“Many people are being harmed at ibogaine and psychedelic retreats abroad, and most of them go through it alone. I was recently featured in a The New York Times reporting on these harms.

I often write and speak about soul, spirituality, and love, and at first it felt odd to put my story out there in such a widely read publication. I have come to understand that love also includes speaking up about harm, engaging our communities to make change, and educating and protecting others. Love requires us to take action when we feel the call.

I did not take this lightly. It was scary to share my story, especially in a field, psychedelic therapy, that I had previously made a central focus of my work. Speaking up has also given me a taste of what whistleblowers go through when they bring stories of harm to light. While I still believe psychedelics can be tremendous tools for healing, the landscape has changed significantly over the past decade, and real caution and discernment are needed when choosing guides and providers.

While the article was being prepared, the number of people who reached out to me about experiencing harm at the same ibogaine centers in Mexico was astounding, yet not surprising. Guidelines or policies alone can’t solve the issues behind this harm, especially since these clinics operate outside the U.S.

Much of the harm is caused by narcissistic and exploitative personalities running these clinics and retreat centers: individuals seeking power and dominance under the guise of healing and goodness. That is a dangerous combination when it meets vulnerable people who are seeking help and healing from abuse in the first place.

Be discerning out there, especially when it comes to your consciousness and mental health. Use your voice when your soul asks you to. More on narcissism and psychedelics coming soon.”

“Dr. Will Siu’s Involvement:
Dr. Siu, who trains and educates clinicians working with psychedelics, actually visited one of these prominent ibogaine clinics (Beond in Mexico) as a patient. In the article, he flags several practices he witnessed that would be considered highly unethical under U.S. medical standards—such as a vulnerable patient being interviewed for marketing by the clinic's co-founder immediately after a heavy ibogaine session.”

Santa Fe New Mexico; November 20, 21, & 22.

“As the last of autumn gives way to winter, we arrive at the deepest point of the year's descent, the final degrees of Scorpio, where what has been buried through the dark half finally comes into view. On the closing morning of this retreat the Sun crosses into Sagittarius and the first fire of the cold season is lit. This turning invites us into a deeper relationship with both depth and direction: what must be met in the darkness, and what we are meant to carry back out of it.”

A three day ayahuasca retreat in the mountains near Santa Fe, New Mexico. November 20 to 22, 2026. Shipibo tradition, integration support, sliding scale.

“Sarko Gergerian is a mental-health counselor, psychotherapist, and longtime law-enforcement professional who has worked at the intersection of trauma, policing, harm reduction, and psychedelic-assisted healing. His work brings an important perspective to communities that are often left out of conversations about psychedelic care, including police officers and first responders.

Sarko was also recently featured on The Joe Rogan Experience. You can watch Sarko’s appearance here: https://youtu.be/Eq4y2vh8TD8?is=tTIEtcFC8LMNpoSB

What excites me most about having Sarko help lead the program is the perspective he brings to the complexity of this work. The field needs more than people who know about psychedelics. It needs facilitators who can work thoughtfully with trauma, ethics, power, different communities, and the rapidly changing realities of psychedelic care.

That’s what we’re continuing to build into the SoundMind training.

Join Our Free Live Webinar on September 29th.

Patients and facilitators ask us the same questions: When is the right time for one medicine rather than another? Where do you start? And what actually makes one category of psychedelics different from another?

On September 29th, I’m joining Sarko Gergerian for a live conversation about those questions. We’ll walk through the major categories of psychedelics and compare how the experiences can differ.

Sarko will share from his experience with M**A and psilocybin in legal settings, and I’ll draw from my work with ketamine and huachuma. Our goal is to give patients, clinicians, and facilitators a more concrete way to understand the differences and think about where to begin.

Johanna Varley will also bless us with some meditative, gong-filled sound healing during the session.

We will close the evening by discussing the SoundMind Psychedelic Facilitator Training program and opening the floor for questions.”
