Psychedelic Conversations | Anne Rossignol - Psychedelics In Recovery

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, we speak with Anne Rossignol, a leading voice in the intersection of psychedelics and addiction recovery. Anne shares her personal journey from traditional 12-step abstinence-based programs to incorporating psilocybin and community-based support into her healing process. As a co-applicant and PPI lead on the psilocybin trial at Imperial College, she discusses her role in bridging clinical research with lived experience and highlights the importance of integration through community. We dive into the structure and goals of the upcoming psilocybin trial for opioid addiction and the unique challenges of connecting participants with long-term support. Anne also introduces the Psychedelics in Recovery fellowship—a safe space for those using psychedelics in recovery—to foster connection, reduce stigma, and promote healing. This is a powerful conversation about science, spirituality, and community-driven transformation in addiction recovery.

About Anne:Three years into her abstinence-based recovery program, Anne encountered psychedelics and discovered PIR (Psychedelics in Recovery). This marked the beginning of a transformative spiritual journey of self-healing and recovery, opening doors she never imagined. Her path led her to the Amazon, where she immersed herself in deeper exploration, eventually finding herself at the forefront of psychedelic research at Imperial College as a consultant on the Psilopioid clinical trial.

On her road to recovery, Anne was called to psychedelics and discovered PIR (Psychedelics in Recovery), a fellowship of individuals integrating psychedelics and plant medicines within a 12-step framework. This marked the beginning of a journey of individuation and deep transformation. Starting with a microdosing approach that helped release layers of shame and guilt, she broke free from the repetitive cycles of addiction and experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Through psilocybin ceremonies and a life-changing journey to the Amazon, Anne found emotional and spiritual openness, realizing her connection to the greater whole. No longer isolated or detached, she embraced the understanding that the antidote to addiction is connection—a bridge that psychedelics have powerfully provided on her path to living life on life’s terms.
