Last Updated on March 9, 2025 by pg@petergamma.org

Psychedelic Research in Switzerland

Million heir and Zen Priest Vanja Palmers is one of the promoters of Psilocybin research in Switzerland

  • Vanja is particularly interested in the rehabilitation of those substances that gave his life a fundamentally new, expanded perspective, within the framework of scientific or therapeutic application.
  • https://www.felsentor.ch/vanja-palmers
  • Vanja Palmers has spent 10 years in a Buddhist monastery in California, but then came back to Switzerland.
  • There he founded and funded the Felsentor Meditation Center.
  • Vanja Palmers was also speaker for the Mind Foundation and is author for this foundation.

Meditation Research in Switzerland

Founder of the Meditation Reserach Institute Switzerland (MRIS) is Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

  • The MRIS is a private project on Peter Gamma s personal website.
  • The MRIS has no grant for research
  • And the MRIS has only mediocre or even no success up to the present day.

Next to having no grant for research, another issue of Meditation research in Switzerland is that Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org
looses a lot of time with criticizing popular scientific books about science and meditation written by Matthieu Richard, Richard Davidson And Daniel Goleman.

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org supposes that Meditation Research can only be successful as a long-term internationally coordinated project with long-term goals and a research which is funded by foundations with charitable purposes, and not funded by foundations who are rich and want to maximize profit from meditation research.
