“It has long been my goal to reintegrate psychedelic compounds into society as the remarkable medicines and drivers of cultural progress that they are. They provide hope for the treatment of many intractable psychological and neurological conditions, but also represent a unique tool for enhancing wellbeing, vitality, and interconnectedness. It is a lovely surprise to receive this recognition for my exploratory work in psychedelic research” – Amanda Feilding
