What members do

We organize in committees with volunteers and a few employed colleagues. Many of us are experts in one or more fields of practice or research closely related to psychedelic science: We publish. We write grant applications.
We train psychotherapists, prevention workforce and researchers. Bridging the gap between the ivory tower and social practice is our goal.
Transdisciplinarity is our unique feature. In speaking to the press and TV we try to change wrong and misinformed images of the psychedelic experience. Our current challenge is fundraising.

  • Science committee

    Discuss, write grants and papers, find supervisors or study participants. Network.

  • Therapy & Development committee

    Develop new approaches for depression, trauma, alcoholism and other hard to treat diagnoses. Build ASC trainings and meet colleagues for case reflexion.

  • Prevention and Harm Reduction Committee

    Develop, practice and evaluate the Integration Circle Series, train and practice harm reduction at festivals and other contexts.

  • Internal committees

    Public Relations, CI, Technical, Ethics, Members or Fundraising Committee. Get websites, facebook, twitter and YouTube going. Work with volunteers, interns and employed staff.

I think, that time is ripe for a new handling of altered states of consciousness and psychoactive substances: based on research and common sense – not on taboos, anxiety and horror stories.

Dr. med. Andrea ZeuchFounding Member and MIND board member

I support Psychedelic Science, because it will contribute to better understanding psychedelic experience and utilizing its potential sustainably for individuals and society

Helena Aicher, StudentCo-founding Member and Coordinator

I support MIND, because it is time to question boundaries that block a new handling of maladies. Adequate and cutting-edge reserach is needed with approved scientific methods.

Dr. med. K.-J. Theine, Psychiater and PsychotherapistCo-founding Member

This research helps to relieve suffering, facilitates the development of new therapies and allows for precious explorations into the fabric of life.

Dr. Henrik JungaberleFounder and Head of the MIND Board

I Support MIND, because societal change can only develop by contextualization, examination and scrutinizing of social norms.

Vera Sloof, M.A. Social SciencesCo-founding Member

I support MIND, because researchers and therapists should be able to explore new forms of therapy – without being stigmatized.
