PAC Book Club: The Bigger Picture (Author Alexander Biener in attendance)
Can psychedelic drugs help us tackle the biggest problems we face globally? Can they heal the cultural, spiritual, and political wounds we’re wrestling with?
Psychedelics have hit the mainstream as powerful new mental health treatments. But as clinicians explore what these molecules can do for our individual minds, The Bigger Picture goes further to illuminate how psychedelics can help us find new ways to make sense of and come through the crises we face around the world.
Drawing on the latest research, as well as his unique experience as a participant in a ground-breaking clinical trial investigating the potent psychedelic DMT, Alexander Beiner reveals:
- the role of psychedelics in addressing global issues such as global warming, geopolitical instability, and political polarization
- the dark side of the ‘psychedelic renaissance’ and ‘psychedelic capitalism’
- what it takes to elicit huge personal and cultural transformation through psychedelics
Embark on a journey into The Bigger Picture – a new era of science and spirituality with the potential to radically transform our perceptions of ourselves, one another, and our life on this planet.

When Wise Interventions are Required in Medicine Spaces (To Intervene or Not?)
Ninety percent of our communication is non-verbal, communicated through the eyes, voice, facial and bodily gestures. From the moment we are born we are communicating our internal cues to our caregivers and we need them to attune to those cues to ensure that we not only survive, but flourish. As developing humans, when we are not consistently cared for or appropriately responded to, when misattuned to or neglected, we can suffer relational and development trauma. These developmental gaps and severed neural connections can lead to living in pain, disconnection and chaos.
To flourish as humans we need others to co-regulate, co-reflect and to grow brains with –we need this on an ongoing basis for life. It is the same in the psychedelic space - we need others to get our cues and to come into relationship with us when we have dropped into developmental gaps, dissociation, terror and places of thwarted growth. How do we as practitioners intervene wisely during a medicine session? This is a relational art form.
Rita Bozi will share of her years of clinical experience within medicine spaces and what it means to facilitate with mutuality, reciprocity and nuanced attunement.
