How Psychedelic Drugs Are Revolutionizing the Treatment of Mental Illness - with David Feifel\, MD\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Drugs that induce a distinctive\, subjective altered state of consciousness—broadly referred to as “Psychedelics”— stand to revolutionize the treatment of mental disorders. \nAt present only one such drug\, Ketamine\, is FDA-approved for human use and\, therefore\, can be prescribed (off-label) to treat mental illness. However\, many more psychedelics are under development including MDMA and Psilocybin\, which have been given “fast track” designation by the FDA. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Feifel will provide an overview of these drugs\, their approval status and how they will be used to impact on the treatment of mental illness. \n\nThis virtual event is FREE\, but in order to attend or receive a link to the recording\, YOU MUST REGISTER HERE:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEtd-2pqzkjHdEDpNYGQWfOQ6AslCtMqsEC\nAfter you register\, you will be emailed a link to the event.\nWe will also send you a reminder via email on the morning of the event. \n*****Please consider making a voluntary contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more – via our donation form so that we may continue bringing you quality KSG events free of charge.****** \n\nAbout David Feifel\, MD\, PhD\n \nDr. David Feifel is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at UC San Diego.

If used chronically\, many of these medications deplete vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy sexual function\, good mental health and vitality. \nWithout adequate amounts of essential nutrients\, those who take medications are more likely to suffer from nutrient depletion\, low mood\, low energy\, and sexual dysfunction. Integrative medicine (IM) can often prevent or mitigate many health problems and lead to reduced dosages of medications — thus avoiding side effects. \nTaking vitamins\, minerals\, and botanical supplements can support health and wellness and positively impact sexual and mental health. For example: \n• Nitric oxide (NO) boosts blood flow to the genitals and other parts of the body including the brain. NO bioavailability is enhanced by increasing the consumption of specific foods and supplements\, e.g.\, beets\, leafy green vegetables\, vitamins C and B12\, magnesium\, potassium\, and L-arginine. Increased NO is associated with reduced homocysteine\, an inflammatory substance detrimental to sexual and mental health and cognition. \n• And Vitamin D can improve sexual desire and arousal in women… and levels of testosterone and erectile ability in men. It also is necessary to produce dopamine\, the “feel good” neurotransmitter associated with pleasure\, reward\, focus\, and sexuality. \nThese are but a few examples that Dr. Bartlik will discuss. \nWe hope you’ll join us to learn more about how consuming key nutrients in foods and as supplements may reduce the need for pharmaceuticals.  \n\nSpace is limited to the first 100 registrants.\nThis webinar is FREE of charge\, but you must register.\nThis webinar will be recorded\, but you must register to receive a link.\nA confirmation and Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. \nREGISTER HERE\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqfu6rqDItG9dGRY7GJbg5an0Lm_I3ugfz\n\n*****So that KSG can continue bringing you quality events\, please consider making a contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more via our online form.****** \n\nRated one of New York Magazine’s Best Doctors in Psychiatry\, Barbara Bartlik\, MD is a recognized expert clinician and author in integrative medicine\, psychiatry and sexual health.

Or …reconnecting to old\, dear friends… or distancing from those that no longer serve you well. \nSometimes we need to honor and act on our personal dreams… or for some\, finding humility and paying attention to others after a period of neglect. \nThis passage may be about our relationship with physical pain\, the medical world… or finding an abiding reason for being. \nThe shadow is always there; as well as the challenge of discovering a new kind of freedom. \n\nIn this workshop\, with psychiatrist Mark Banschick and psychotherapist Penny Cohen as our guides\, we’ll explore the energetic impact of aging and discuss ways to let go of what no longer works\, while embracing what truly does.\nWe’ll unpack how aging is affecting us\, our clients or loved ones – and how we can seize happiness and live a more conscious life. \nAfter all\, we are all in the same special boat – the boat of this life. \nThere is a reason that aging is left for older people. We’ve got what it takes. \n\nSpace is limited to the first 100 registrants.\nThis webinar is FREE of charge\, but you must register.\nThis webinar will be recorded\, but you must register to receive a link.\nA confirmation and Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMucuytqj0pHdKdieNLICwW2pGicwYWTo-_ \n*****So that KSG can continue bringing you quality events\, please consider making a contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more via our online form.****** \n  \n\n \nMark Banschick\, MD is the co-founder of The Katonah Study Group.

In our attempts to heal\, we endeavor to reconstitute the scattered fragments and treat the issue as if we are in search of a misplaced item or two. This way of understanding illness allows us to avoid focusing on bandaging the symptom and instead honing in on the underlying vacuum. \nIn this brief journey\, Rabbis Maron and Winkler will introduce lesser-promulgated ancient and early medieval Hebraic and Aramaic sources of wisdom on the interplay of ailing and healing\, and on the long-neglected trauma of existing. \nThe sharing of this timeless wisdom is welcoming of people of all backgrounds\, religious affiliations\, cultures and belief-systems. \n\nThis event is has passed. If you registered\, you will receive a link to the recording. \nThe Rabbis encourage all from KSG to their books and other offerings.

Her academic background and her experience in in-patient and out-patient psychiatric as well as medical-surgical units\, combined with her immersion in pragmatic Judaic life wisdom\, has helped her clients bridge their internal islands of body\, mind and spirit toward more holistic resolution of bio-psychosocial health and relationship issues. Her book\, Ancient Moon Wisdom\, encapsulates her decades of research and teachings on Judaism’s rich treasury of wisdom around the lunar cycles and their relationship to Hebraic tribal totems. She is also the co-author of Spiral of the Three Mothers: An Aboriginal Jewish Wisdom Guide to the High Holydays\, and The Invitation: Living A Meaningful Death – Ancient Jewish Teachings on Death and Dying and their Lessons for Enriching and Deepening the Quality of Living. \nLearn more about Rabbi Maron’s Faces of the Sapphire courses and become a member at Patreon.com/facesofthesapphire \nVisit Rabbi Maron’s website at miriamscyberwell.com \n  \nRabbi Gershon Maron Winkler\, PhD is a widely recognized pioneer in the restoration of aboriginal Jewish Mystery Wisdom.

How do we cultivate and nurture healthy self-esteem? - with Dr. Andrew B. Klafter DESCRIPTION:In the last decade\, “Narcissism” has transformed from an esoteric mental health topic which was limited to professional mental health and academic psychological literatures to a well-known term that is discussed and debated by the lay public. In this presentation\, Dr Klafter will comprehensively review Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality problems. He will dispel certain myths and misconceptions about Narcissism which are advanced in the popular media. Dr. Klafter will describe a continuum of people struggling from self-esteem problems\, ranging from psychologically healthy individuals to the most fragile people in our society\, and will describe how our ability to nurture and regulate our self-esteem affects us in relationships\, at work\, and in our entire society. \n\n\nDr. Andrew B. Klafter is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice\, treating patients locally in Cincinnati OH\, as well as New York\, New Jersey\, and California. He specializes in the intensive treatment of adults and adolescents suffering from complex disorders which have not responded well to more typical treatment interventions\, including patients suffering from the difficulties associated with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality. \nIn addition to his practice\, Dr. Klafter teaches psychotherapy and psychoanalysis at the Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute to advanced psychotherapists who are seeking to deepen their skills in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. He has published and lectured nationally on the psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory and technique\, the interface between religion and psychiatry\, and the interface between depth psychology\, culture\, and the arts. In his private life\, Dr. Klafter is an accomplished musician and photographer. \nAndrew B. Klafter\, MD \nנחום בנימין קלפטר\n*7537 State Road\nCincinnati\, OH  45255\nphone (513) 474-8900   fax (513) 231-0653\nwww.klafter.com\n  \n*****Please consider making a voluntary contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more – via our donation form at https://katonahstudygroup.org/support-us/ so that we may continue bringing you quality KSG events free of charge.****** URL:https://katonahstudygroup.org/event/what-is-narcissism/ LOCATION:ZOOM – You will be provided details upon registration ORGANIZER;CN="Katonah Study Group":MAILTO:katonahstudygroup@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220216T203000 DTSTAMP:20260423T164455 CREATED:20220129T215923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220129T224843Z UID:2235-1645036200-1645043400@katonahstudygroup.org SUMMARY:ESSENTIAL DETOX PATHWAYS – KIDNEYS\, LIVER\, LYMPH: Their importance for a healthy immune system - Dr. Somesh N.

However\, a reverence for human reason banished the spiritual from science during the Age of Enlightenment. \nOne could argue the extremes with which we now grapple – between religious fervor and science – are the direct result of separation between spiritual evolution and technical achievement. \nIs it possible that the salve for our technological emphasis may be in found in a quest for the mystical? \nAstrologer Pamela Cucinell will provide insight into how science and the mystical arts can share households\, once again. She’ll explain how astrology offers avenues to self-awareness\, community and individual growth. During the experiential portion of the evening\, Pamela will ground us in a guided meditation\, guiding a dialogue with the mystical to transcend our seemingly impossible challenges. \nIt is suggested that attendees have a copy of their birth horoscope before the presentation – and registrants are encouraged to go to Astro.com to generate a free horoscope. The symbolic resonance will come alive and inform\, validate and provide guidance during the presentation. \n\nThis event is FREE\, but you must register.\nA confirmation and Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0td-ipqT8rHtee_a1pyr6aHbgO6tQRCS25 \n*****Please consider making a voluntary contribution of $10-$15-$25 or more – via our donation form so that we may continue bringing you quality KSG events free of charge.****** \n\nPamela Cucinell graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in painting and spent her twenties coming to the realization the NYC Art World wasn’t her world.

She studied at the CS Jung Center and is a “graduate” of Jungian analysis. She holds the National Council for Geocosmic Research NCGR professional certification for astrological consulting. Pamela considers astrology a symbolic language she deciphers with the expertise of an artist and storyteller. \nIn addition to her work as an astrologer\, Pamela obtained Reiki Mastery\, and was the proud owner of the beloved metaphysical and wellness store in Mount Kisco\, Sunburst Oasis.

They are constantly vigilant for danger\, yet able to return immediately to a peaceful state of grazing when the danger has passed. They know precisely how to rebalance their energy and bodies. Horses also have insights to offer healthcare practitioners about how to partner effectively with their patients/clients\, as horses will not simply cooperate with recommended treatment; they must be effectively engaged in any treatment plan for it to succeed.  \nWhat practical knowledge can we learn from Carrie and her herd of horses?  \nWe’ll learn techniques to promote optimal health and well-being\, including strategies to release stress and “return to grazing.” Carrie will explore ways we can rely on our senses to integrate delight in every day\, and recognize and expand our “herds” of support. In addition\, health professionals and holistic medicine practitioners will be able to identify new ways to engage their patients/clients and develop effective partnerships across the continuum of care.  \nHow does this presentation match the KSG goal?  \nThe presentation relates directly to KSG’s goal of bringing together conventional health professionals and holistic medicine practitioners in exploring wellbeing and health. Experiential learning with horses is an emerging field that has demonstrated powerful results in both traditional medicine and holistic health. Stanford University\, for example\, developed a curriculum on Medicine and Horsemanship that pairs medical students with horses to learn how to create effective doctor-patient relationships\, the University of Kentucky has studied the effect of equine-assisted learning on developing emotional intelligence competencies in nurses\, and HeartMath and others have published research on the positive effects being with a horse has on participants’ heart rhythm and cortisol levels. As Winston Churchill said\, “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man” and research is proving he was correct. \nWhat will attendees experience?   \nThis program will be highly interactive and include a combination of presentation\, discussion\, and shared experiences\, including a guided meditation and creative activities designed to heighten participants’ senses and provide new perspectives. In addition\, the virtual gathering format will provide an opportunity to observe and interact with the horses as Carrie presents from the barn.  \n  \n\nView Carrie’s slides here\n \nView the video\, available until July 23\, 2021\, here \nYou must use passcode  y73tboA@ to view the video \n\nAbout Carrie…  \nCarrie Brady\, JD\, MA is the Principal of CBrady Consulting and Executive Director of Possibilities Farm LLC\, where she partners with horses in innovative wellness and personal development programs. \nShe is passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths and achieve their personal and professional goals.

A discussion with Mark Banschick\, MD DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a special\, free of charge event – a conversation about how COVID-19 and quarantine has affected our important relationships. \nIt’s been 100 years since the last pandemic. And\, as we emerge\, we are learning things about ourselves and the ones we love. Are these relationships working? Perhaps better than we thought? Or perhaps worse? \nIt’s time we process what we are going through. Join Dr. Mark Banschick\, an expert on marriage\, divorce and children\, to dialogue about what has been happening. There are lessons for us all to learn. For some\, things are looking brighter. For others\, it’s a confrontation with something that isn’t working\, and needs to change. \nWhile Dr. Banschick can’t fix a marriage or a relationship\, he can provide general advice to help folks move forward\, and discuss the experience of clinicians working under these new conditions. \nRead Dr. Banschick’s recent article for some talking points: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-intelligent-divorce/202004/how-covid-19-affects-marriage-and-how-adapt \nPLEASE NOTE: The information provided in this free webinar does not constitute medical\, counseling or legal advice.
