Bree has a passion for creating individual, organizational and global creative liberatory change. She has been envisioning systems of care that challenge current thinking for two decades.

Her knowledge base draws from her extensive experience in transpersonal and systems psychology, contemplative practices, yoga and eastern medicine. She teaches large organizations to alchemize change at the deepest levels while creating sustainable systems that aim practitioners and clients toward liberation. Her model lives at the intersection of biochemistry, physics, developmental psychology and mystical spirituality. Her clarity and compassionate understanding of the challenges we all face as humans brings an honesty to her care, her teaching and the systems she designs. She is the founder of the former Vermont Center for Integrative Therapy which opened in 2010 and was one of the first mental health centers to combine ancient systems of healing interwoven with current cutting edge systems of care. She is known for her dynamic speaking presence and her ability to weave disparate elements into new forms that change view, conversation, and care. Bree is an adjunct faculty member of Darthmouth, and has spoken extensively at institutions, hospitals, conferences and universities on topics in integrative medicine, eating disorders and addictions.

In this episode of the EPRC Podcast, Sam Tullman (MPH, BCN), Head of Clinical Research at Quilt Technologies, tells host Dr. Shoshannah Bryn Jones Square about his research, including a Phase I clinical trial of n,n–DMT in Brazil for the treatment of depression. Sam is an EPRC member and a researcher and consultant in the study of Emergent practices, with primary focuses in EEG and behavior change. He received a degree in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania and an MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the University of Washington, and he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study the neurophysiological and behavioral impacts of psychedelic substances indigenous to Brazil. His research in emergence also includes a pilot study looking at the impact of neurofeedback on interoceptive awareness and the study of the neurological mechanics of people recognizing things they know–like their sense of self. Sam has spent the last few years of his professional life consulting in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, architecting the EEG training strategy for FIELD Neuroscience Solutions, and aiding in developing “mental state” classifiers and training strategies for Atai Life Sciences’ Psyber Health. He now works at Quilt Technologies as the Head of Clinical Research, helping build machine learning models that predict mental health using phone data. His overarching interest is allowing transformative practices and experiences to be more accessible to the general population, which brings together his work in Health Communications, Psychedelic Neuroscience, and BCI. He is also a dedicated student of Rinzai Zen but draws heavily in his practice from other Buddhist traditions and from modern Western psychology & Neuroscience.
