What if the most powerful medicine is a shift in perspective? Psychedelic research is teaching us that personal transformation happens when we dissolve the boundaries of the self and reconnect with our fundamental interconnectedness.

Amanda's promise to Albert Hofmann –a brief clip from a recent conversation between Amanda Feilding and Hans Ulrich Obrist. In this short excerpt, Amanda recounts a personal exchange with the godfather of #LSD and the commitment that continues to inform her work today.

From our research archives: a 2020 collaboration with Maastricht University examined how low doses of #LSD affect pain perception, providing valuable insights into the growing field of psychedelic medicine. beckleyfoundation.org/can-lsd-microd…

Reflecting on our Beckley/Imperial collaboration on DMT's neural correlates has us curious: as the research community continues to make remarkable discoveries, which other #DMT research findings across the field have fascinated you most? beckleyfoundation.org/ayahuascadmt

"This is about a smoking study, I keep forgetting that. Because there’s so much more that happened… [Smoking] just seems so petty compared to some of the stuff that was happening." Reports of awe and curiosity from smoking cessation study participants journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

A new pilot study assessing the feasibility of #psilocybin therapy for treating Parkinson's has some compelling findings, with psilocybin not only improving mood and reducing anxiety, but also improving Parkinson's symptomology. ttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-025-02097-0

Psychedelics and creativity stories: computer programmer Dennis Wier attributed his usage of LSD to his success with a complex programming project. He felt the #LSD allowed him to conceive of the whole system he was working on at the same time. maps.org/news-letters/v…

🌿 In the sage words of Albert Hofmann, take a moment to "Go to the meadow, go to the garden, go to the woods. Open your eyes!" #earthday #biophilia #natureconnection #psychedelics

✨ Calling All Psychedelic Voyagers Research colleagues at the University of Greenwich are exploring the relationship between intentions and psychedelic experiences—an important but understudied area. More details on the 20-minute survey here: greenwichuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3D…

✨ Amanda Feilding reflects on how altered states helped to shape the very foundations of human culture 🌀 Accompanied by twilight birdsong from Beckley Park 🐦‍⬛🐦‍🔥🍃🎶 What ancient practices do you believe most powerfully shaped who we are today? #psychedelicresearch

In 2014, researchers gave healthy volunteers infusions of placebo and psilocybin - the main psychoactive component in magic mushrooms, revealing how psychedelics can induce a profound shift in brain connectivity patterns. Paper: Homological scaffolds of brain functional networks

It's been 72 years this May since Aldous Huxley had his first mescaline trip. While not as overtly psychedelic as The Doors of Perception, Huxley's last novel Island explored how we can integrate what we learn from non-ordinary states into our lives. #psychedelicliterature

Some of the most fascinating psychedelic research takes place within a controlled medical setting. Have you ever had a profound shift in consciousness or mystical experience in an unusual or unexpected location? What made that setting conducive to the experience?

Dear friends, Amanda Feilding has written to all of you, announcing her retirement from the Beckley Foundation. You can read the full letter here: beckleyfoundation.org/2025/05/12/a-m…

The woman who singlehandedly corrected my position on psychedelics. When wrong, I try to admit it. Not always successfully. I was totally wrong on psychedelics. I'd simply been propogandized. Thanks for all you and Beckley have done. [Personal things, will be said privately.]

The Beckley Foundation's psychedelic research collaboration with King’s College London aims to produce the highest quality images of the human brain under the influence of LSD to date, focusing on the neurobiology underlying the mystical experience. beckleyfoundation.org/lsd-the-mystic…

In ordinary waking states, the brain operates through hierarchical systems, with the Default Mode Network acting as a central coordinator. Psychedelic mushrooms may create a more "fungal" state of consciousness, shifting toward a more decentralized, interconnected pattern. 🍄✨

Dear Friends, Amanda passed away at her home, Beckley Park, on the evening of Thursday, 22nd May 2025 (more precisely, and rather magically, at 20:25 22.05.2025). Read our full message here: beckleyfoundation.org/2025/05/27/ama…

The Beckley Foundation and Amanda's family are deeply grateful for your beautiful messages. Amanda believed in the power of education to shift perspectives and reduce stigma, and we will continue to update you on Beckley's ongoing projects & developments in psychedelic research.
