathwork. We talk about why Mustapha was drawn to Dreamshadow, the film's cinéma vérité approach that places you "in the room," and how years of facilitation informed what became both an archival record and a living portrait of transformation. Elizabeth and Lenny reflect on 35+ years of holding space, the role of curiosity over agenda, and why genuine community—not just catharsis—is central to lasting growth. Kyle [...]
In this episode, Joe Moore talks with Megan Portnoy, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Antioch University New England, about how ontological design can reshape the environments used in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Megan explains how physical space is not just a backdrop but an active participant in the therapeutic process, influencing emotion, cognition, and healing. She recently won an award for her presentation on this topic at PsychedelX. They explore how design principles that foster awe, play, and flexibility can deepen integration and expand what's possible in clinical settings. The conversation also examines how psychedelic communities can balance openness with [...]
Joe and Kyle open with reflections from their first r/psychonaut AMA, then pivot to why they're building Navigators—our off-social community with book/film clubs, early ad-free episodes, mentorship, and an expanding education library. The core discussion explores touch and bodywork in breathwork and psychedelic contexts: why defaulting to "no touch" and moving slowly matters; informed consent; reading nonverbals; and keeping client agency central. They unpack trauma-informed concepts like the window of tolerance, polyvagal‐adjacent ideas (and critiques), and the ethics of avoiding re-traumatization or facilitator-driven interventions ("WAIT: Why am I Talking/Treating/Touching?"). The duo emphasize that bodywork requires specialized training and careful framing—supportive, [...]
Interviewers: Joe Moore & Anne Philippi Guests: TK Wonder & Cipriana Quann (The Quann Sisters) Recorded: June 18 during MAPS PS 2025 Content note: This episode discusses childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, and recovery. Identical twins, writers, and culture-shapers TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann join Joe and Anne for a frank, generous conversation about identity, resilience, and the long arc of healing. Cipriana recounts launching Urban Bush Babes in 2011 to center women of color in beauty and fashion—work that led to a Vogue "day-in-the-life" feature and collaborations with couture houses. TK shares the parallel [...]
In this candid, practice-focused conversation, Joe is joined by Norwegian psychologist and researcher Ivar Goksøyr to explore how therapists' own healing journeys can measurably improve client outcomes—and why MDMA-assisted experiences, used thoughtfully, may be a uniquely powerful catalyst for professional development. Ivar shares lessons from Norway's psychedelic research team (PTSD and the world's first MDMA-for-depression trial), his clinic Psykologvirke in Oslo, and his online course, "The Wounded Healer," which uses authentic footage from his FDA-approved MAPS volunteer MDMA sessions to illuminate real clinical processes, countertransference, and the "inner healing intelligence" as a working metaphor rather than dogma. The discussion ranges [...]
Joe and Kyle debrief a hometown Dreamshadow Transpersonal Breathwork weekend in Breckenridge, then sketch the next chapter for Psychedelics Today: a community-centric model (Navigators) that bundles education, live streams, book and film clubs, and small-group access. They kick around the big "creativity + psychedelics" question, contrast subjective "I feel creative" with objective task performance, and highlight new research—from DMT's potential in stroke recovery to breathwork's measurable effects. They wrap with quick hits on MAPS leadership, state policy moves, and what's coming up at PT this fall. Highlights & takeaways Breathwork > substance? A reminder that profound states are accessible without [...]
Episode summary Joe and Mary dive into how platform censorship and shifting algorithms have reshaped psychedelic media, why DoubleBlind moved to a "newsletter-first" model, and what that's revealed about true audience engagement. They reflect on the post-2024 MDMA decision headwinds, state-level policy moves (wins and losses), and how funding, politics, and culture continue to reconfigure the field. They also explore alternatives to alcohol, chronic pain research, reciprocity around iboga/ibogaine, and lessons from PS25 (MAPS' Psychedelic Science 2025). Highlights & themes From platforms to inboxes: Social and search suppression (IG/FB/Google) throttled harm-reduction journalism; DoubleBlind's pivot to email dramatically improved reach and [...]

Exceptional music. Hits most of what I want in good progressive psy. Driving grooves, interesting basslines, techno/house inflected but decidedly psychedelic. Album under Shamanic Records is a banger. Sound takes me back to the early 2000s era more than anything else I've heard recently. Tracks getting picked up from some of my favorite labels like Stereo Society and Digital Structures. I listen to most of what comes out in the psytech and prog scene but if anyone has any recommendations similar to this artist, please let me know!

Hi y‘all, I’ve read pretty much all posts I could find and now I am a bit insecure about modem, where I want to go in a month. I’d camp a bit further out anyways. Would you skip drugs completely - or is it manageable if you hide them properly? I’ve almost only read negative posts, but this might just be the people who had a strong experience and want to share. Is there anyone experienced and can give some guidance? Ty! submitted by /u/PlatypusOutrageous26 [link] [comments] [...]
Hey guys, who has been to Sola Luna Festival? I've been reading reviews here and it seems like there is no water and a massive cash grab with overpriced food bottled water and accommodation. So I wanted to ask from the people who have been the following: Can you rent tents from anywhere in Koh Phangan to bring in instead of paying €100 to rent one? Can you buy massive bottles of water outside the festival to bring in? I read they search you and don't allow alcohol in but can I bring water? VDJs are the visuals and effects [...]

I’m considering grabbing tickets for Modular Festival in Switzerland (Melchtal, 3–7 Sept 2026), but I’m a bit on the fence. The line-up isn’t out yet, and I could only find very few posts about it here, so I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually been. A couple of things I’m wondering about: **• Noise/sound regulations:** I found an older post mentioning noise restrictions, but the organizers have since moved to a new location. Does anyone know if there’s updated info on volume limits at the new site? **• Sound quality:** How’s the actual sound on the floors? **• The [...]
I heard it at and event once but struggling to find it.

I like retro/Goa and saw a lot of live sets from a festival only playing that style, in Goa. I literally flew there over the weekend just for that festival, with work on the Monday. It was really hot during the day and at night the volume had to be reduced due to it being sandwiched between a residential area. The sound system in general wasn't very crisp. Most of the crowd was Israeli and this was a few months after the Hamas attacks so the energy was really weird. Sort of cliquey and 'patriotic'. You generally wouldn't mingle with [...]

I’d like to share a new visual concept I created for “Tribal Visions” by Neuroattack. The music itself is an original psytrance production by Neuroattack — it is not AI-generated. The idea behind the video was to build a mysterious tribal jungle world around the track, filled with shamanic rituals, fire energy, dancers, glowing portals and cinematic psychedelic scenes. I wanted the visuals to feel connected to the rhythm and atmosphere of the music, rather than simply looking like a random sequence of effects.
