About this event

Microdosing has entered the mainstream conversation — but most of what's written about it is either uncritically enthusiastic or reflexively dismissive. This workshop cuts through the noise to look at what the evidence actually shows about sub-perceptual psychedelic use.

In a small, confidential group setting, we'll cover the key research on microdosing psilocybin — including the most widely used protocols, the populations who tend to benefit, and the potential risks and contraindications that are rarely discussed in popular media. We'll also talk about the legal landscape in Colorado and what responsible exploration looks like from a harm-reduction perspective.

This workshop is educational in nature. SANCTUM does not provide substances or direct participants toward illegal activity. Our goal is to help you make genuinely informed decisions about your own health and healing path — whatever that looks like.

Speaker

Skippy Mesirow is the former Mayor of Aspen, Colorado and a founding partner of SANCTUM Aspen. A nationally recognized psychedelic policy advocate, he spearheaded the successful passage of Colorado's Proposition 122 — the Natural Medicine Health Act — which legalized supervised psilocybin services statewide.

Drawing on his decade in elected office, his background in mental health advocacy, and his work building SANCTUM, Skippy speaks with clarity and conviction about the science, history, and future of psychedelic healing. His talks are grounded in evidence and shaped by the stories of real people whose lives have been transformed.
