Livestreamed February 22, 2021
In this Live Panel, Lorna Liana hosts a discussion with Shelby Hartman of DoubleBlind, Anya Oleksiuk of Psychedelic Society UK, Mike Margolies of Psychedelic Seminars, and Mareesa Stertz of Lucid News about the unique ethical challenges of documenting and portraying the ongoing Psychedelic Renaissance.

More about this Live Panel:
How do we talk about plant spirit healing & psychedelic medicine in a grounded, evidence-based way that integrates scientific research, ancient wisdom, and shamanic states of consciousness?
How do we accurately portray what's going on behind the scenes of the expansion of psychedelic and plant medicine, while objectively representing all stakeholders, including ceremony facilitators and participants, indigenous communities, researchers, clinicians, and healing organizations, governmental and regulatory bodies, and companies racing to create psychedelic-based medications?
In this 90-minute panel discussion with psychedelic luminaries at the forefront of the Psychedelic Renaissance movement, discover what it takes to navigate hype, misinformation, unsubstantiated beliefs, bad science, pseudoscience, and anecdotal evidence in the quest for journalistic integrity at the intersection of science and shamanism.
