Psychedelic Science 2023 – Full Conference Review
In June I attended the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. We were told this was the largest psychedelic-related gathering in the history of the planet, attracting about 12,000 attendees and 500 speakers. In this post I’ll share about my experiences and insights from the conference.
Here’s a pic from inside the Bellco Theater where the main keynotes were held.
The Colorado Convention Center is sizable, and sessions were spread across many different rooms. Even though I didn’t do extra exercise on this trip, I was typically hitting about 1000 calories ...

Radiance Wellness & Music Festival
On Saturday Rachelle and I are attending the Radiance Wellness & Music Festival at AREA15 (near the Vegas Strip). So we’ll be having a day of meditation, spiritual workshops, mindfulness, mantras, breathwork, sound baths, live music, and dancing from about 8am till midnight.
Area15 is a very unusual spot in the city, and I’ve been wanting to check it out for a while, so I’m happy to be finally going there to see what it’s like inside. It’s easy to overlook the many experiences that can be had in one’s own city. (Source: Steve Pavlina's Personal Development Blog)

Cath lab nightmares : Beware, this one has no simple cure !
Cath lab nightmares may be a cliche word for all of us. Still, It has become a mandatory topic in any cardiology conferences and live workshops. These sessions are always popular and crowded as Interventional cardiologists are eager to get tips from other experts, on what to and what not to do in the cath lab in crisis situations. While stuck in an unexpected problem, these tips really help us come out of this, with shared expertise, presence of mind, skills, innovation, etc.

Harnessing the Power of Reframing to Enhance Your Personal Growth
In my personal growth journey, I frequently use a transformative tool known as reframing. Reframing is the process of shifting our perspectives (or frames) to better understand and navigate our experiences. This tool is transformative because our framing directly impacts how we perceive situations, make decisions, and ultimately, shape our lives. It’s not just about changing how we view things; it’s about changing the outcomes we can achieve.
Testing Different Frames
A fascinating way to explore the power of reframing is by testing new perspectives where they diverge from our existing ones. We can think o...

My Special Advantage in Using ChatGPT
What if an AI got to know you really well? Suppose it gained access to tons of data about your past, your personality, your values, your life story, what drives you, etc. Suppose it even came to know you intimately – by building a rich and detailed profile of you (not like Data and Tasha in “The Naked Now” but more like Picard and Sarek mind-melding in “Sarek”).
And suppose this was a friendly and supportive AI, happy to use its knowledge of you to help you in whatever way it could. Then you could query that AI with all sorts of questions about your life, possibly gleaning some unique insights....
