Synthesis Digital LLC, the Ashland, OR-based company which operated a Psychedelic Practitioner Training program and attempted to open an Oregan psilocybin treatment center, has broken its silence on the shocking recent bankruptcy of its sister company Netherlands-based Synthesis Institute B.V.
Founder Martijn Schirp released a statement on March 10 acknowledging that both companies were forced to terminate all employees and contractors on March 2 plunging the practitioner training program into deep uncertainty. Schirp sent the letter to all current Synthesis Institute B.V. and former Synthesis Digital employees, contractors and Psychedelic Practitioner Training faculty.
Schirp was both apologetic and self-pitying, saying the last few weeks were “the most difficult of my career” and that he was “devastated” by the impact of the financial collapse on the organizations’ staff and students.
According to Schirp, the speed of these developments, and his legal inability to comment, had “created a lot of confusion for team members and clients” and allegedly “harmed reputations, increased potential liabilities, and jeopardized ongoing conversations for proactive solutions.” With a Dutch court-appointed “curator” now in place to handle legal matters, Schirp says that he was now at liberty to confirm that “Synthesis Institute B.V. was declared bankrupt on March 6, 2023.”
