Psychedelic Conversations | Lena Franklin, Jeff Glattstein - The EAST Institute #PsychedelicScience2023

Welcome to the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, Colorado!

In this episode we delve into Lena and Jeff's background story and what brought both of them to work with psychedelic medicine. We discuss the distinction between a psychedelic-assisted therapist and a medicine person, their structured healing program "The EAST Method", their microdosing program "Embody", and their partnership with "The Bonefrog Foundation" - helping veterans with TBI (traumatic brain injury) and combat-induced PTSD.

About Lena:

Lena grew up in a hybrid Vietnamese Buddhist and Southern Presbyterian home. Her mother, originating from the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, taught her meditation and spiritual rituals when she was a young child. Lena grew up traveling back and forth from Vietnam visiting her family in the Mekong Delta. These spiritual roots deeply inform her life’s work of teaching meditation and ancient forms of spiritual healing to the world.

During Lena’s first year in graduate school, her beloved Vietnamese mother suddenly passed from a stroke. This traumatic loss returned Lena to the spiritual seeds her mother planted within her. Lena went on to study ancient healing traditions abroad, including in Peru where she received her healer’s rites from the Q’ero Shamanic Tribe.

Lena’s intelligent integration of meditation, transpersonal psychology, energy medicine and shamanism is an integrative and powerful approach to multi-dimensional healing. Lena’s unique work has been featured in the New York Times, Yoga Magazine and The Telegraph in addition to TV networks such as Bravo and Lifetime.

About Jeff:
