✨ Join us this Friday at 9 AM PST for Psychеdеliс Revelations — our live community podcast where meaningful dialogue, cultural accountability, and collective healing come together.

This week, TFA’s Dana Harvey and Wendy Perkins welcome Iva Totomanova, a PhD candidate at Maastricht University, for a compelling conversation on the emerging science of micrоdоsing and its implications for mental health. Iva’s research sits at the forefront of understanding how very small doses of psychеdеliсs may support psychiatric well-being, with a special focus on ADHD and neurodivergent populations.

Together, they will explore:

🌿 What micrоdоsing truly is — and what constitutes a micrоdоse
🌿 Inter-individual differences that shape how people respond to micrоdоsing
🌿 Preliminary findings from ongoing psilоcуbin micrоdоsing research
🌿 The therapeutic potential of micrоdоsing for ADHD and insights from an upcoming clinical trial
🌿 Early data from survey studies examining how neurodivergent individuals experience micrоdоsing

They will explore:

🌿 The challenges the psychеdеliс industry faces with ethnic representation
🌿 How to respectfully honour and integrate Indigenous lineages
🌿 Pathways for companies to refine policies around the sale and use of psychеdеliс products

Galungan has opened something profound in me. It is the Balinese celebration of dharma rising over adharma, harmony rebalanced after life’s inevitable chaos. For ten days the ancestors return to visit their families, blessings fill the temples, and devotion becomes the rhythm of the island. Tomorrow is Kuningan, when this sacred 10 day window gently closes.

Living in a local neighbourhood during this time has been an honour. Friends have invited us into their rituals, explained the layers of meaning behind each offering, and welcomed us into moments that families don’t usually share with outsiders.

My dreams have been vivid and alive, carrying messages from my parents who have both passed. This sacred time here has softened the veil, making the unseen more reachable…when I slow down to listen.

This experience mirrors the work I do every day. Choosing dharma is an inner practice. Sound, plant medicines, integration, ritual… all of it helps us slow down, turn inward, return to clarity and alignment, and the remember parts of ourselves that are often forgotten.

I’m so grateful for my return to Bali where I spent so much time in my earlier years when I lived in Thailand. I’m so grateful for the beautiful souls here who live their devotion with such grace and welcome me wholeheartedly in.

Travel expands the spirit.

Have you ever visited a place that awakened something inside you?

🌿The psychological, physical, and spiritual dynamics of a psychеdеliс-induced spiritual emergency
🌿Factors that increase the likelihood of a spiritual emergency and how to prepare for plant medicine journeys
🌿Essential steps to ground yourself and begin integration during a spiritual emergency

Hi friends! This is Dana Harvey, Gathering Groups’ lead facilitator and founder of The Flourish Academy.

Over the years, I have learned that what happens before and after a psуchеdеliс experience can be just as important as the journey itself.

Preparation opens the door to safety, clarity, and intention.

Integration allows the insights to take root to truly transform how we live, relate, and show up in the world.

Tomorrow, Monday, November 10th, at 6:30 pm PST, I’ll be hosting a free online masterclass with Gathering Groups on Psуchеdеliс Preparation and Integration.

I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned through my personal work with рsilоcуbin and my professional experience guiding others through large-dose journeys — including what helps people feel grounded, supported, and ready to integrate their experiences with care.

We will be meeting on Zoom. Bring your questions, reflections, and an open heart.
