PTSF 39 (with Jonas and Kristina of the Psychedelic Literacy Fund)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In today’s Christmas episode of Solidarity Friday, Kyle and Joe take a break from the news and instead sit down with Jonas Di Gregorio and Kristina Soriano of the Psychedelic Literacy Fund, a donor-advised fund working to raise money and co-finance the translation and publication of the most important books on psychedelic therapy into a variety of different languages. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Their first project is both volumes of Stan Grof's</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400">The Way of the Psychonaut</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">, which they hope to have translated into German, French, and Italian by July (for Grof's 90th birthday), and they have started a list of future projects, with Christopher Bache's</span> <i><span style= "font-weight: 400">LSD and the Mind of The Universe</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400">likely next. They talk about early interactions with Rick Doblin, why they went with a donor-advised fund rather than a crowdfunding model, the synchronicities they saw at early steps in their path, what Grof's work has meant to them, and a possible future goal of setting up a Grof museum in Prague. Kyle and Joe also share stories of their interactions with Grof and how his work (and how little he was being discussed) led to the beginnings of Psychedelics Today 4 years ago. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If you're feeling some holiday generosity and want to help more people gain the knowledge Grof has brought to so many, please visit</span> <a href= "https://psychedelicliteracy.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><span style= "font-weight: 400">Psych</span><span style= "font-weight: 400">edelicliteracy.org</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400">and make a donation (or volunteer translation services or suggest future projects).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Lastly, if you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas from Psychedelics Today!</span></p> <h2>Notable Quotes</h2> <p><span st
