[Monday March 13, 2022 – Well…. things got complicated. Turns out that the sense of integrity and wisdom that Synthesis projected onto the world through their reputation and their representatives didn’t line up with the internal workings of their company. The sad result is that they have filled for bankruptcy and their training program, which many people paid thousands of dollars for, is now up in the air for the time being.
You can learn more about what happened here and here.
This is a sad and unfortunate situation for all those involved, and it seems that my sense of their company being deserving of my acknowledgments was a misjudgment. I was as led astray with my perception of this company as many others.
For those who signed up to their training program via my enthusiasm for their company, I sincerely apologize and wish you a smooth and successful completion of the course when it comes back and/or a refund. For what it’s worth, I earned no revenue from this company at all and even the sponsorship/affiliate arrangement we made was met with me being ghosted when it was time to get paid (for obvious reasons). I tell you this not to complain, as I fared much better out of their collapse as a company than many others. I tell you this so you don’t think that I profited of my association with them in any direct way.]
This is an expert-led panel discussion focused on the current state of the psychedelic space and will explore the impact, innovation, and insights we are experiencing as access to psychedelics expands.

Together Jahan and I have a wide-ranging discussion that starts with a wondering about the cultural place psychedelics are presently in with their growing rise to mainstream (and corporate) popularity.
From there we go into the role psychedelics can play in cultivating a strong, but healthy ego; why taking heroic doses is not the best way to heal or learn and it may actually hurt you; how our drive for connection has been violated by modern life but remains available to us if we learn how to heal the wounds we carry as a consequence of modern life; and why an understanding of psychedelics requires us to transcend reductionism and materialism.
Furthermore, this conversation waves in and out from microscopic to the cosmologic as we also discuss the role fungi, in general, have played and continue to play in the evolution and existence of life and consciousness on this planet; how psilocybin may have assisted in the development of human consciousness; psychedelic molecules and the Gaian mind; infinite variability of Unity; the voice of the Mushroom; the voice of God; and the archetypal structure of reality.
We even talk about how the genetic expression that leads to ADHD may have driven the very evolution of human consciousness through its quest for novelty and an inclination to wander.
