Anthony David Adams has been a pioneer in Psychedelics for the last 30 years. Starting with his work at 10 years old in storytelling via stop motion animation: Bear and His Chat With the Sun (story of a bear eating an Amanita muscaria mushroom and having a transcendent experience.)
At 16 he had his first psychedelic experience when two US Marine recruits dosed his Gatorade at lunch without his consent or knowledge.
Anthony spent his 20s in and out of suicidal depression and manic psychosis, for which he didn’t seek treatment. Meanwhile he was being invited to the World Games; self authoring patents; running one of TIME Magazines Top 25 Blogs in the World; and being the inspiration behind creations like Summit Series.
Around age 30, he started a personal research project to heal the root of his condition, out side of what the Stanford psychiatrists said was possible. He embraced a wholistic, shamanic approach and guided by intuition found a path through to deeper healing, without traditional psychiatric medicine.
Part of his journey included underground MDMA therapy, and upon completion of that experience, he was asked by his facilitator if he’d be interested in becoming a facilitator himself. Anthony went on to run an underground clinic in NYC for a number of years, and was featured on PBS for his work to help folks with PTSD.
Currently Anthony is a high performance coach & advisor to some of the worlds most successful visionaries and regularly consults for psychologists, psychiatrists, investors, and researchers.
