    Jonas T. T. Schlomberg — Psychedelics and Meditation: Two Paths to the Same Mountain?

    Guest: Jonas T. T. Schlomberg, PhD researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry Zurich (UZH) Jonas T. T. Schlomberg is a researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry Zurich (UZH). His work explores the intersection between psychedelics, meditation, and consciousness, combining qualitative and computational methods. Trained in neuroscience and phenomenology, he investigates how altered states — whether induced by substances or by contemplative practice — can illuminate the workings of the mind and the nature of experience itself. In his recent study A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Psychedelic-Augmented Meditation Experiences, he and his colleagues compared experiences of DMT or harmine with meditation under placebo within a structured mindfulness retreat — using natural language processing alongside manual qualitative analysis. In this episode, we explore with him: – Two paths to the same mountain: the phenomenological overlap between psychedelic and meditative states, and what their similarities (and differences) tell us about consciousness itself– Language as a bridge to the ineffable: how NLP and AI tools can help science approach experiences that have traditionally been called mystical or inexpressible– Trust and surrender: why meditation tends to evoke "safety" and "calm" while psychedelics evoke "overwhelm" and "insight" — and what this polarity reveals about transformation– From phenomenology to mechanism: the neurobiological and cognitive processes — predictive processing, self-modeling, top-down/bottom-up dynamics — that might underlie this overlap– The ethics and future of integration: how to combine psychedelics with contemplative frameworks in ways that remain rigorous, culturally sensitive, and ethically grounded. Could future retreats see neuroscientists, monks, and psychotherapists co-creating shared protocols? A conversation between neuroscience, phenomenology, and contemplative practice — on what altered states can teach us about the mind, and about being human

    Dr Vincent Liaudat — La vibration comme langage du vivant : musique immersive, psychiatrie et psychédéliques

    Invité: Dr Vincent Liaudat, musicien, psychiatre et psychothérapeute. Vincent Liaudat est psychiatre et psychothérapeute suisse, spécialisé dans les états modifiés de conscience et la médecine psychédélique. Multi-instrumentiste et compositeur, il crée aussi des expériences de musique immersive où neurosciences, art sonore et méditation se rencontrent. À travers ses concerts hypnotiques, il explore la vibration comme langage du vivant, invitant chacun à traverser les couches de la conscience et à retrouver une connexion sensible entre corps, espace et silence. Dans cet épisode, nous explorons avec lui : – Le passage du cabinet psychiatrique à l'espace sonore, et ce que le son ouvre comme voie de soin– Le cadre d'une pratique à la croisée de la science et du ressenti : protocoles, préparation, intégration– Ce que la recherche récente nous dit de la vibration — des canaux mécano-sensibles (PIEZO1, PIEZO2) aux travaux de Kyoto sur l'effet des ondes sonores sur l'activité cellulaire– La frontière entre le poétique, le plausible et le démontré, quand on dit que "le corps entend plus qu'on ne le pense"– Comment tenir la rigueur scientifique face à un mot aussi galvaudé que "vibration"– La spécificité des thérapies assistées par psychédéliques, le rôle de la musique pendant et après l'expérience, et ce que dit de nous ce retour massif vers l'intériorité Une conversation entre psychiatrie, physique et art sonore — pour interroger ce que signifie, aujourd'hui, se soigner par l'écoute.

    InvitéeBettina Ferdmann, co-fondatrice de la Fondation Conscience et Santé Mentale. Coach, entrepreneure et écrivaine, Bettina Ferdmann est l'une des pionnières de la RSE en Suisse.

Dans cet épisode, nous explorons avec elle : – Le fil qui relie la responsabilité d'une entreprise envers la société et celle d'un individu face à sa propre santé mentale– Une médecine de la relation, où médecins, chercheurs et patients co-créent les soins– Le dialogue entre science et sagesses — hypnose, respiration, méditation, rituels traditionnels– L'éthique d'un soin élargi, fondé sur l'empowerment et la dignité– Sa vision d'un projet pionnier qui veut transformer notre rapport collectif à la conscience, au-delà des institutions Une conversation à la croisée de la transformation intérieure et de la transformation sociale.

    The Varieties of Transcendent Experiences

    What actually happens to the self under psychedelics? In this episode, linguist and cognitive scientist PD. Dr. Kurt Stocker introduces a new framework for understanding psychedelic experience—beyond “mystical” or “spiritual” labels. Drawing on placebo-controlled studies with LSD and DMT, he explores how experiences of ego dissolution, transcendence, and interconnectedness are structured, described, and interpreted. We dive into the role of language, the difference between immanent and transcendent states, and a key question: even at the edge of self-loss, is something still there to tell the story? A precise, science-driven look at how psychedelics reshape consciousness and the self—and how we make sense of it.

    Manoj Doss - Memory Under Psychedelics: Encoding, Learning, and the Risk of Illusion

    What happens to memory under psychedelics? In this episode, cognitive neuropsychopharmacologist Manoj Doss breaks down how psychedelics alter memory formation, stabilization, and retrieval. We explore disrupted hippocampal encoding alongside enhanced cortical learning, fear extinction, and reward adaptation—showing how these compounds reshape cognition rather than simply “expand consciousness.” Drawing on behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, and computational models, Manoj explains what makes 5-HT2A psychedelics unique, and why their effects on memory matter for therapy as well as risk—particularly false insight and memory distortion. A clear, science-driven conversation for clinicians, researchers, and curious minds.

    Rick Doblin - MAPS founder - MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD - Phase 3 Decision by FDA - Alps Conference 2023

    Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He founded MAPS in 1986 and is considered the godfather of the current psychedelic renaissance.  Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist.  It’s thanks to his MAPS organization that MDMA is currently at phase 3 trial in the US and will be normally approved by the FDA to treat PTSD patients in 2024.  For more info on Rick Doblin :  MAPS Founder and President Twitter X : @RickDoblin TED Talk : the future of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy This interview was recorded during the Alps Conference 2023 on Psychedelic Science in Geneva, Switzerland in October 2023.  More info on the Alps Conference 2023 - ⁠Website⁠ - ⁠Twitter⁠ - ⁠Facebook⁠ - ⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠Youtube
