Dr. Rosalind Watts 2 Episodes Jun 29, 2026

Welcome to Stand in the Circle, with me, Dr Rosalind Watts. I'm a clinical psychologist, a psychedelic researcher, and founder of ACER Integration. This is a podcast about how we get connected in a culture that pulls us apart. We talk about the hardest experiences of being human, and the circles of care we have needed, couldn't find, and are searching for now. With stories from people who have lived it, and from researchers and practitioners. Healing in community is the older way. The work of our times is to rebuild our connectedness to ourselves, to each other, and to the living world.
