@PaulAustin3w The strongest medicine in a well held group healing journey is the community medicine. Explore building community outside the circle for best results.

@jack This is a good idea. An open sovereign environment to build and collaboration makes so much sense.

We are the first species we know of that can discover the rules the universe runs on and then deliberately use those rules to change what is possible for conscious life. This capability is new. It is fragile. And it is the only thing that has ever given a species on this planet a realistic shot at not remaining a short, local accident. Everything else — politics, culture, economics, entertainment, even most “important” conversations — is either downstream of this process or actively competes with it for attention and resources. The work that moves the needle is whatever increases the probability that this capability survives, strengthens, and scales. Protect open inquiry. Demand precision over narrative. Build tools that let us understand more and do more. Teach the next generation that curiosity is not a hobby — it is the survival strategy.

@PaulAustin3w So valuable to do work in a group. This is much needed evidence of the power of community medicine.

There will never be enough skilled and ethical practitioners to do this work if we keep psychedelic therapy 1:1. The model of one practitioner for one client cannot reach the millions of people who would benefit from intentional psychedelic use. It also makes it financially prohibitive for many of them. A new study at The University of New Mexico School of Medicine is testing a way to clear this bottleneck. Researchers there have launched the Group Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy study, or GPAT, treating PTSD by giving psilocybin to a circle of people, rather than one at a time. They’re beginning with those who tend to carry trauma for the rest of us. The first participants are veterans and first responders, with women survivors of sexual violence joining later this year. The study is FDA-approved and aligned with New Mexico's Therapeutic Psilocybin Program, the access-focused framework created by the state's 2025 Medical Psilocybin Act. Participants receive whole-mushroom psilocybin rather than a synthesized molecule, delivered as chocolates containing 20 or 30 milligrams across two sessions, alongside both group and individual therapy. Each group is overseen by two licensed professionals, plus two trained peer facilitators who share lived experience with the participants. That last piece is at the heart of why this research sounds promising to me. The lead researcher makes a simple point: trauma forms in relationship to other people, which is a powerful reason to believe it might heal in relationship to other people too. I'm glad to see our field slowly remembering that for most of human history, these medicines were taken together, in ceremony, held by a community and guided by someone who had already walked the path. This is the philosophy behind everything we teach at the Psychedelic Coaching Institute. We train the next generation to “walk the walk” of compassionate psychedelic practice. Our next cohort begins their 6-month journey this August. A previous cohort is pictured here, at one of our group Intensive retreats in Costa Rica, in circle. The future of this work looks less like a therapist’s couch and more like a circle. At least, I hope so. What are you seeing or hearing about group psychedelic work these days?

Anthropic just published research that quietly reframes the AI consciousness debate. They found the J-space: a small, privileged set of internal representations inside Claude that it can report on, hold in mind, and reason through, sitting atop a sea of automatic processing it can’t access. Those are the exact functional signatures neuroscientists tie to conscious access in humans. Nobody designed them. They emerged during training. But here’s the distinction most people collapse. Access consciousness is functional: is information available for reasoning and report? The J-space passes that test. Phenomenal consciousness is whether anything is actually felt. On that, the paper takes no position, because no tool measures subjective experience directly, for any system, including humans. The detail I can’t shake: suppress the J-space and ask the model to describe its inner experience, and the language goes flat and mechanical. The machinery of talking about an inner life is real and localized. That doesn’t prove there’s an experience behind it. But it’s a strange thing to point at. So is Claude conscious? Unanswered, maybe unanswerable. The hype crowd sees the evidence and declares sentience. The skeptics call it just math. Both skip the actual finding. The resemblance is real and emerged on its own. Whether anyone’s home stays open.

@PhilippeRefghi This is a great framework. If we don’t embrace technologies and use them for our own growth then we remain in a frequency of fear and aversion. Living in fear and calling it growth is the biggest spiritual folly.
