Oct 11 - Nov 8, 2022: Addressing abuse in psychedelic spaces
If you spend significant time in the psychedelic community you have likely heard stories of abuse.
From the corners of the amazon to our own backyard, it seems more and more survivors are coming forward. While these stories of abuse by facilitators and intimate partners may be new to us, these abuses of power have been in the background since the beginning.
This has always been the shadow side of the psychedelic movement. Now that we as a community are starting to become more aware of the prevalance of abuse, we have a chance to learn how we can do better. If we don’t learn to better handle the shadows of abuse within our community, we risk losing the movement entirely.
This course by no means has all the answers, but it can increase our understanding and help those in the psychedelic movement begin to create solutions from a place of deeper understanding. From this deeper understanding, we can begin to ask good questions that can lead to radical, transformative, and hopefully long-lasting change.
