Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for hundreds, likely thousands of years. With at least 116 psilocybin active species known to date, their widespread occurrence and long history of use by numerous cultures has set the stage for modern medicine to measure their folklorically reported, therapeutic benefits.
Currently, more than 40 universities in North America and Europe have been approved for clinical studies ranging from treating depression to Alzheimer’s to addiction. Psilocybin has risen to the forefront of medical research.
This talk will cover the psilocybin movement through history into the modern epoch. It offers an overview of the most clinically significant studies, the newest research on psilocybin analogs, micro-dosing and the implications for creating a paradigm shift in the ecology of consciousness.
Will psilocybin help us be healthier, happier and better Earth citizens? Could psilocybin be the tipping point in the next quantum leap in the evolution of humans? Let’s look at the evidence together for an informed discussion.

This evening will review the history, scientific findings and implications of psychedelic-generated mystical experience research in treating end-of-life suffering. The NYU clinical trial demonstrated the efficacy of a single psilocybin-generated mystical experience in helping individuals with cancer reduce emotional distress, enhance existential and psycho-spiritual well-being and foster a greater acceptance of the dying process with less anxiety.
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in specific species of mushrooms. Subjective features of a mystical experience include unity, sacredness, transcendence, ineffability and an enhanced awareness of positive emotions including that of love. The landmark findings of a rapid decrease in depression, anxiety, hopelessness and demoralization, along with improvements in spiritual well-being, will be presented.
We will discuss existential and psychological distress in palliative care along with a review of the phenomenology of mystical experience. Other implications for the study of psychedelics and mystical experience include the treatment of myriad mental health disorders and the advancement of our understanding of consciousness, meaning and spirituality.
