Research

With clinical studies like the concluded phase-II EPIsoDE trial and the upcoming phase-III DiMension trial, as well as surveys such as our acceptance study, we investigate the potentials and risks of psychedelic therapies. We use rigorous methodologies to inform the scientific discourse on psychedelics and contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting their therapeutic benefits.

Training & Personal Development

Our programs address everyone – from medical professionals and psychotherapists to people with a personal interest in altered states of consciousness and psychedelics. The APT program is a professional training in psychedelic therapy – available in English and German. The integration workshops Beyond Experience and Footsteps are open to the general public. Our academic journal club uniMIND connects young and senior researchers all over the world, while our blog is a reliable resource of information related to psychedelics.

Ecosystem

Through our network, we build an ecosystem that revolves around clinical work, research, human development, and community building. Our clinical partner, OVID Clinic Berlin, sets new standards for innovative mental health treatments. Through memberships and the MIND Community, as well as through in-person event series like the INSIGHT Forum, we create cultural momentum.

Augmented Psychotherapy Training

One of the key challenges concerning the implementation of psychedelic therapies in health care lies in the lack of qualified and trained therapists to facilitate these novel treatment modalities.

The Augmented Psychotherapy Training (APT) is a 15-month program that provides health professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to practice psychedelic therapy in a legal, safe, and evidence-based framework.

INSIGHT Forum

To harness the potential of altered states of consciousness for human development, we need to create a new, responsible culture. The INSIGHT Forum opened its doors in February 2024. Here we critically explore the science and the practice of consciousness from a variety of perspectives - the medical, philosophical, societal, economic, and many more to inform our discourse. Ultimately, we strive for a responsible enculturation of psychedelic states into medicine and society, much in the way the German philosopher Thomas Metzinger describes with his concept of a Bewusstseinskultur (an ethical culture of consciousness).

In practical terms, the INSIGHT Forum is an event series that lends itself to this goal. Each event consists of three parts: the Rationale as critical, intellectual discourse, the Transrationale as an experiental practice such as meditation, and Communitas as a networking space. Through this combination of activities, we strive to build a new cultural context.

Get Involved

Around the core MIND Foundation exists a flourishing, multilayered network that invites you to join and participate. 

The MIND Members Association offers memberships in MIND's supportive, professional association in order to facilitate MIND's goals and mission. With members in over 48 countries across the globe, our Members Association offers many activities and contents that are accessible online. The main public space to join the network is our MIND Community Platform.

To get involved in the offline world, we have built a global network of journal clubs that are interdisciplinary and discuss academic publications in the field of psychedelic science. If you are interested in more informal local communities that focus on personal and human development, psychedelic integration, and social life, you are cordially invited to participate in or organize your own localMIND group.

There are more ways to get involved, for example through an internship, volunteering, donating or fundraising at MIND - do not hesitate to get in touch!
