Julia, what a stunning piece of writing this is. You capture so well what needs to be said right now: even with all the hype, these aren’t miracle drugs, “one trip and you’re done.” You have to do the real work. The psilocybin can help you on your way, but it’s not going to do it all for you.
I’ve been publishing on a series on psychedelic parenting and one thing I thought is someone needed to write a piece like this. I’m so happy you did.
“Integration is perpetual, it’s a lifestyle.” Amen! And finding that joy (and those highs) in daily life, with nothing in your system, is a beautiful thing to behold, and worth all the,work.
Kevin, thanks so much for your kind words. You're so right, beauty is accessible in our every day, we just need to be present enough to notice it. PS. Love that you're writing about psychedelics & parenting!
Your articles are filled with hard won wisdom and teachings for us all. Thank you Julia for your courage and efforts to assist us in evolving to our fullest potential through the integrative journey of earth’s gifts.
Wonderful read, the only psychedelic legal here in Florida are ketamine infusions, which I feel have helped me immensely in the past, but the feeling doesn’t last past a week or so. What am I not doing? I hate to journal, but am still struggling with MDD, especially after the recent deaths of my mom and two of my pets.
I would LOVE to check out mushrooms but they are not available here. Thank you.
Hi Cindy, wonderful to hear that you've found relief in working with Ketamine. Your experience mirrors the findings from clinical research that results usually last 4-6 weeks. Ketamine is a bit of a different medicine than classical psychedelics, for most people a few sessions alleviate the symptoms but do not help permanently heal the root causes of the mood disorder. So you're doing nothing wrong. I'm sorry to hear about your recent losses and can't imagine the grief you're currently going through. I hope you'll find ways to create the space to process those feelings and mourn, whether that's with or without psychedelic medicine. Sending you love!
Hi Cindy - I'm so sorry to hear this. If you'd like we could set up a 20 minute chat in the new year to see if I can point you towards any next steps in your journey?
absolutely amazing piece! Im going to be taking an ibogaine treatment at https://mindscaperetreat.com and found this profoundly helpful. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! Excited and nervous 😅 I’ve heard so many astonishing things. Everyone says that it’s likr taking a step back in time and witnessing your like in reserve. Very excited

Thank you so very much. I cannot wait until Florida wakes up and sees the power of psychedelics.
Have a wonderful weekend.😻
Thank you, it just seems to get worse and I don’t know what to do.

I just started working with an anxiety coach and it seems to be helping.
But thank you. I need to change my thought patterns.
