Ada Kałużna

Ada Kałużna is a researcher with interest in psychedelics, consciousness and extraordinary experience. Her master’s thesis (Clinical Mental Health Sciences @ UCL) focused on the psychotherapeutic benefit of the ego-dissolution and connectedness elements of the psychedelic experience. It followed on from her interdisciplinary bachelor’s thesis (completed under the supervision of Prof. Yujin Nagasawa @ the University of Birmingham), which showcased empirical evidence for the existence of one ubiquitous consciousness permeating the universe. She presented her research on psychedelic therapy at the MIND Conference in Berlin and published it with the Journal of Psychedelic Studies, garnering significant interest since. She worked as a Scientific Officer at the Beckley Foundation, the chief psychedelic research foundation in the UK, where she coordinated different studies and envisioned new research directions.
