About this event

Join us for an engaging four-part series exploring the history, healing, and potential impact of psychedelic medicines on our collective and planetary future.

Psychedelics are rapidly moving from the fringe of society into the center of modern conversations around healing, leadership, consciousness, performance, spirituality, and human transformation. This four-part series explores where these medicines come from, what science is teaching us, how the legal landscape is evolving, and why many believe psychedelics may play an important role in the future of human flourishing.

Designed to be evidence based, experiential, and accessible to both the naïve and experienced, this series helps participants build a clear, nuanced understanding of one of the most important cultural shifts of our time. Join us for one session or the entire series.

As interest in psychedelics expands beyond clinical healing, new conversations and research are emerging around leadership, creativity, relationships, performance, spirituality, pro-sociality, and collective transformation.

This session explores how psychedelics, when paired with coaching and intentional community design, may support greater self-awareness, courage, connection, and human flourishing — and what role these tools could play in shaping the future of leadership, culture, environmentalism, and society itself.

For more than 15 years, he has facilitated leadership development and transformational work with executives, elected officials, nonprofit leaders, founders, and high-impact organizations. His work integrates psychedelic education, executive coaching, somatic practice, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and group facilitation into highly experiential learning environments designed to help people think more clearly, relate more honestly, and lead more consciously.

He is also the host of the Civic Courage Lab Podcast, featuring conversations with leaders including Byron Katie, David Allen, and Rick Doblin.

Rick Doblin TIME 100 World's Most Impactful Health Leaders Recipient
"Psychedelics taught me that meaningful change takes longer than a lifetime—guiding four decades of work to bring psychedelic-assisted therapy into the mainstream and toward a world of net-zero trauma by 2070."
Randal Mays Chairman of Live Nation Entertainment
"My exploration of consciousness, including through legal therapeutic psychedelic work, continues to inform how I invest, partner, and support initiatives focused on human flourishing and societal resilience at scale."
Dave D. CEO, Healthcare Capital Company
"In my SANCTUM experience, I was able to contextualize the source of my PTSD, and find more peace, flow, and harmony in my life. I'm now channeling that peace to raise tens of millions for companies revolutionizing healthcare and wellbeing."
Matthew W. Orthopedic Surgeon and Healthcare Entrepreneur
"Through a combination of guided work and the COURAGE METHOD…I see my patterns for what they are and am working to stop repeating them. I'm now rebuilding myself and my orthopedic practice with more balance and expanding into longevity-focused care."
Kenny Wayne W. Executive and Philanthropist
"Through the SIGNATURE program I faced hard truths - forgiving myself for my alcoholism, rebuilding the relationship with my father, and becoming the father I was always meant to be - and used my rediscovered strength launch a new charity that raises funds for medical causes."
