Today, July 12, we honor the legacy of Claudio Naranjo, a pioneer in transpersonal psychology and spirituality. His work with the Enneagram and Gestalt therapy has transformed countless lives, guiding us toward deeper self-awareness and authentic connection. We are so honored to be able to continue his teachings and legacy through publishing his works in English, which include: 🌌 The Healing Journey: Pioneering Approaches to Psychedelic Therapy - takes an in-depth look at the spiritual and psychotherapeutic potential of the amphetamine derivatives MDA and MMDA, harmaline (the active compound in ayahuasca), and ibogaine. 🌌 Dionysian Buddhism: Guided Interpersonal Meditations in the Three Yanas - a sequence of guided interpersonal meditations that will assist readers in exploring their own emotional landscapes. 🌌 The Revolution We Expected: Cultivating a New Politics of Consciousness - presents a map that argues not only for collective individual awakening but a concerted effort to transform our institutions so that our educational and cultural lessons are in service to a better world.

Gather with us for a free, virtual launch event celebrating the release of the long-awaited Women and Psychedelics: Uncovering Invisible Voices on August 13, 2024, from 6:00-7:30 P.M. PST. Join historian and co-editor of Women and Psych-delics, Erika Dyck in conversation with Belinda Eriacho, Mikaela de la Myco, and Maria Mangini in highlighting some of the seminal women who have shaped, and continue to shape, the psych-delic landscape. This intimate, intergenerational conversation will explore the roles women have played in care work, from ritual rites of passage in the transpersonal domains of birth and death to the vital role that elders play in the psych-delic community. We will also examine how traditional gender norms have shaped the way psychedelics are perceived and utilized, using intersectional frameworks to explore how we can collectively create a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
