MANESH GIRN, PhD.
Psychedelic Neuroscientist, UCSF | Science Educator, The Psychedelic Scientist | Chief Research Officer, EntheoTech Bioscience
Dr. Manesh Girn is a postdoctoral neuroscientist working at the University of California, San Francisco. He works alongside psychedelic research pioneer Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, where he conducts research on the neural mechanisms underlying the psychedelic experience and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. He has been lead or co-author of over 20 peer-reviewed scientific publications to date on psychedelics, brain networks, and related topics. In addition to his research, Manesh runs a popular digital platform on Instagram and YouTube called "The Psychedelic Scientist”, where he shares the latest findings in psychedelic science in a digestible and easy to understand way. Finally, Manesh serves as the Chief Research Officer at EntheoTech Bioscience, a pioneering Canadian bioscience company focused on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and multidisciplinary mental health solutions.

MELANIE PINCUS, PhD.
Neuroscientist | Psychedelic Researcher | Designer of Play-Based Experiences | Founder of Sycopy Design Lab
Dr. Melanie Blair Pincus is a neuroscientist, artist, and educator with a passion for crafting experiences that catalyze self-discovery and transformation. Melanie became interested in modalities that spur personal growth and rewire the brain during her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Emory University, where she studied the legacy of early life stress on the developing brain. She is compelled by both play and non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC) as powerful tools that promote flexible brain states for healing and flourishing. In her roles as Chief Scientific Officer for two psychedelic startups, she has designed multi-omics psilocybin research programs with botanical mushrooms to explore the potential of NOSC for personal growth. Melanie’s new venture, Syncopy Design Lab, is an experience design studio creating experiences that facilitate deeper states of connectedness to self, community, and the natural world. The Lab weaves together transformative principles, biosensing technology, neuroaesthetic design, play, and NOSC to offer impactful art installations, workshops and retreats.

How Can Psychedelics Catalyze Your Practice?
-
Breakthroughs in Treating Mental and Physical Health
Recent research into psychedelic substances has paved new pathways for mental health treatment, challenging traditional approaches. Studies indicate that psychedelics such as psilocybin and MDMA can be highly effective in patients with depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions - including in so-called treatment resistant patients. The promise of these treatments lies in their ability to produce rapid and lasting improvements in mental health from only 1-3 psychedelic sessions, in a manner that appears to be curative rather than simply symptom alleviating. These treatments not only enhance mental health, but emerging evidence also suggests they contribute to physical well-being through their influences on the immune system and gut microbiome, underscoring how these substances embody a holistic approach to healing and wellness.

Enhancing Neuroplasticity and Reducing Inflammation
Psychedelics have shown remarkable effects on the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections, a process known as neuroplasticity. This enhanced plasticity can lead to improvements in cognitive flexibility, allowing individuals to break out of rigid thought patterns associated with disorders like depression and OCD. By facilitating a reset of neural circuits, psychedelics offer a unique tool for harnessing the brain's intrinsic capacity to heal and adapt.
Psychedelics also exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects, which may aid in the relief of acute symptoms and support the maintenance of new neural connections, enhancing the brain's ability to manage pain and promote well-being. An education in the science of psychedelics equips practitioners and their clients with the knowledge to harness these profound shifts in mind and body effectively, enabling a more informed approach to both treatment and self-care.

Transformative Potential
Psychedelics induce unique and potent alterations to consciousness, spanning our perception, thinking, emotion, and sense of self. With proper preparation and support, these alterations can facilitate profound mystical experiences of interconnectedness, psychological insights, and deep emotional catharsis, among other things. Scientific research is beginning to explore the nature and mechanisms of these experiences and their potential for personal transformation and healing.
