Did you know psychedelics are becoming legal in Australia? Not totally legal but kind of. I know it might fire up some people but the public messaging around psychedelics of the last 50 years has been highly misleading but fortunately there is an uprising and coming together of mental health experts, psychologists, scientific researchers and traditional plant medicine healers and shamans. It’s changing the way we approach the chaotic nature of modern daily life and heal our past trauma. It might surprise you as well that none of this stuff is new - it was once a deeply embedded practice in all cultures of the world until it was taken away and stigmatised. This is a really juicy episode!
