Introduction to Psychedelics

Author: peg peters September 17, 2020 Duration: 45:16

After a few months break, we're back to talk about a fairly significant shift in our lives that has taken place over the past few years.  About 4 years ago, we began to read about the use of psychedelics to treat some serious mental health issues like PTSD and the anxiety associated with having to face a potentially life-threatening disease.  Then one of our very own community had to walk this challenging path and psychedelics were instrumental in her emotional recovery.  We begin to tell Laurie's story as a way to introduce this very exciting and complex topic.


Hosted by peg peters, UNVEILED: exploring psychedelics and spirituality is a series of conversations that delve into the intricate connections between altered states of consciousness and spiritual seeking. While rooted in personal experiences with Christian symbolism, the discussions actively embrace an inclusive and open approach to spirituality. The podcast creates a space where faith, culture, health, and the many forms of human relationships intersect. Listeners will find episodes that thoughtfully examine how substances like psychedelics can influence personal meaning, spiritual practice, and overall well-being. This isn't about providing easy answers, but rather exploring the nuanced questions that arise at the crossroads of tradition and modern exploration. You'll hear genuine dialogue that reflects on film, television, and fitness through this unique lens, offering reviews and perspectives that tie everyday culture back to deeper existential themes. The aim is to foster understanding within the greater community and beyond, welcoming anyone curious about how individual journeys of meaning are shaped. Each episode invites reflection on how we navigate the profound and the mundane in our search for connection.
