Kate Cotter has been researching psychedelic medicines for nearly 20 years and is passionate about their healing potential for treating conditions such as PTSD, addiction, depression, and anxiety, in addition to offering profound opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. She believes that revising drug policy on the issue of psychedelics is a crucial step in bringing much-needed healing to our communities, as well as a critical matter of criminal justice reform. She recently served on Nevada's SB242 Psychedelic Medicines Working Group and leads Sierra Psychedelic Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing education, building community, and promoting risk management around psychedelic medicines.
Kate is also a semi-retired professional singer-songwriter and life-long creative. Her passion for psychedelic healing is enriched by her studies in depth psychology, Jungian theory, neuroscience, mindfulness, and meditation. She is a certified yoga instructor, a trained flow state coach, and holds degrees in Religion and French. Kate has completed a 20-hour course in the neuroscience of psychedelics, and Psychedelics Today's 12-month Vital Psychedelic Training Program in Psychedelic Therapies and Integration.
