Lilja Þorsteinsdóttir is a Psychologist from Iceland who specialises in group psychedelic integration, healing trauma (and the emotional and physical symptoms in women), harm reduction, and treating addiction and chronic pain and illness. She has created a safe platform full of courses to help people get in touch with their playfulness and creativity, increasing people’s self-understanding and connection with thems elves and the world around them. She offers needed perspective on both the healing potential of psychedelics in psychotherapy and the risks involved. She calls for all involved in facilitation and participation to practice reciprocity with the cultures, medicines and lands that these healing practices derive from.
