Psychedelics Today

Are you aware that we have a New Moon?

It is a perfect time to remember your highest intentions. 

I was interviewed by the Psychedelics Today Podcast. It is a little scary to be speaking so openly about this work. But we are in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance, and I find it important to share some of what I’ve learned.

I am thrilled that we are reclaiming such powerful gifts for individual healing. But I think we are missing half the coin. Our ancestors did these practices together, held in sacred ceremony.

We cover A LOT of ground here, ranging from work on race and masculinity to the colonial status of Puerto Rico. Among all these things, you will find a good articulation of:

• How we move from trauma to individual healing

• The importance of structures of belonging

• The exponential power of healing together

• The path to Self Sovereignty

• The Emergence of a New We

From the Podcast:

“We live in a culture that yields anxiety, that yields depression, that yields loneliness. That is a crisis of meaning and a crisis of connection. And so, we can use these medicines to adapt ourselves to a culture that is unhealthy, or we can work with these medicines to actually shift the culture. But we don’t shift the culture just by improving our mental health and spiritual health. That helps, but it is about what we’re doing together that matters.”

I always love to hear what you think, specially when going out on such a limb. Send me an honest note about how all of this is landing.

Saludos,

PS: During the episode, I refer to the practice of Emergent Dialogue as the most important edge of my work. It has nothing to do with psychedelics. And my teachers are offering a class starting October 27. I just finished supporting facilitation of their last course and it is changing my life.
