Psychedelic Passage

Creativity, Artistry, and Psychedelics


Listen Later

The symbiotic relationship between psychedelics and creativity fosters both inspiration for novel ideas and vital avenues for expression, especially during integration. This broad definition of artistry emphasizes that everyone can engage in creation to materialize their authentic selves and leave a meaningful mark on the world.

“Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others.” — California State University Northridge

By California State University Northridge's definition, creativity is three-pronged, dealing with problem solving, communicating, and entertainment. We believe that creativity is a core facet of the human experience, and something uniquely attributed to our species. 

Where else do you see art purposefully created? And how does it put us at an evolutionary advantage? What’s the point of it? 

We might not have the answers, but we know art is a form of expression that helps us express things we may not even fully understand. Things that lose meaning with just words. 

Creativity and psychedelics have a unique relationship, directly affecting each other like two species in a symbiotic relationship. Psychedelics can act as a tool to inspire creativity, while creativity can be used as a form of expression during any part of the process, possibly most importantly in the integration phase.

Let’s dive in and learn about how creativity and psychedelic use intersect in many aspects of life, and why creativity is so important to the psychedelic healing process.
