Overview
Most executives spend years optimizing external performance while ignoring the internal patterns shaping how they lead, decide, and relate. CLARITY creates intentional distance from daily noise so participants can examine what is actually driving their leadership and reconnect with direction, purpose, and forward momentum. The experience combines legal psychedelic work, executive coaching, somatic practices, structured peer dialogue, and facilitated integration inside a confidential, high-trust environment.

- Are navigating transition, burnout, or strategic uncertainty
- Are ready to invest in their internal development
- Want trusted relationships with other high-performing leaders
- Are interested in exploring psilocybin legally and intentionally within a structured container
- Want an intentional break from the demands of leadership

Your facilitators
Skippy Upton Mesirow
Facilitator
Skippy Mesirow is a public-service leader and strategist with more than 20 years of experience spanning presidential campaigns, statewide races, nonprofit leadership, and elected office.
He is the creator of The COURAGE Method™, a whole-human leadership framework that has trained more than 1,000 public leaders nationwide, and the host of the top-10% global Civic Courage Lab Podcast, featuring guests such as Byron Katie, David Allen, and Rick Doblin.
A psychedelic healing retreat in 2019 changed his life as he witnessed these treatments transform—and even save—others. Determined not to wait for federal action, he helped establish the nation's first municipal therapeutic model in Aspen and later served on Colorado's Natural Medicine Advisory Board, shaping the framework SANCTUM now operates under.
At SANCTUM, Skippy focuses on guests seeking leadership development, peak performance, and team optimization. He holds the strategic vision and relational gravity that enable SANCTUM to achieve peak excellence, creating a field of connection, coherence and transformation aligned with the Aspen Idea.
Dr. Dave Rabin
Chief Medical Advisor
Dr. David Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has spent more than two decades studying the biology of stress, trauma, and human resilience.
As the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience and the Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, he is a leading architect of evidence-based psychedelic standards and ethical clinical practice worldwide.
Dr. Rabin turned toward psychedelic medicine after years of watching conventional treatments fall short for those carrying deep trauma — recognizing that these medicines may finally offer the consciousness shift required to move from managing symptoms to achieving true cures.
At SANCTUM, he oversees our medical and safety architecture — including tapering and screening frameworks — and guides our science-based research and continuous learning process. His leadership ensures that every protocol, outcome, and experience is studied, refined, and elevated, keeping SANCTUM at the forefront of safe, effective, and ever-evolving psychedelic-assisted transformation.
Executives are often rewarded for speed, output, and certainty while the deeper questions beneath leadership go unexplored.
We created CLARITY to provide leaders with intentional space to step back from constant execution, examine what truly matters, and reconnect with themselves from a place of greater coherence and perspective.
Psilocybin, in the right setting with the right support, creates conditions where insight, clarity, and meaningful change can emerge more rapidly and honestly than ordinary life typically allows.

Location & accommodation
Aspen Meadows Resort | The Aspen Institute
Lodging takes place at Aspen Meadows, where Aspen was envisioned by Elizabeth and Walter Paepcke in 1946 as a place for the flourishing of mind, body, and spirit. Designed by world-famous architects and futurists to support growth, connection, and transcendence, it has served for more than 75 years as a gathering ground where world leaders step away from noise, think deeply, and build consciously. That legacy mirrors our intention: to strengthen partnerships in an environment created for reflection, integration, and lasting impact.

Getting here
Getting to SANCTUM is simple, with several airport and ground transportation options. The most direct route is flying into Aspen–Pitkin County Airport (ASE), located about 10–15 minutes from both your lodging and our center, and for retreat experiences inclusive of lodging, complimentary transportation to and from ASE is included. Guests may also fly into Denver International Airport (DEN), approximately a 3.5-hour drive, or Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT), approximately a 2.5-hour drive, where rental cars and shuttle services are available at an additional cost. For those arriving by car, Aspen is accessible year-round via Highway 82 and, in summer months, via the scenic Independence Pass. Once you're here, everything is intentionally walkable, supported by free local shuttles, so no vehicle is required during your stay.
