Minter Dialogue with Martijn Schirp

Martijn Schirp is the cofounder and Chief Visionary Officer at the Synthesis Institute, that offers safe, legal, medically supervised psychedelic retreats, based out of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. As they write on their site, they "make the psychedelic experience accessible for curious individuals who want to utilize moderate-to-high doses of truffles to catalyze creative breakthroughs, explore consciousness, find meaning, improve confidence, and search for a mystical experience." In this conversation, we discuss Martijn's journey to founding the Synthesis Institute, what has changed in our society that has brought about our crisis in mental health, the treatments they provide, the protocols they follow and the prospects for the future.
