Psychedelics & the Future of Human Consciousness (pt 3) with Skippy Mesirow
About this Event
Psychedelics are rapidly moving from the fringe of society into the center of modern conversations around healing, leadership, consciousness, performance, spirituality, and human transformation. This four-part series explores where these medicines come from, what science is teaching us, how the legal landscape is evolving, and why many believe psychedelics may play an important role in the future of human flourishing. Designed to be evidence based, experiential, and accessible to both the naive and experienced, this series helps participants build a clear, nuanced understanding of one of the most important cultural shifts of our time.
PART THREE - July 8th, 2026 | 6:00-7:30pm
Policy: The Legal Landscape of Psychedelics in Colorado + Beyond
As laws rapidly evolve across Colorado and the United States, confusion around what is legal, regulated, decriminalized, therapeutic, or prohibited remains widespread. This session provides a grounded overview of the Natural Medicine Health Act, Colorado’s emerging legal framework, state and federal tensions, ethical considerations, and the practical realities of participating in psychedelic work safely, responsibly, and legally in this new era of access.
PART FOUR - July 15th, 2026 | 6:00-7:30pm
As interest in psychedelics expands beyond clinical healing, new conversations and research are emerging around leadership, creativity, relationships, performance, spirituality, pro-sociality, and collective transformation. This session explores how psychedelics when paired with coaching, and intentional community design may support greater self-awareness, courage, connection, and human flourishing — and what role these tools could play in shaping the future of leadership, culture, environmentalism, and society itself.

“My exploration of consciousness, including through legal therapeutic psychedelic work, continues to inform how I invest, partner, and support initiatives focused on human flourishing and societal resilience at scale.”
: CEO @ Delahunt Healthcare Capital, frm. Goldman Sachs VP Healthcare
"In my SANCTUM experience, I was able to contextualize the source of my family upbringing-derived PTSD, and find more peace, flow, and harmony in my life. I’m now channeling that peace to raise tens of millions for companies revolutionizing healthcare and wellbeing.”
: Orthopedic Surgeon & Co-Founder of Two Healthcare Companies.
“As an orthopedic surgeon, I was skeptical about psychedelics. Through a combination of guided work and the COURAGE METHOD, I finally understand the roots of my codependency and people-pleasing. With that, I see my patterns for what they are and am working to stop repeating them. I’m now owning what is mine - rebuilding myself and my orthopedic practice with more balance, and incorporating wellness to help patients expand lifespan and healthspan.”
: Speaker of Hope | Founder, Break Your Neck 5K
“Through the SIGNATURE program faced hard truths - forgiving myself for my alcoholism, rebuilding the relationship with my father, and becoming the father I was always meant to be, building what I now call my Undefeatable Framework—faith, family, and purpose. I used my rediscovered strength to launch the Break Your Neck 5K, raising over $75,000 for spinal cord injury research and a nursing scholarship.”
