Psychedelics and Identity Initiative
Over the past year, we have begun to put together a diverse team of individuals who have benefited enormously from psychedelics to shape their sexuality or gender identity and want to lead the charge in this regard.
What does this look like? It can look like going into a medicine journey and realizing you identify as gay. Maybe going through a journey and realizing you’re questioning your gender identity. Or perhaps it is realizing you’re interested in a different form of relationship structure than you are in currently.
When this happens, having a supportive environment around you to exit and emerge from the journey is of utmost importance.
We are designing retreat protocols to be used in groups to help explore these aspects of personal identity and training facilitators looking to specialize in this area. This includes learning how to support others in gender transitions, relationship changes, or other ways to move forward in their lives that are different than their current life. We are also creating educational materials for clinicians to support these transitions or explorations.
