What you’ll learn from this episode:
Including psychedelics in change-work can break through deep conditioning and armouring, allowing for more subtle energetic techniques to be effective.
The stigma around psychedelics is rooted in archaic religion and outdated policies, and it is important to move past this stigma to explore the potential benefits of these substances. The historical use of psychedelics in ancient and indigenous cultures suggests their benevolent impact on human consciousness.
Creating systems change and a new paradigm requires a communal approach and a focus on impact and interconnectedness.
Reciprocity and honouring indigenous wisdom are essential in the psychedelic space, especially for those of us who are benefiting directly or indirectly from their generosity.
