Hudson Valley Psychedelic Society Meetup- Ketamine Panel

Last night’s gathering at the N.E.S.T. was a beautiful reminder of what becomes possible when community, curiosity, and deep listening come together.

We are deeply grateful to the Hudson Valley Psychedelic Society for co-creating this space, to Zach Kalatsky of Forest Haven , and to our incredible panelists and contributors, Dee Dee Goldpaugh, Matthias von Reusner, Jeffrey Tiger, and Chris Chamberlin, for sharing their knowledge, experience, and presence so generously.

Ketamine as sacred medicine, chemical substance or party drug? Is there a difference? How does it help? How does it hurt?

Together, we explored the many dimensions of ketamine—from medicine to mystery—held in a space of respect, inquiry, and collective care. These conversations are vital as we continue to bridge science, spirit, and community in meaningful ways.

To everyone who joined us—thank you for your openness, your questions, and your willingness to be part of this evolving dialogue. It is your presence that brings these evenings to life.

For those who couldn’t join us—or who wish to revisit the conversation—we’re happy to share the recording of the panel.
