In this episode, Joe interviews Tom and Sheri Eckert, organizers of the Oregon Psilocybin Therapy Initiative. The IP 34 is the bill that would legalize psilocybin therapy. 3 Key Points: IP 34 asks the Oregon Health Authority to create a licensing system that will create a regulated program where Oregonians suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma and other challenges can see a licensed and trained facilitator to receive supervised psilocybin therapy. IP 34 was written by licensed therapists in Oregon along with the country’s leading advocates in the field. It is supported by healthcare professionals, treatment providers, veterans’ groups and community leaders across the state. There has been a multitude of studies from leading medical research institutions such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and NYU showing that psilocybin therapy works.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Tom and Sheri began their interest in psilocybin research about 5 years ago when they read an article in The New Yorker by Michal Pollan They realized how powerful psilocybin was for clinical work They are both therapists, and were inspired to find out if there was a way to create a modality that allowed them to provide psilocybin therapy to help their clients Psilocybin Assisted Psychotherapy Psychotherapy is supposed to be experiential, the breakthrough is where the change happens Sheri says that psilocybin therapy gets all parts of the brain in communication together “The more intense the mystical experience the more clinical outcomes that are achieved” - Tom Ballot Initiative They started in 2015 They wanted the breakthrough studies and the research proving low risks to work for them The psychedelic community was very helpful They went through rotations with the way the initiative was written They like the therapy model, its safe, careful and mindful Clause Joe asks about a Supremacy Clause, where the state supersedes local districts This initiative does not get in the way of any other initiative There are angles on all different types of drug policy reform There is nothing in the IP34 that blocks any other initiative like decriminalization We are all a part of the big picture, we all need to work together GMP Psilocybin They wanted to keep this in the frame of non-commercialization Their goal with this is not about money, it’s really about the healing “We are trying to move forward a healing modality to help people, we are trying to legalize psilocybin assisted psychotherapy” - Tom There is a part in the initiative that says measures will have to be taken to make sure the psilocybin is ‘food grade’ standard or in general just clean and safe Oregonians to Sign the Petition Download the petition, sign it, and mail it in Final Thoughts Sheri says that the team behind the initiative is inspired by what is happening globally around psilocybin and research They are right at the end of their signatures, but they need help to reach the goal “We've got to see the bigger picture here, and get behind it.” - Tom Links Website About Tom and Sheri Eckert As husband-and-wife founders of the Oregon Psilocybin Society (OPS) and authors of the Psilocybin Service Initiative (PSI), Tom and Sheri Eckert have set in motion a historic campaign to legalize Psilocybin Services, also known as Psilocybin Assisted Therapy, in their home state of Oregon. A growing number of Oregonians are getting behind the idea, largely in response to the latest science. The Eckerts, with a growing army of volunteers, are spreading a truth held increasingly self-evident: that the psilocybin experience, when facilitated under safe and supportive conditions, can be a life-changing gift.In addition to their activism, the Eckert’s own and operate “Innerwork” – a private psychotherapy practice serving the Portland metro area. Included in their catalog of services is their groundbreaking “Better Man” program, which is shown to neutralize intimate partner and family violence. Sheri has been awarded a Cosmic Sister Women of the Psychedelic Renaissance in support of her presentation at the Spirit Plant Medicine conference.

Satyen Raja, Founder of WarriorSage and Ignite Passion Now. He is a living synthesis of Eastern wisdom and Western practicality, combining the power of the warrior and the wisdom of the sage. He is a Kung-Fu Master and an Illumination Intensive Master. In fact, Satyen is one of the very few lead facilitators of the Zen-based Illumination Intensive, and the first to make this technique available on an international scale. The Illumination Intensive and the Sex, Passion & Enlightenment Intensive are just two of a range of trainings that Satyen has taught to tens of thousands of students in Canada, the U.S., Australia and Europe.In this period of rapid change, the call to individual and collective awakening is clear. It's beyond coincidence that the use of visionary/healing/awakening plants such as ayahuasca, psilocybe mushrooms, iboga, peyote, cannabis, and others is spreading rapidly at this time.When encountered in the best of conditions, these plants may be the most effective teachers we have now - direct conduits to the deepest, most enlightening truths. Our intention with this second Spirit Plant Medicine Conference is to offer accurate, respectful, and most of all beneficial information and inspiration on the use of and larger context around such plants. It's an intention arising from a vision and a prayer carried in the hearts of many.To that end we're assembling an exceptional group of knowledgeable, engaging, and heartfelt speakers to share their wisdom. You're warmly invited to join us for a remarkable weekend of insight, inspiration, compassion, and yes, humour.http://SpiritPlantMedicine.comSPIRIT PLANT MEDICINE CONFERENCEUBC, VANCOUVER, OCTOBER 26~28, 2012Friday, October 26, 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.6:30 - registration7:30 - blessings and opening remarks8:00 - “New Applications for Visionary Plants,” James Fadiman9:00 - “Meeting of Mind and Spirit: Learning from Sacred Plants,” AyasminA Flores, Sitaramaya10:00 - closeSaturday, October 27, 10 am - 10 pm10:00 - live music10:15 - “Psilocybin: Consciousness and Reciprocity,” Kathleen Harrison11:15 - “What the Plant Kingdom is Telling Us,” Jennifer Rae12:00 - lunch (vegan meal provided by Eternal Abundance Cafe is included in price of tickets)1:00 - live music1:15 - “Ayahuasca and Shamanic Spirituality,” Stephan Beyer2:15 - “Women, Plants, Culture” Kathleen Harrison, Eleonora Molnar, Ayasmina Flores, Sitaramaya3:30 - break4:00 - Deepening Practice, with Satyen Raja4:15 - “Bridging Non-Ordinary to Ordinary States: The WarriorSage's Way,” Satyen Raja5:15 - “Iboga and Waking Dreams,” Jonathan Dickinson6:00 - dinner (vegan meal provided by Eternal Abundance Cafe is included in price of tickets)7:00 - live music7:15 - TBD8:15 - presentation: TBD9:00 - panel: “A Guardian Lives in Her Leaves: On Cannabis Spirituality,” Chris Bennett, Dee Dussault, Nikhilesh, Stephen Gray10:00 - closeSunday, October 28, 10 am - 5 pm10:00 - live music10:15 - “Shamanic Techniques for Self-Care,” Kathleen Harrison11:15 - Interactive workshop: “The Healing Power of Chants,” AyasminA Flores, Sitaramaya12:00 - lunch (vegan meal provided by Eternal Abundance Cafe is included in price of tickets)1:00 - live music1:15 - panel: “Ethics, Legalities, and Multicultural Considerations” Stephan Beyer, Ayasmina Flores, Sitaramaya, Kenneth Tupper2:30 - short break2:45 - presentation: TBD3:45 - panel: “Back to the Future: The Path Forward” James Fadiman, Stephan Beyer4:45 - closing ceremony and remarks5:00 - The End . . . or . . .
