Pathways to Healing Pathways To Healing

Dr. Dominique Morisano is a true rock star in the field of psychedelic assisted therapy. She's a clinical psychologist, researcher and recently co-founded a large conference - From Research to Reality, a global summit focused on moving psychedelics from research to policy and practice. Dominique explains how she's using ketamine assisted therapy in her practice and seeing remarkable outcomes. She also leaves us with a refreshing outlook for the future of mental health.

Sharon knows alot about meditation. She was one of the first to bring meditation and mindfulness to North America over 40 years ago. In our conversation, we discuss how to start a meditation practice, the importance of community and practical strategies to improve self love and use anger for good.

Dr. Michael Verbora has been a patient advocate throughout his medical training and in his career. He loves pushing the boundaries and working outside the status quo. He got into the field of cannabinoid therapy when it was first emerging and he's now the Medical Director at Field Trip Health, one of the fast growing ketamine clinics across North American and the Netherlands. We take a deep dive into the therapeutic use of cannabis and ketamine, discuss the benefits and the risks and talk specifically about how to avoid the negative side effects of cannabis.

Dennis Mckenna has been conducting research in ethnopharmacology for over 40 years in places like the Amazon so it's no surprise he is one of the most interesting people to have a conversation with. We ask Dennis to explain what's happening in our brains when we take psychedelics and how they can heal mental health wounds. We also touch on his documentary film project - Biognosis, reminisce about pre-covid ayahuasca retreats in Peru and discuss how important it is to stay curious throughout our life.
