September Faerie Ring | Psychedelic Accountability Forum

Introductions:

  • Personal update & what draws you to a discussion about accountability?
  • Our initial concept for building an accountability forum is kind of tied into building a local psychedelic directory. Consenting participants of this directory would be open to this feedback/accountability platform as to not “out” people in the space.
  • We want to bring community into his discussion and the creation of the platform as it would be a platform for all of us to use. We are curious if this is a platform you see needed in the community and how to curate a healthy, effective forum.

Questions:

  • As this conversation continues to develop, we question how would we address sexual assault allegations. Do we investigate further than sharing the review?
  • How to manage reviews we know not to be true?
  • How and should people address reviews about them?
  • How can we integrate accountability systems into underground psychedelic spaces?
  • What rules & regulations should be implemented within an accountability Forum?
  • What risks come with establishing an accountability forum?
  • What questions or concerns do you have about a psychedelic accountability forum?
  • How do we prevent the forum from being used as a tool for cancel culture, false narratives, and other harm?

Notes:

  • We should allow comments for both ends to protect both sides
  • Moderators get changed out every month: Fresh set of eyes, having trainings for moderators, have a guideline, anyone can be a moderator, collective responsibility,
  • Good leaders know how to grow the team and elevate peoples strengths
  • Only moderating the serious allegations
  • What is a serious allegation?
  • The reviewer can say if they want it to be reviewed
  • Each community can handle how they manage an allegation so you can see how this community handles their allegations- tribalism, like how states have their own laws
  • We can have this platform for our own community and slow others to use our blueprint
  • End of year, thorough transparent review of each organization- audit
  • Clear guidelines for our organization
  • The goal is bringing community together, having formal record of patterns/events that happen in community, system of harm reduction, platform for information to be shared
