While psychedelics have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and shamanic rituals by indigenous peoples, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of scientific interest in their potential therapeutic benefits. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that psychedelics may be effective in treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
I recently read the book, How to Change Your Mind, by Michael Pollan - a fascinating look at the history and potential uses of psychedelics, so I have been paying attention to all the new buzz around this topic. I was intrigued to see this event being offered for free this week, and thought I would share it with you so you can learn more about this promising new field in the health world.

In recent years, a renewed interest in the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics - especially for treating various mental health conditions - has brought psychedelics back into the limelight. Psychedelics are thought to work by modulating the activity of serotonin, a brain chemical involved in mood, perception, and cognition.
Psychedelics are also generally considered to be quite safe when used in a therapeutic setting. However, there are some risks associated with their use, so it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before (and while) using psychedelics.
Considering all of these factors, psychedelics are gaining renewed interest from the medical community as potential treatments for a range of mental health conditions. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that psychedelics may be effective in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Psychedelics are thought to be beneficial in these conditions due to their ability to induce a state of altered consciousness, which can lead to profound insights and a greater understanding of oneself and the world around them. The legal status of psychedelics is also changing in many countries, which is opening up new opportunities for research and clinical use.
This week's Psychedelic Healing Summit delves into more detail on these topics - but it's more than just a rundown of the latest clinical research — it’s a 5-day voyage into the wisdom, intelligence, and integration of psychedelics and plant medicine you can apply to your whole-body wellness practice.
You’ll experience 5 full days dedicated to the science behind psychedelic healing… the fundamentals for responsibly using sacred plants and psychedelics across traditions…
… a range of deep transformational practices across lineages and ancestral heritages…
and an exploration of the role of sacred plants and psychedelics in opening up new pathways for healing, creativity, and connection.
