Hello, Breakero!
We are about to decide the likely venue for next year’s edition of Breaking Convention the conference 2023. We’d love to have your feedback on a rather important question; do you want the conference to stay in London, or not…?
Here’s a link to a very short survey, which will only take two or three minutes.

Best wishes,

The Beckley Foundation are excited to announce the launch of a new remote observational study, led by Amanda Feilding in collaboration with Quantified Citizen, to investigate the effects of regular microdosing on meditation practice.
The scientific study of meditation and psychedelic drugs has seen remarkable developments in the last few years, yet few attempts have been made at bridging these two domains of inquiry despite intriguing evidence of overlap between the phenomenology and neurophysiology of meditation practice and psychedelic states. In this study, they intend to explore the effects of regular microdosing on meditation practice over the course of 3 months, by remotely collecting data in meditation practitioners via a mobile app.
