Frontier Integrated Psychedelic Assisted Healing

02/16/2026

Excited to share that the bestie and I have been selected as Faculty Fellows for the University Psychedelic Education Program (UPEP). 🎉

We’ll be collaborating with leading universities across the country to advance ethical, evidence-informed psychedelic education and research.

This work sits at the intersection of research, policy, clinical care, and social work and we’re especially committed to ensuring Indigenous considerations, community accountability, and responsible implementation remain central as this field evolves.

At the same time, Oklahoma has introduced HB 3834, legislation related to ibogaine research and implementation.

Meaningful progress will require collaboration between universities, the VA, medical schools, and Schools of Social Work.

The field is moving.
And we have an opportunity to shape it thoughtfully.

Grateful. Grounded. Ready.

The boys are fighting again.

Everything is political.

Focus on justice & humanity.

Where does your state stand on psychedelics?

01/22/2026

I just returned from Washington, DC, where I had the privilege of attending a social work research conference. I centered my focus on the future of psychedelic science and the timing couldn’t have been more powerful.

I stood at the MLK Parade, honoring a legacy that reminds us that justice, courage, and collective action are not optional, they’re required and silence isn’t an option.

I connected with researchers, clinicians, and scholars who have helped shape the academic psychedelic space over the past 20+ years. These are people doing the slow, rigorous, ethical work.

I can’t explain the feeling of walking into a room and the speaker read my name tag and said she had heard so much about me and was hoping our paths would cross 🪐

Social workers are everywhere in this movement. We are advocating at the policy level, grounding the science in ethics, centering communities, and pushing for access that doesn’t replicate the same systems of harm.

Psychedelic work is not just about molecules, it’s about people, power, history, and healing. 🪬🌬️🪶⚖️🪷

There is real momentum right now. Government buy-in. Public funding. Serious conversations happening in rooms that used to be closed.

Social workers belong in those rooms. This is what macro practice looks like. This is what evidence-based advocacy looks like. This is what it means to carry forward MLK’s call for justice into modern healing spaces.

The work continues rooted in research, guided by ethics, and driven by the belief that healing is both personal and political. 🤍✨🤘🏼

✨ Closing the chapter on this year with gratitude and truth. ✨

This year stretched me. It asked for courage where I once chose comfort, honesty when silence felt safer, and trust when the path ahead wasn’t clear 🪷

I learned that growth doesn’t always sparkle. Sometimes it looks like staying, beginning again, or choosing yourself even when it’s uncomfortable🤍

I showed up for my work, my people, and my purpose in ways I once only imagined. I honored grief without letting it define me. I took risks. I softened. I stood firm. I recognized when I was playing small🪬

As I step into the new year, I claim clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection to what matters most. I’m moving forward with intention, curiosity, and faith in the unfolding 🕊️

Here’s to becoming. Not perfect, not fearless but real 🤘🏼

Cheers to 2026 🥂

The medicine is a tool. What you do with it is up to you individually. Integration is key to preparing to sit with medicine and applying what you’ve learned in your day to day life. Educating and preparing facilitators and practitioners for this work is ethical responsibility.

"At its core, I think preparation is about trust. Not blind optimism that things will go well, but something deeper: a trust that you can be with whatever arises."

Dr. Rosalind McAlpine, psychedelic researcher and co-developer of the Psychedelic Preparedness Scale

Last night I, along with 20 of my peers, had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Raison about the science and the future of this work ✨

I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings 🪬

"I have lived through three hype cycles in my life: meditation, inflammation, and psychedelics. Psychedelics are the greatest hype cycle I ever saw..."

Liberty and justice for all 🗽⚖️🌬️🪶🪬✨

There is significant tumult not only across U.S. politics and the regulatory apparatus, but also within the psychedelics field itself, which does not appear to have landed on a clear or coordinated ‘ask’. But beneath the noise, there appeared to be a quiet confidence among some that multiple FDA approvals of psychedelics are close at hand, with as many as three possible over the next 18 months.

Here, our Editor Josh Hardman shares the gist of what he learned in D.C., a couple of policy tweaks or clarifications that I have been mulling over, and other observations on how psychedelics are viewed in the nation’s capital.

I’ll be in Washington, DC soon and would love to connect with individuals and groups doing meaningful work in psychedelic research, policy, and Indigenous-informed healing.

Who should I add to my list to be engaging with while I’m there?

Open to recommendations for conversations that could shape the future of this work.

Grateful for any connections or guidance. 🌿✨
