Katherine MacLean
- Katherine MacLean has spent the past two decades studying the effects of mindfulness meditation and psychedelics, including as a lead researcher and session guide in the Johns Hopkins psilocybin trials from 2009-2013. Following her younger sister's untimely death from cancer, she left her faculty job and settled on an organic farm, where she gave birth to her two children. In 2015, Katherine co-founded the first professional center for psychedelic education and integration in New York City, and has since led retreats and workshops around the world. In her autobiographical writing, Katherine explores the complicated terrains of death, grief, trauma, and motherhood. She is a tireless advocate for free, equal, safe and non-institutional access to psychedelic medicines, including home-based and family-directed care. Learn more: katherinemaclean.org
