I’ve been very involved in work and research on psychedelics over the last year or so. I’ve mentioned psychedelics<\/a> in a few of my posts here, but I wanted to flag up a couple of presentations. The first is online next week: I’m talking about Sacred Ecology: The Psychedelic Connection<\/em> at the Embodied Spirituality event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 1996, I wrote Sacred Ecology<\/a>. Now, nearly 30 years on, I\u2019ll be exploring that territory through a psychedelic lens. Psychedelic experiences can be profoundly spiritual, often inducing mystical experiences. What does this tell us about the power of awe, nature connection and the future of therapy<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started working as a Facilitator on psychedelic retreats in The Netherlands last year. This involved spending hours supporting people on their psychedelic journeys as well as helping them to prepare for and integrate the experience. Nature connection is widely recommended for psychedelic preparation and integration and as this is a particular interest of mine, I’ve begun to develop and refine this approach. In this presentation at the University of Exeter, I talk about the work I’ve done on psychedelic retreats and explain how we might apply ecotherapy to integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
