Do Magic Mushrooms Matter? The Science and Spirit of Psilocybin (Spring Term 2026)

Participant Testimonials:

The course was extremely well designed in content and presentation. John was an effective study leader able to hold the attention of the class with his knowledge, personal stories, and a sense of humor. Additionally, the robust class interaction added a level of depth to the subject matter at hand.

This was an amazing class. Jon is so generous in sharing all of this information and the work he and his collaborators did on the associated materials (like the audiobook/podcast) is amazing. Also great to have the web site and the on-line version of the class available to Osher (referring to the recordings he made, not the Zoom recordings of the full classes). All of this is such a labor of love and I appreciate it so much. An amazing gift. Thanks so much to Jon.
