Psychedelics, the Body, and the Mind-Body Connection

Learn about the intersection of psychedelics, physical therapy, pain, chronic illness and more with our panel of psychedelic-informed body workers and mind-body experts.

Subjects this presentation will explore include:

• How psychological barriers can impact physical recovery and movement
• Cultural perspectives on pain and healing, drawing from experiences with the Tarahumara runners and Sonoran communities
• Why some atheltes with significant imaging findings can remain pain-free
• The mind-body connection and psychedelic therapies with chronic illness, mold illness, Lyme, autoimmunity, dysautonomia, and more
• How Centered Yoga prioritizes nervous system resilience as a form of psychedelic integration
• How psychedelic experiences can shift our relationship with our bodies

The speakers:

• Tim Evens, a physical therapist specializing in sports medicine and chronic pain, draws from both clinical experience and personal insights from ultra-distance running. Tim will explore how psychedelics can support a more holistic approach to physical recovery and pain management.
• Derek Greene, a physical therapist, explores how image findings and diagnoses don’t necessarily correlate with pain severity and how psychedelics can break vicious neurological patterns.
• Valerie Brodbeck is a therapist who works with clients with chronic illness to teach them how to repattern negative neuroplastic disorders that promote symptoms.
• Brandy Berlin is a Centered Yoga and Ayurvedic practitioner who teaches a style of yoga as a form of psychedelic integration to promote nervous system resilience and calm.
