This is such important work and I couldn’t be more grateful to Steve and the whole Enfold team for being so thoughtful, patient and wise as they forge this path for all of us.
I believe we need a credible certification system so that those who reach out for growth and healing with these powerful medicines aren’t injured instead by groups cutting corners through ignorance or greed.
For myself - without the robustly supportive container so painstakingly and lovingly created by Steve and Austin, I wouldn’t be where I am today. In the right hands - the potential for healing individuals and communities is awe inspiring.
I share Steve’s concern for the health of the world and believe the challenges are tremendous. We will need every tool - and this is such a powerful one - to come together and rise to meet them.
Welcome Scott and a million thanks to Steve, Austin, Arthur and the team.
Well done. Some important questions here. I like your comment that "...the field stripped out the spiritual dimension that has always made these compounds meaningful" It resonate for me as I am working on a piece about the mystical dimension of psych journeys (not always mystical but often enough). Perhaps we need to just accept that these journeys will always have an indescribable, or even unknowable dimension as 5 MEO seems to have. And maybe we can even resist the temptation to parse the molecules down to their working components...a very human endeavour but not a spiritual one.
A lot of great ideas here. I could not be more excited to be a part of this next chapter.
So proud to be part of this. The right moment with the right people!

Really well said Steve! I find your invitation into the third wave very compelling, and appreciate all you have done to pave the way.

This was really well written, and it’s great to see people doing psychedelics from an educated and respectful place :)
