Ep. 3: The Role of Psychedelics in Healing | Stefana Bosse

Stefana is Co-Director of the UK Psychedelic Society and regularly facilitates the Society’s Psychedelic Experience weekends in the Netherlands. After gaining a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford and a subsequent Masters in International Affairs she previously worked in Human Rights before following her intuition to work with psychedelics. She is also a Holistic Counsellor and a Forrest Yoga teacher. 

In October 2019 I joined Stefana to take part in a legal, ceremonial psychedelic retreat in The Netherlands using psilocybin-truffles.
