Psychedelics & Somatics

The Psychedelic Renaissance is in full bloom: there is research taking place all over the world, looking at how entheogens can treat a range of conditions including PTSD, depression, anxiety and addiction. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is becoming part of the mainstream and as a result, there is considerable curiosity about the different medicines and their applications for healing.
