Psychedelic Theology

Epiphany: Psychedelics, Christian Community, and the New Search for God


Listen Later

In this live recording from The Advocate Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill North Carolina, Kaleb Graves guides participants through an introduction to the Psychedelic Renaissance and the Christian church's place in it. 

 

Psychedelics can induce cognitive and sensory changes similar to those described by prophets, visionaries, and mystics, and as psychedelics enter the mainstream, those who partake are talking about their experiences. How should the church respond? How should a minister provide pastoral counseling to a veteran who was treated with DMT for PTSD, now claiming to have met Jesus? How should a campus pastor respond if a sophomore asks to give their testimony about converting to Christianity after an LSD trip?

 

What should lay leaders and trusted friends say if someone asks them to be a “trip sitter” during a psychedelic treatment for depression? Learn what psychedelic substances are, the kinds of experiences they can induce, and what these experiences may mean. Journey through church tradition and the scriptures to learn how ministers, lay leaders, parents, and peers can be equipped to provide spiritual and interpersonal care to someone participating in the Psychedelic Renaissance.
