Objective: To explore participants' shared experience attending a pilot mindfulness-based retreat (MBR) intervention supporting the psychological well-being of mothers of pediatric heart transplant (HTx) recipients.
Methods: A qualitative description approach was used within a larger hybrid mixed-methods pilot study evaluating the implementation-effectiveness of a 2-day MBR tailored specifically for a pediatric HTx population. A purposive sample of mothers was recruited from a leading Canadian pediatric HTx center, and each represented a primary, female-identifying caregiver, sharing residence with a pediatric HTx recipient of at least 4 months post-transplant.
Meditating on psychedelics. A randomized placebo-controlled study of DMT and harmine in a mindfulness retreat.
J Psychopharmacol

Psychedelic Research and Therapy Development, Department of Adult Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Psychiatric University Clinic Zurich, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: In recent years, both meditation and psychedelics have attracted rapidly increasing scientific interest. While the current state of evidence suggests the promising potential of psychedelics, such as psilocybin, to enhance meditative training, it remains equivocal whether these effects are specifically bound to psilocybin or if other classical psychedelics might show synergistic effects with meditation practice. One particularly promising candidate is -dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an active ingredient of ayahuasca.

The Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada has high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI) that elevate HIV acquisition risks. We conducted a mixed-methods study to explore the potential of land-based peer leader retreats (PLR) in building HIV prevention enabling environments among Northern and Indigenous youth in the NWT. PLRs are grounded in Indigenous principles and ways of knowing, acknowledging the land as a physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual being with the potential to facilitate (re)connection to culture, community, and self.
