Building the plane while it’s in the air: Developing safe and effective practices in psychedelics by leveraging meditation research
Despite burgeoning research on psychedelics, best practices for their safe and effective use in and out of clinical settings are still poorly understood. Like psychedelics, meditation can involve non- ordinary states and psycho-spiritual impacts and has the potential for adverse effects despite well- recognized benefits. This talk will describe how meditation research can inform key questions in psychedelics, including monitoring adverse effects, addressing spirituality, and developing culturally responsive treatments.
