The 5th course of @mind_europe's Augmented Psychotherapy Training (APT) just started its 1st intensive week. Amazing group! 30 participants, diverse professional backgrounds in mental health, from all over Europe & beyond, including people from Chile, Guatemala, Israel & Egypt.
MIND x Berlin Science Week - our office is totally overrun with guests testing the limits of our event space. We stopped counting after 135.

Psychedelic practitioners are seldomly included in Psychedelics research. We are recruiting for a new study on psychedelic experiences and health behavior changes (by Lisbon+Leiden Universities) from the practitioners' perspective.

Interested in psychedelic-augmented psychotherapy? I strongly recommend this great new paper by Garel et al. (2023):
The Montreal model: an integrative biomedical-psychedelic approach to ketamine for severe treatment-resistant depression

@LeorRoseman Great, happy for you, Leor!
I'm excited to read what's coming from the group. 'Psychedelic practices' may be a top concept in the next years, I also attempted a heuristic in my (German) talk at INSIGHT this year. Please more psychedelics x sociology.
Wish you all the best 😊

@trpwolff Noo, though bricks and boards are a fun passtime. More typically associated with Tae Kwon Do, AFAIK.
The question leads me to a first drop of wisdom by Gichin Funakoshi:
"whoever brags, how many bricks he can break or tear flesh with his bare hands, has not understood Karate."🙃
Passed exam today for 4th degree black belt in Karate. I don't usually post personal stuff, but this is a good one.
I won't be able to test again until I'm at least 40 years of age - I'm proud to say the least.
Here I am after 9h gym time today:
Part of the exam was a presentation that I chose to discuss the connection between
Buddhism and martial arts.
Let me know if you'd like some insights, I'm happy to tweet on this every now and then.
