The Psychedelic healing journey is an exploration into the profound world of psychedelic-assisted therapy and healing. It delves into the use of psychedelic medicines in therapeutic settings to facilitate deep, emotional, and spiritual experiences. At the heart of this, is the concept of transformation and self-discovery.

Women elders who facilitate this type of healing experience guide individuals through these altered states in a safe and supportive environment, they aim to help them confront and process unresolved emotional traumas and gain insights into their personal challenges.

These fearless women elders see themselves not just as therapists but as priestesses, recognizing the profound spiritual and soulful dimensions of psychedelic healing. They aspire to see people live up to their soul's purpose, find meaning, and cultivate authentic connections with themselves and their communities.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rachel Harris, Ph.D., Author of Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground and Listening to Ayahuasca. Dr. Rachel talks about her book "Swimming in the Sacred" which features interviews with women elders who have been facilitating psychedelic healing journeys underground for decades. She shares that these women see themselves more as priestesses rather than therapists, focusing on helping people live up to their soul's purpose. Psychedelic journeys can help with conditions like PTSD and depression but integration is an ongoing process that psychotherapy can support.
