Ripples: Psychedelic Peacebuilding and Collective Liberation in Israel & Palestine

 Ripples Alliance weaves psychedelics, peacebuilding, science, art, and rituals to foster a movement of peace and liberation – in Israel and Palestine, and beyond. It is the continuation of seven years of research, now transforming into a non-profit to continue and expand our work. Our pilot projects, launched as research studies at Imperial College London, revealed the potential of psychedelic medicines for societal healing. Working with a cohort of Palestinian and Israeli researchers, peacemakers, and artists, we led several successful sessions for deep personal & collective healing and visionary future building. In this presentation, we will discuss Ripples’ future and explain our long-term strategy. In short, we are guided by the ripple effect. Any transformative program will ripple and weave into a broader ecosystem, which includes art, science, community building, education, policy making, and anything else that wants to emerge from shared transformative experiences. We are grounded dreamers – operating between dream and reality, with a concrete plan.
