Abbie Rosner is a Washington, DC-based writer and author of Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging (Park Street Press), with a foreword by psychiatrist Julie Holland, MD. She has covered older adults' psychedelic and cannabis use for Forbes, Double Blind, and other outlets since 2018, and writes the ELDEREVOLUTION newsletter on Substack - one of the only writers focused specifically on psychedelics in later life.
At 67, Rosner found her true purpose - now she unpacks elderhood, mortality, meeting ancestors in journeys, and why psilocybin may be the safest medicine for older adults. From divorce and reinvention to letting go of fear around death, this is a masterclass in conscious aging.
